We intercepted each other at the most important point in our lives and goes about our ways towards a total opposite direction, a totally different destination, just like Perpendicular Lines

********************

Utahime leaves the building with a heavy sigh. Another day, another bad news. Suddenly her stomach grumbles asking for food

"Watch what you eat", Shoko's voice rings inside her head

"Damn it, I can't even eat whatever I wanted", huffs

Utahime paces down the pedestrian walk until she comes to a stop in front of a cute cafe with a cat logo. Without reading the name, she pushes the door and marches inside

"Welcome to Cattus!", a white-haired barista peeps at his customer, welcoming her with a friendly gesture

"Are you here with your kitten?"

Utahime is a little flustered to receive such question out of nowhere. The first thing she thinks of is, this weird blue-eyed albino is a pervert!

"Sorry?"

He chuckles to see her clueless expression

"I asked if you bring your pet cat along since this is a cat cafe"

"Oh", Utahime looks around her. She doesn't notice when she walks in just now, that everyone comes with their own cats. She feels bad for misunderstanding the poor barista. "It is a cat cafe", she mumbles before looking back at the barista with the name tag, Satoru

"No, I don't bring a cat with me"

"Oh", he pauses, not sure how to continue

"Is there a problem with it?", Utahime arches her brow

"N— no, not really... but since this is a cat cafe—"

"I get it", she cuts off. "So your policy is to only serve customers who bring their cats", she finishes the sentence for Satoru

"Never mind, I can go to another cafe", Utahime keeps back her purse and is about to leave

But then...

"Wait, wait!"

She stops and turns back around

"That is not what I mean, miss. We— we treat all customers equally, haha", he fakes a laugh. "Let me take your order then", he grabs a a pen and the order book

"Hmm..", Utahime reads the menu written on the display board. "So limited choices you have here", she has to point out

"Oh, yes. That's because we have just opened"

"No wonder. I am very familiar with this street, didn't know there was a cat cafe operating", she is just saying things meant for herself. "Do you take custom order?"

"Yes, we do!", he replies eagerly

"Then I will have apple—"

"Apple", Satoru repeats as he writes it down

"— and cabbage juice"

"and cabbage juice"

"Less sugar"

"Less sugar"

"About 10% of it"

"About 10%"

"That's it"

Satoru reads the order again and again. "Apple and cabbage juice?", he glances up at Utahime, failed to conceal his frown

"Yeah. Why, you don't have that too?", she looks like about to complain
