Saturday evening, no college classes, no work. Not that Hideaki works ever, his parents pay for everything. He doesn't miss Tokyo, but he isn't in love with New York either. He doesn't really feel anything, he thinks, because if he did he'd break down completely.

He sits on a ramp, glancing over a few of the people around who nod or wave in acknowledgement, lighting a cigarette and sighing quietly. Then the cigarette disappears from his lips, his eyes glancing to the side in surprise.
