I yawn and stretch out as the sunbeams hit my eyes. Finally some nice rest, however it's about time I get up and moving. As I awaken I see Taiki with headphones on, jamming out... Pretty hard it seems like. His head was 'super bobbing' as we call it back in the West. As I get up he notices from across on his newly set up area, and gives me the rad 'call me' hand sign, swiftly taking off his headphones.

"Suhhh dude! Good morning! Well it's only morning for the next hour... Soooo wanna grab some bruuunchhh?"

"Why did you decide to come down to Shinjoku?"

Taiki looked a little off for the first time, shrugging. "No biggie. Wanted to escape for a minute!"

We took off towards the elevator and descended. Taiki had the biggest smile, and it seemed to be rubbing off on me already...
