Krist sits down alone in a cafe while reading the newspaper, he trying to find a job to save his money. He has a few options for a job application since he's only got some skill in music, which is can only look for a job in Pub or Night Cafe for a start. Also in a small town like this, no one even recognize him as a star before, since his popularity slowly faded. He slurps the coffee in front of him and sighs for a second before he looks at someone he feels familiar with.

He lift his cup of coffee, fold his newspaper and move to another seat in the very corner of the cafe, and told the waiter to bring his breakfast to that table. Singto seat alone at the table and focused on his drink.

"Well, I thought you go to work, what are you doing here?" Krist greets him.

"How can you find me here?" Singto asked curiously.

"I saw you a moment ago sitting alone in the corner. Have you been here in a long time?"

"Not really, about an hour ago, I didn't see you come in, probably I didn't put so much attention."

"So what are you doing here?"

"Have a breakfast..."

A waiter came to interrupt their conversation and put a plate of sandwiches in front of Krist. "This is your order, sir. Do you need something else?"

"No, I don't, thank you..." Krist replied in short. "Do you want to order something since you only drink coffee.." Krist asked the guy in front of him.

"Excuse me, Sir? Do you talking to me?" the waiter asked in confusion.

Krist turns his head to him and looking in confused. "Sorry? Do I face you when I'm talking?"

"But, nobody's here but me..." the waiter talk back. "Are you alright, Sir?"

"What?"

"I think he can't see me..." Singto adds. Krist then realizes something and nods slowly his face is red because of shyness, so he faces the waiter and apologizes.

"Sorry, I like talking to myself lately, you can go back to your post, and I've enough. Thank you."

As the waiter left, Krist stared at Singto in silence. "You're like a ghost in my presence, how come only me who able to see you?" he whispers.

"How do I know?"

"Are the people in your time also can't see my presence?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you also look like talking with a ghost in your time, don't you?"

"Our time is different, don't you remember? I don't feel like I'm talking with a ghost. And I don't care how the other look at me.."

"Really? You don't care if people thought you're crazy by talking alone?" Krist is curious.

"No one could see me, but you. So why should I care?"

Krist doesn't understand what Singto means but he is lazy to ask further seems the guy only makes him more confused.

"I wonder what time we are now. How do I know we are in the present or past? Seems like only you who exist in my time, I don't have any idea about your past if you don't mind telling me..."

"I used to come here every day to drink a coffee.  And I don't think it's important to know whether I am in the present or past. But I already have theory in my head."

"What do you mean?"

"You know how can meet up in this place without having our minds connecting?" Krist shakes his head slowly.
