[oh-- that's a surprise. Akira hadn't meandered over to this table to exchange numbers with Kou. he actually kind of expected they would never speak again after this. after all. . . isn't it kind of weird for a stranger to sit down at someone's coffee table and offer random advice?]

[but nonetheless, Akira can't say he's displeased with this development. he blinks a few times, mouth twitching as he pulls out his own phone. just a normal smartphone; no fancy xiphone, here]

If I'm ever in this part of the neighborhood again, I'll take you up on that offer.

[a pause]

Thanks. And I wish you the best.
