[text] are you still alive wherever you are? how's the soul searching going? don't be too upset you're on your own because of that human holiday today.
Hiyori has managed to soujourn right into the Oita prefecture in the world of the living. She does enjoy trekking mountains at times and it makes her feel mighty to conquer them. And yet... it seems Yufuin is only reminding her of the glaringly obvious fact that she has arrived here without her husband. It is couple central.
She has forgotten how popular this place has got in recent years and curses in all the languages she's learned - including a few in mandarin and Korean for the kicks.
It's also... painfully obvious what day it is today. The scent of chrysanthemum sake lingers a little in the muggy air. She recalls how it was, pouring him sake on a day like this. He'd enjoy it with dinner whilst his eyes perused some document or other. She sighs heavily, glancing at the text that Stark has sent her way.
She is touched. She does not think arrancar would care that much. He was aloof and cool. He never mentioned her separation from her husband or questioned her actions. Swinging between depression to hopefulness.
She had almost thought the message could be from Shinji. But... who was she kidding?
[Stark] Do ya think I could be killed? I'm immortal.
[Stark] I haven't really found anything- send me a bucket ta vomit. There's too many damn happy couples here.
[Stark] Should I use this opportunity to research normal couple behaviour? Take a few notes on how normal, cute girls act?
[Stark] Thanks for checking up on me.
[Stark] Hope yer not having fun at all without me. I hope you're absolutely miserable and want me home really quickly.
[Stark] K, that's me projecting. Anyway- how's your job going? How many girls have given you their number? B)
