[whatever is on Kou's mind? Akira is fairly certain that a quiet evening sitting by the fishing reservoirs of Ichigaya will help him cope. he almost says, "let me know how it goes," but. I mean. . . they're still strangers, and there's no way for either of them to track each other down after this meeting, is there?]
I hope you find it as peaceful as I do, then.
[heh]
A bit of advice: go at night. It's cheaper than going during the daytime.
[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.

[Kou pauses, tilting his head.]
I guess it wasn't the first hobby I expected, but it does sound pretty peaceful.
... Well, maybe that'll be my first stop then.

[Kou nods, resting his chin on his hand, elbow on the table.]
Thanks. Seriously... you didn't have to give me such a thoughtful answer.
no subject
You looked like you needed a pick-me-up.
Ah. . . sorry for being nosy. But thanks for humoring me, too.
no subject
Pretty sure I'm the one who should be apologizing for being so rude.
... Thanks. I guess I just didn't realize that I really did need someone to talk to.
no subject
Anytime.
[and with that. . . he bends down to scoop his bag off of the ground]
Anyway. . . I should get going. But it was nice to meet you, Tokisaka-san.
no subject
Yeah. See you around, Kurusu. If you're ever in the neighborhood... wait, here.
[He tugs out his Xiphone.]
Let's exchange IDs. I'll show you around if you come back here--there're some cool places to see off the beaten path.
[And as far as he's concerned, he's just returning the favor for what Akira did for him today.]

[a pause]
Thanks. And I wish you the best.

So it's fine.]
... Yeah. Thanks. Take care of yourself too.
[And with that and a last wave, Kou turns his attention back to his coffee--but he does feel a bit lighter than he did before.
Huh.]
