A faint laughter ecaped the man’s lips as he walked down the lighted street with two older guys on each of his side. Cigarette smoke sneaking through his nostrils as he turned in a spot to look at his friends while walking backwards. Maybe he didn’t act like an idol should but it didn’t really matter at that point, his image had already been damaged so at least now he could be himself.

Even though he was enjoying himself like that his eyes kept scanning the space around them, a habit he couldn’t get rid of. At some point his gaze fell on a silhouette of a woman locking a door to...a library? was it a library? Squinting his eyes he stopped to see the sign better before looking back at the woman. Tilting his head he watched her as she made sure the door had been locked properly but once she began to walk away he stopped his friends and quickly made his way towards her. He wasn’t sure why he had done that, was it his peculiar personality acting up or was it the fact that he found the woman to be increadibly beautiful? 

He hadn’t been much of a gentelman in the past but with all the job related drama he wasn’t even thinking of ‘having fun’, no, all he actually wanted in his life at that moment were friends who could support him. Sure he had some friends but he could never open up in front of them or be close with them, they just weren’t those kind of people.

                                      There was something about the smell of books that reminded Hiro of his family. The memories alone were few and rare ; centuries of time traveling having it's negative effect on him. But something about books ; old and new alike made him feel at home. Made the memories of his parent's features come to light. He always came to the brink of remembering before it would slip away entirely. If only he could remember where he came from , he could easily solve the problem on his own. Because of this , he found himself tucked away in a corner of a local library , reading about different centuries and cultures attempting to find anything that would give him his own clues. Still he searched , rarely finding anything that scratched the surface.

He moves to the front desk , a small scrap of paper between his fingers as he stopped before the woman working there. ❛ Excuse me, do you have this book ? ❜

Alex frowned in the slightest and tried to think a bit more but nothing was coming to mind. 『Oh please do tell me. You know I am quite terrible when it comes to guessing.』

Alex started at the female with wide eyes and then quickly looked around to make sure no one else heard her. 『I do not think that a young maiden such as yourself should be saying such things out loud..』

Alex hummed but quickly shook her head. 『I think that this puppy will upset my two cats at my home and I do not want such a thing. Perhaps you should choose a puppy?』
