Realization  of  magical  abilities  and  touch  of  irony  sense  of  the  person  complicated  him  hadn’t  been  immediate  :  it  was  another  part  of  magic,  reflecting  somewhere  his  own  existence,  he  didn’t  expected  to  cross  around  …  and  could  hardly  believe  in  some  kind  of  coincidence,  as  an  connection  must  been  created  between  them  —  of  that  gentle  breaking  apart  of  an  soul  taking  various  paths.  Inside  an  immediate  moment,  memories  from  ages  ago  recollected  gently  inside  an  expression  untouched  by  time.  Clow  Reed.  He  never  get  the  chance  to  know  personally  lot  about  the  guy,  or  even  personally  met  him  (  until  now,  somewhere  ),  and  received  during  previous  instants  few  fragmented  knoweldge,  few  fragmented  portions  of  circumstances.  Oh,  he  cannot  forget  how  Yuuko-san  referring  him  as  a  evil  guy  decades  before,  meanwhile  he  was  getting  confused  and  intriguedby  strange  magical  objects  offered  in  compensation.  There  was  also  that  consciousness  of  an  existence  in  middle  of  crossroads  of  dimensions,  where  there  was  hardly  an  ending  to  his  magical  powers,  able  to  awakening  inside  most  uncommon  places,  and  be  associated  towards  that  domain  of  wishes.  His  only  came  with  consequences,  where  compensation  could  hardly  been  reached  or  with  difficulty,  involving  sacrifices  and  cruel  circumstances  on  the  way.  Though,  inside  an  gentle  seriousness  expression  pondering  his  words,  the  apparent  boy  didn’t  followed  same  mistakes  of  his  predecessor.    ❝  Height  of  irony  I  suppose,  especially  when  I’m  more  or  less  a  consequence  of  his  actions.    ❞  He  rarely  exposed  openly  reality  over  his  experience,  to  been  another  side  presented  of  another  person.  To  have  choose  an  existence  where  he  would  remain  inside  one  single  place,  removed  of  the  outside  world,  focusing  his  entire  existence  to  be  fair  inside  wishes  realizations  and  keep  alive  the  witch  who  transformed  his  existence,  for  never  forget  about  her,  for  always  be  with  her  …  when  compassionate  and  worried  heart  desired  happiness  of  other  side  of  coin,  the  one  fated  to  always  travelling,  the  other  himself  who  suffered  many  sacrifices  and  suffering  on  his  path.  There  was  an  amused  smile.    ❝  I  appreciate  the  compliment  coming  from  your  lips.  My  legitimacy  is  only  honored.  Sadly,  Yuuko-san  only  spoke  about  some  evil  guy  sometimes,  when  I  understood  there  had  been  something  between  them  since  they  planned  something  together,  but  never  gave  me  full  story.  I  discovered  an  portion  of  it,  concerning  aftermatch  of  his  disappearance  at  my  expense,  when  I  was  going  to  disappear.    ❞

Welcoming  new  experiences  had  been  the  most  presented  advice.  Surely,  he  wasn't  going  to  complain  neither  to  miss  such  opportunities  of  pleasant  moment  together  ---  nevertheless,  he  seemed  hesitating  between  testing  to  put  one  feet  inside  the  water  at  some  point  or  just  focusing  over  appreciation  of  the  sunlight  for  the  moment.  For  play  games  in  which  depending  which  one  he  would  try  understanding  unexplained  rules  or  even  preparing  a  meal  that  will  be  shared  with  other  people,  there  will  be  no  hesitation  …  however  experiencing  his  own  desires  and  own  explorations  remained  apparently  difficult,  even  when  someone  was  around  him,  even  when  he  was  inside  an  safe  landscape.  It  wasn't  concerning  ghosts.  It  wasn't  concerning  even  impression  he  could  bring  to  Sakamoto-kun.  It  was  just  something  who  making  him  considering  silently  inside  discreete  thoughtfulness  what  he  wanted  to  do  for  himself,  alone,  with  no  one  to  please,  with  no  one  to  bring  all  his  attention  towards  …  Silent  observation  resonated  inside  how  Sakamoto-kun  didn't  wasted  any  time,  meanwhile  he  was  remaining  here,  watching,  troubled  to  have  no  chores  to  do!  Habit  to  be  around  people  and  always  having  his  perspective  attached  to  them  created  an  pleasant  mental  barrier  who  allowing  him  to  get  distracted  of  his  own  troubles,  or  even  pretending  previous  loneliness  never  had  been  present,  when  nothing  could  be  wrong  about  him,  when  nothing  had  to  troubling  other  with  his  presence  …  though,  compared  to  his  misunderstanding  over  himself,  even  back  inside  that  loneliness,  he  found  strategies  not  to  be  alone  with  himself  and  his  wishes,  desires  and  dreams  …

