He didn't know why he kept coming back to this coffee shop, didn't know what drew him here, but he couldn't shake the nagging feeling that something here was important.

He'd drank so much coffee over the past week that it was starting to affect his sleep schedule, and therefore affecting his work as an investigator. Akira was already on his ass about it, so he really should stop, but he couldn't help it. That constant voice in his head refused to stop.

He walked into :Re once again, the soft jingle of the bell above the door ringing in his ears and putting him in a state of ease.

The purple haired woman behind the counter looked up, her fringe covering one of her eyes, but he could tell she looked a little exasperated.

She sent a teasing smile his way and leaned against the counter.

"She's not here today, if that's why you're here."

Haise's shoulders sagged in disappointment.

Okay, maybe he knew one of the reasons why he kept coming by all week.

That reason being the cute waitress who he cried Infront of, who was nothing but calm and understanding when she had given him a napkin to wipe his tears.

He swore up and down that he had seen her somewhere before. It was like his mind was almost there, on the brink of remembering, but every time he got close, his head started to pound the same way it did whenever he tried to remember things from his past.

But, dammit, Haise wasn't anything if not determined.

Taking a breath through the nose, Haise smiled at the woman who was still smirking that teasing smile.

"That's Okay. Um, can I get a black coffee to go, then?"

She nodded, turning around to start preparing his drink.

Haise took that moment to look around, noticing a distinct lack of customers, other than the man sleeping at one of the tables with a hood pulled up over his head. He was always here when Haise came by.

"So, I guess it's been slow today?" He asked, trying to make conversation as to not keep the room awkward while his coffee was made.

The woman nodded, stepping away from the coffee pot as the liquid dripped into it.

"Yeah, you're actually our first customer since about 10:00 this morning. It's always slow on Friday around this time, which is why Y/N isn't working today."

Haise nodded, leaning against his side of the counter.

"I'm that obvious, huh?"

She shrugged, another teasing smile playing at her lips. "Little bit."

That made him flush a bit. He wasn't too experienced when it came to dating, or asking someone out, as far as he knew. The last crush he remembered having was a hallway crush on another investigator. That had been an awkward three weeks.

He never did get his name now that he thought about it.

Whatever, it wasn't important anymore. The man most definitely had a wife now, if he remembered correctly.

He returned his focus back to the woman behind the counter, who he still didn't know the name of.

"I just can't shake the feeling that I know her, y'know? Do you know anything about that? Maybe?"
