>You say your goodbyes to Orin, leave the university behind and head east.
>You find yourself near a large and expansive bookstore, simply named "Gensokyo Books". Near it is a small restaurant with an striped awning over the storefront. There a few clothing stores and a shoe store on the opposite side of the street. The streets are empty at this point in the day. A few crows perch on the awning, surveying their domain. Somewhere far off, you hear a dog barking. Obvious exists are East, West, North 1 and North 2.

>You think you recognize one of them as a transient who comes through your neighborhood every now and again. You've never gotten to know him well enough to name him.
>You approach them. They pretty clearly do not care that you're approaching, as long as you don't try to mess with them.
>You produce your Bag of Sunflower seeds, and scatter them across the sidewalk. The crows quickly swoop down on them, cawing happily and not caring very much that you're nearby.

>Go into Eats.

>You caw back at them a few times. They don't seem to be especially offended.
>You head into the restaurant. It is a small and cozy place, it a bit dingy. The smell of chicken wafts from the back of the room, where a woman with long white hair tends to a large grill. Booths line the walls, a few of the occupied by students either studying or killing time. A counter, with cracks and other signs of age, separates the grill from the rest of the restaurant. The decor is lacking, but the food smells good enough that it's hard to be upset by this.

>Yamame has been your friend for years. Nitori has proven to be pretty good to hang with. Aside from them and Orin, you really aren't too close to anyone. You've always preferred a tight circle of friends.

Local cat shelter, I think.

>You find an empty table and have a seat.
>You're pretty aware of why Satori charges rent; your half of the double is one of her main sources of income. The other one is disability, on account of her arms. She does odd jobs sometimes for money on the side, but most of the time she tends to volunteer at the animal shelter Uptown, where they don't mind that she can't work very fast.
>You have a look at the menu. You see it contains a mixture of American and Japanese foodstuffs, all of the easily grilled variety.

> I've conuslted the Scriptures, Yamae is no good, if we bring our best freind home, they'll go after our hot parent, and I don't think Satori'd like that, However, Boss/Employee end good with a bit of weirdness at the start, so I say we go for Nitori.

>....also, how long have you been feeling as if something's wrong with the world?

>You are by a window. It offers a lovely view of the side of the bookstore.
>Looking around, the only really notable person is the cook, who is presently flipping some hash browns.
>You consider your past a bit. You don't remember when you were adopted, so you must have been very young at the time. You're not sure exactly why Satori took you in, but you suspect it's because she has a maternal streak as wide as the island.
>You've known Yamame for about a decade now. You've never really made any sort of move on her, she's a little weird. But maybe you're being judgmental?
>Orin's been around as long as you can remember, and has pretty much been your best fried; occasional spat aside. You and Orin did try to get things together a few years back, and however nice it felt, it was just too weird to continue. Orin doesn't have a steady job, though sometimes when her coursework is light she'll take on temporary things. She does make up for it by being a good scavenger, which has gotten many of your furnishings on the cheap.
>You've had the feeling since you woke up this morning, strongly enough that initially it terrified you to the point of tears. It still lingers in the back of your thoughts, but doing things has helped take your mind off of it.
>While you're brooding over things, the cook approaches. "Know what you want?" she asks. You decide to go for the hash browns, eggs, and chicken combo. It's pretty affordable and filling at 7☼.

> She's our sister, for chrissakes.

> Get out them textbooks again. Our objective is to get everything bar maths and jargon out of the way.

>That's about what it broke down to, yes.
>You spend some more time with your Nuclear Physics texts, blending in with the rest of the people here pretty easily. You think you're getting back into the swing of the subject, and even decode a couple bits of jargon!
