HISAO “How well do you know her, Hisao?” “I wish I knew. Every time I think I've got a handle on her, she throws me for a loop. It's like she only reveals herself in bite-size servings.” Miki was right – the very quietest place to have lunch was to never leave at all. Everyone, including Mutou, was...

EMI I must have slept through it when he slipped out to drop off Akira and Hanako, but I do rouse just a bit when Daisuke returns to the apartment. It doesn’t take him long to get rid of the light summer clothing and climb in with me. “How are you doing this morning?” He slips an arm around me and ...

LILLY “It’s fine if you want to avoid the subject. We’ve only got a sixteen hour flight ahead of us.” I fall silent. I can hear the flow of traffic reverse. No longer are we passing cars, now they are passing us. “Dammit, I was hoping we’d have time for breakfast before we took off. It looks like t...

HISAO «No tell, motel, hotel bed If it wasn't for the sunlight I'd swear I was dead» I have to pee. That’s why I woke up, right? Where am I? Oh yeah, the ranch. I could have sworn I was alone when I went to sleep though. A three-second limb check assures me it’s Neko that’s crawled into my bed and ...

AKIRA Finally, the last piece of gear is stowed, and we are left with the problem of putting four butts in three seats. If we assume the driver needs one to himself, that leaves three of us and two seats. I’m just pondering this and other ancient mysteries when my thoughts are interrupted. “Food,” ...

DAISUKE Well, shit. Looks like I have to pony up half a month’s salary for that Stick sooner than I anticipated. At least we have six weeks until the next show, since the owner saw fit to trade tonight’s slot with our next one. I don’t know who is going to be more pressed for time, me re-learning a...

HANAKO I’m busy staring into my drink (number five? six?) when trouble arrives. “«I guess you can’t hook ‘em like you used to, you little Christmas cake. Gotta cross the fence? I suppose this is that so-called new ‘boyfriend’ you dumped me for.»” Kenichiro stands next to the table, hands on hips an...

EMI Find my vantage point. Focus. Compose. Re-focus. Wait for it… NOW! Wind, hold… and NOW! Move on. I wander behind the stage to change lenses, and this looks like as good a time as any to shoot from the stage itself – they’re totally in the zone. They shouldn’t even notice me. Ultra-wide it is th...

NEKO Son of a bitch. Why does she always have to take my bed? At school or at home, if Miki’s sleeping, chances are better than even it’ll be my bed you find her in. Now I can’t even get a private conference with Hisao. Or could I have anyhow? “I know everything that goes on around here. It’s my bu...

DANNY I corner Dice after the first set. “I smell trouble. Kenny’s already half in his cups, and he’s acting particularly nasty tonight. This might be the night. You’re the one that has to take up the slack, so start thinking of what you want to do if it comes down to it.” “Not just me, you’re goin...

AKIRA “S-So where are we going tonight? Y-You still haven’t t-told me.” Hanako looks at me through her veil of bangs as always. “I n-need to know how to d-dress.” “Just dress the way you do when we go out to shoot pool. That’s not what we’re doing, but it’s close enough for jazz.” “Oh.” She grabs a...

EMI Where did Daisuke go? The guy who I shared a pizza with, who handed me a camera worth as much as a car, who stripped down to his underwear and played guitar, he’s just… gone. Some guy who looks just like him seems to have taken his place. He’s walking around shirtless, tuning guitars and checki...

DAISUKE “Lunch is gonna be pizza and beer, it’s sort of traditional for me. You’re free to pass up the beer if you want though. I should have other drinks around, or we can make coffee, whatever. Then I’ll show you how to work with the camera, and you can practice with it if you want. It’s very ret...

NEKO “I hope you don’t mind if Miki comes to the ranch with us. She’s feeling well enough, and I think she could use some fresh air.” Hisao shrugs. “Sure, why not? She’s been kind of ‘out of it’ in class, but that’s not all that unusual. Normally she’s not like that the entire time though. It’s lik...

LILLY “I understand you’re trying to get all the lyrics, but if you would play it all the way through once, I could probably help you.” Either that or let me come back when you’re done, this is driving me crazy. I’m starting to regret offering to help Emi learn this song, and I haven’t even heard a...
