Akutagawa was seated in a booth of a popular café in the city. His fingers tapped along the table as he waited to be served.

His sunglasses draped just below his eyes, and his black turtleneck was loose around him. The sun threatened to blind his eyes as he watched passerby’s through the window.

“What a slow café…” Akutagawa mumbled under his breath with impatience. “It’s not even busy.”