He  wasn't  really  living  for  himself,  wasn't  he  ?  Wasn't  something  he  had  been  trying  to  hide  so  hard  every  day  at  school,  wasn't  something  Yuuko-san  had  tried  to  explain  to  him  ?  Remembering  that  single  knoweldge  that  himself  internally  knew.  Slowly,  deep  breath  was  taken  as  there  was  no  desire  to  pushing  troubling  comments  in  middle  of  such  a  nice  atmosphere  !  He  was  breathing  opportunities  of  a  good  time  every  time  he  found  one,  which  was  true,  which  remained  true  !  He  simply  cannot  helped  to  thoughtfully  think  over  people  he  cared  about.  He  wanted  bring  good  memories  to  his  friends,  had  to  think  about  what  kind  of  gift  he  could  give  to  Yuuko-san  (where  she  would  want  some  drinks  and  foods  but  would  have  to  consider  she  would  want  more  of  it!),  and  some  thoughts  were  brought  over  an  distant  friendship  in  which  he  hoped,  inside  world  he  was  in,  he  was  fine  …  These  emotional  waves  passing  within  his  body  without  too  much  explanations  will  pass,  as  always  they  had  always  passed,  as  he  regretted  to  had  feeling  it  during  such  an  pleasant  moment.  ❝  With  that,  life  is  always  brigther  and  never  stop  to  shine  !  "  He  expressed  with  enthousiasm.  ❝  I  might  try  the  water  later,  been  long  time  I  have  been  on  it,  besides,  it's  an  beach,  it's  the  point  !  I  will  content  myself  for  a  while  to  enjoy  the  sunlight  !  It  would  appease  my  brain  !  "  Decision  was  finally  made,  as  hope  concerning  his  expression  and  the  slight  sadness  within  his  ocean  eyes  won't  be  noticed  right  away.  At  the  moment,  he  would  have  preferred  be  distracted  by  a  ghost  or  sensing  one  than  suddently  realizing  trouble  was  on  himself.

Brigthness  once  more  exposed  to  the  notion  of  his  other  friends.  Oh,  he  rarely  spoke  about  them  with  him,  after  all,  though  himself  was  curious  about  his  other  friends  he  have  !  ❝  Not  all  of  them.  I  always  and  often  find  myself  with  one  of  my  comrade,  from  whom  every  time  I  haven't  asked  for  anything  but  who  always  gets  in  my  way,  although  our  moments  together  are…  something.  Another  one  would  have  loved  follow  me  there  but  well,  she  is  currently  busy,  and  I  won't  probably  know  what  she  had  been  doing  !  There  is  Kunogi-chan  !  I  would  have  loved  Kunogi-chan  come  with  me,  but  visibly,  she  couldn't  for  be  temporary  away  …  I  would  have  loved  so  much  present  her  to  you  !  ❞  Excitement  exposed  inside  his  last  sentenes,  as  mention  of  Doumeki  bored  him,  and  when  he  was  troubled  over  his  own  Yuuko-chan  reference.  She  would  have  probably  said  something  keep  him  thinking  !  ❝  What  about  yours  ?  ❞  He  asked  slowly.  ❝  I'm  pretty  sure  your  friends,  if  they  could  come,  won't  have  hesitating  neither  !  ❞  He  exposed  slowly.  ❝  Would  love  to  met  them  too  !  ❞  Though  he  didn't  know  what  kind  of  impression  he  would  made.  Maybe,  inside  his  gaze,  his  desire  to  appreciating  a  lot  the  sunlight  exposed,  he  accepted  with  a  nod  the  sunblock.  ❝  It  will  be  better  for  enjoy  the  sun  without  burn.  ❞  He  joked  in  return.  There  was  another  amusement  following  his  sentences.  ❝  I  can't  help  myself  to  think  about  something  I  can  taste  later  …  or  some  gifts  to  offer  too.  ❞  He  admitted  in  return,  as  he  was  searching  distractions  all  around.  Once  focused  over  simply  sunlight  appreciation  and  safety  of  Ruji-kun,  his  thoughts  would  escaping  towards  Sakura-chan  and  Syaoran-kun  …  Oh,  he  wanted  offering  them  something.  Some  remembrance,  some  gift  without  too  much  compensation.  An  moment  of  temporary  worry  in  which  he  swallowed  back  as  his  previous  immediate  realization  upon  himself.  ❝  There  is  something  relaxing  about  tea~  Even  if  it's  terribly  hot,  for  the  night,  it  will  be  perfect  !  There  must  be  something  icy  to  eat  somewhere  though  !  ❞  He  appreciated  his  strange  idea  wasn't  rejected,  when  he  blinked  in  front  of  the  appreciation  …  and  showed  his  joy  with  nice  gestures  of  excitement.  ❝  Looooove  that  !  Promise,  you  will  enjoy  all  the  sun  and  the  sea  we  came  for  just  later  !  If  you  want  something,  don't  hesitate  me  to  tell  me  !  In  return,  I  would  love  to  show  my  gratitude  and  it  will  help  make  this  day  better  !  ❞

