Who: Noriko and Keiichi What: A few questions. Where: Soba Station 77, Noodle Alley When: After school, sometime after Seiji left his "gift" Why: Nori needs to get out more.
With the infinite calm and grace of a dove, minus most of the unassuming innocence, Noriko walked to Soba Station 77. He had already gone home after school and changed out of his uniform into a dress more appropriate for his impending activities. Simple, elegant, and clean, like a single lily, or so he liked to think. It was certainly enough to turn the heads of more than a few students along the pedestrian venue, as well as a few people older than students.
Full of the pride born of impressing others, he located the restaurant and took a seat at the bar. SS77 was a hip, new location, a little jarring against the worn and greasy ramen joints on either side of it, full of young couples and hipsters enjoying buckwheat noodles. After admiring this for a few minutes, Noriko shooed a waitress away with an "I'm waiting for somebody" and began to idly toy with his purse. Now all he needed was for Keiichi to arrive.
