Gale, Aquila and Tomasi are standing outside of the hospital when a stranger accidentally bumps into Gale, he's about 5'8", slicked back brown hair, a slight tan, deep red eyes, wearing a suit with his hands tucked into his pockets and a toothpick in his mouth, as Gale turns to the stranger who bumped into him their eyes meet, the stranger has a certain innocence to his eyes "Oh sorry sorr-" The stranger catches sight of Gales eye and the purple hue of the scar, the strangers expression goes from apologetic to shock and confusion in an instant. "Dude? Why are you just standing there?" Tomasi asks as the stranger just stares at Gale in confusion, The stranger seemingly snaps back into reality. "Oh yeah sorry for this.." A worried expression appears on his face and he walks away in a hurry. "What was up with that dude?" Tomasi asks. "I have no clue." Aquila looks at Gale who is watching the stranger walk away still. "Odd guy." Tomasi says and shrugs it off. "Wanna go and get something to eat?" Tomasi asks Gale, trying to get a response out of him. "Uh yeah sure." Gale says, still confused by the interaction with the suspicious stranger, Aquila and Tomasi look at each other before Gale starts walking towards the crosswalk nearby.

They arrive at a restaurant named "Randall steakhouse", they all get brought to a table for 4 but with one seat empty, Gale and Aquila on one side with Tomasi on the other on Gales side. They get past their menus and after a bit of looking Gale looks up at Tomasi. "I'm going to get the steak, Any ideas what you guys want?" Gale asks. "Uh, I think I'll get the Garlic Alfredo." Aquila says while still looking down at his menu. "I'll just get some water, I'm not really hungry." Tomasi says but his stomach growls almost immediately after saying that, causing Aquila to giggle. "Come on, just get something Tomasi. It's on me." Gale smiles and Tomasi blushes due to the embarrassment. "Fine, I'll just get the Salad." Tomasi says still a bit embarrassed but Gale looks at him with a face that just says "Really?" causing Tomasi to turn red again. "I-I'll get the Baked potato then... with a salad." Gale just sighs and moves past it. 

The waiter eventually coming around and ordering but in the middle of ordering there's a disturbance with a lady yelling to see the manager. "I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW I'M ALLERGIC TO SHRIMP, GET YOUR MANAGER IMMEDIATELY!" The lady screams at the waiter, a man then walks out of the backroom, blonde slicked up hair, leather coat with a green shirt underneath and a pair of sunglasses, as he struts out with a grin on his face ready to deal with the human disturbance, the lady seemingly has a change of heart, from anger to despair as she's ready to plead with the manager. "Please sir, your staff put shrimp in my food and I'm allergic. I was debating calling the cops but I can possibly reconsider.." The womens voice goes from sounding like she's about to cry to mischievous, The manager crosses his arms. "Look lady, there won't be any handouts for scum like you, go take your whiny ass out of my steakhouse and take up another person's time." The lady's face turns red and she starts yelling but it's almost gibberish, Aquila turns to the waiter. "Who is that man?" The waiter's eyes are not moving from the disturbance happening. "That's Jay, the owner of this steakhouse, he hates dealing with people like this." Jay walks towards the Lady and looks down at her throwing a tantrum, his sunglasses not moving in the slightest.

"I'll ask one more time.. Get.. out"

Jay says with an angered look, the lady runs out of the building sobbing. "Good now that she's gone, I can do the interview in peace, Just gotta wait for him to show up..." The stranger from earlier walks through the door seeing Jay immediately. "Oh you must be the one for the interview, you're a little too dressed up but that's okay" Jay smirks. "Oh sorry sir, didn't know how formal I was supposed to be.." Gale Immediately notices the stranger from earlier, intentionally trying to listen in to possibly hear his name, Jay puts his hand on the stranger's back. "Come on to my office, we can do the interview there." Jay and the stranger walk away, Gale noticing Jay's weirdly cartoon movements. "Wasn't that the same guy from earlier?" Aquila looks at Gale. "Yeah, two times in one day we've run into him, how odd." Tomasi adds on, Gale watching as they walk into Jay's office. "Gale? You alright? You keep going silent." Tomasi asks Gale with a concerned expression. "Y-yeah I'm fine sorry, just something about that stranger is so weird to me." Gale says still looking at where the stranger was before, Aquila and Tomasi look at each-other again. "Just forget it, it was probably just a coincidence, I think that's our food coming anyways." The waiter comes back with their foods, Gale eating faster than Tomasi and Aquila, once they finish their foods the waiter comes with the check and Gale pays for it, eventually they stand up and push their chairs in before they see Jay walking the stranger out of his office, the stranger meets Gale's gaze again and he freezes up and walks into somebody, a purple stone dropping from his pocket catching Gale's attention causing his heart to drop in an instant. The stranger sees Gale's expression and picks up the stone and runs out of the building, Gale walks over and sees The stranger has already fled, Jay turns around to go back into his office before Gale comes up behind him. "What are you doing sneaking up on me fool?" Jay turns to Gale with a serious expression. "Hey sorry, who was that guy you just had an interview with?" Gale asks him and Tomasi with Aquila come up behind Gale as he asks, Jay looks up at Gale.

"Oh him? His name is Ryuma."