He had allowed his question to linger in the air whilst he continued to rub sunblock into every nook and cranny of his body that he could find - along his arms, all across his torso, the parts of his legs that weren't covered by his swimming trunks. He'd even tried to clumsily rub some along his back although that proved to be a little more tricky. While focusing on this did give him the nice bonus of ensuring he would be thoroughly protected from the sun's rays, it also gave his companion some room to decide if his suggestion sounded acceptable - it had just been just that, after all, and if his companion wanted to wait or to do something else than he wouldn't take any offence to that - he had gone all the way here to have fun after all!

"That's the best way to do it," He was quick to agree with that - it was better to live in the moment and to enjoy it for what it was, not needlessly complicate it. "Are your friends pretty busy, though?" Maybe with work or school? Come to think of it, he had never really thought to ask about his friends and now that the thought had actually occurred to him, he was actually pretty curious! There was always something nice about hearing about someone else 's friends, even if he didn't know them, personally. "You want to borrow this sunblock? Might help with enjoying the sun," He joked, now holding out the tube of sunblock, his body covered in a faint white streak as he had thoroughly lathered himself with the stuff. "Tea, huh...? So, even on a day like this, you want a hot drink?" He had to admit, there was something strangely admirable about that, albeit he wasn't sure if any vendors around here would be selling tea. "Why don't we walk around, keep our eyes out for a vendor? Surely there's gotta be one selling tea, right? Plus, in the meantime you can tell me about what tea flavours you like!"

2. L for LOVE. CLAMP draws the forms of love.

The artwork in this area are divided in 8 types of love seen throught CLAMP's manga.

3. A for ADVENTURE. CLAMP weaves the stories of adventure.

350 manuscripts from 6 action-packed manga series: RG Veda, Tokyo Babylon, X/1999, Magic Knight Rayearth, Cardcaptor Sakura, and Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE.

The second room focuses on the power of words spun by CLAMP, exhibiting quotes form their works on the walls. Visitors can also pull one phrase sticker from the Phrase Box from CLAMP and take it home, or stick it to a wall in the room. There are 120 different phrases to pull.

6. IMAGINATION

Timeline of 35 years of creative work, from 1989 to 2024, featuring manga volumes, magazine issues, and more.

An installation in the center of the room also features quotes from a new interview with the four women specially for this event.

TCM Day 23: Shigatsu Tsuitachi Co. LTD

Every year on April 1st, a strange store would appear somewhere in the bustling streets of Tokyo. The shop wasn’t always the same thing - one year it was a florist shop, the next year it was a stationery store. Everyone who noticed it swore the store wasn’t there the previous day, and if you tried to find it again on April 2nd, it would have vanished as though it never existed in the first place.

Nobody knew much about the strange store that existed for only a single day and that never appeared in the same location twice, but one boy made it his mission to find it every year.

Vampire teen Subaru was looking for someone. And for some reason Seishirou always appeared and disappeared with the Shigatsu Tsuitachi store.

His twin brother Kamui thought he was stupid and that Subaru should just dump the bastard, but he always tagged along. He claimed it was for Subaru’s protection.

So when the clock struck midnight and it became April 1st, they began their search. Like every year, Kamui hoped they wouldn’t find the store. But like every year, they did.

Kamui was the one who spotted the cute little cafe nestled between a Korean barbecue place and a bookstore. It was morning rush hour, and with the amount of foot traffic Kamui almost didn’t see the small sign out front.

Shigatsu Tsuitachi Cafe! (Cats coming soon!)

He knew Subaru hadn’t seen it. Kamui didn’t want to point it out. That guy was no good, and Subaru was better off without him. But he worried that if he didn’t tell Subaru and Subaru found out later, he would be angry. Or worse, sink into a deep depression like the first time that guy disappeared.

Kamui didn’t want that.

So he stopped Subaru with a tap on the arm and pointed.

It took a second for Subaru to see what Kamui was pointing at. When he did, his blue eyes lit up. The next instant his face went white with dread as he realized that now that he had found the store, he would have to go in.

It was the same every year. He was good at the anticipation, the planning, the looking up vacant storefronts to guess where the store might pop up this year and creating a search pattern based on it. But when the actual moment came, his natural shyness and anxiety caught up with him. After all, it had been an entire year since he last saw Seishirou. Maybe he wouldn’t want to see Subaru.

Maybe he’d have forgotten Subaru entirely.

But Subaru wanted to see him.

So Subaru squared his shoulders and crossed at the light. When he pushed the cafe door open, Kamui was right on his heels. A little bell tinkled overhead, announcing their entry, and Subaru’s nose was hit with the strong scents of flowers, baked goods, and tea.

“Welcome!” a cheery voice called as Subaru’s vampire eyes adjusted to the brighter artificial light. “Oh, it’s Subaru-san and Kamui-san! Long time no see!”

“Good morning, Sakura-san,” Subaru said shyly. Last year she had been dressed in a simple black uniform, but today she was wearing a frilly white apron over a ruffled pink dress with a big white bow at the throat to match the cutesy decor of the cafe. If Subaru had to guess, he would have put her at fourteen years old. But like him, the years didn’t seem to touch her.

It was the same for the others who worked at this mysterious store.

Subaru looked around while Sakura-san guided them to a table, allowing Kamui to pass him. The cafe’s interior matched Sakura-san’s fluffy pink and white aesthetic. The other server, Syaoran, was dressed in a pink button up shirt with a grey vest and trousers. His tie was white, like Sakura-san’s bow. He was serving some faces that Subaru recognized from previous years, and he waved to Ryuu-ou and Yuzuriha, who both waved back enthusiastically.

But Seishirou was nowhere in sight.

Subaru’s spirits plummeted and he stared at the lacy tablecloth as Sakura-san handed out the menus. “Just call me once you’re ready to order!” she said, and flitted away to welcome the next customers.

As soon as she was gone, Kamui kicked Subaru under the table. Subaru looked over at him in surprise. Kamui was leaning back in his chair with his arms crossed over his chest, his expression both bored and annoyed.

“Don’t sulk yet,” Kamui said. “They’ve got to have a kitchen in this place, right? Maybe that guy is back there.”

Reassured, Subaru smiled. “You’re right,” he said. He couldn’t give up hope yet. It was too soon.

A middle-aged woman sitting nearby had ordered a full-size cake for herself. As she moved to cut a piece, the cake exploded. Kamui and Subaru both flinched as gobs of icing splattered their table.

The woman screamed in surprise as a round white creature burst from the cake. “Hi! I’m Mokona! ‘Nice to meet you’ shake!” the rabbit-like creature cheered as it held out a paw to the woman, who screamed again.

“What is the meaning of this!” she yelled at Syaoran.

“What is the meaning of this!” Mokona echoed in a sing-song voice. Her chant was picked up by the other Mokona, identical except for colour. The pair held hands and continued to chant as they danced in a circle around the ruined cake.

“Why was there an animal in my cake?” the woman demanded.

Syaoran was beginning to look flustered. “I- but, that’s what you ordered,” he said.

The woman laid into him. “I did not! Who would order an animal in a cake? This is disgusting!”

People were staring. Sakura-san was clutching her stack of menus to her chest and staring at Syaoran like she wanted to help him, but she had just been called over to take an order for a big table.

As the woman continued to shout, Syaoran’s identical twin brother Tsubasa slipped out of the kitchen in a chef’s outfit. Tsubasa came to stand behind Syaoran and put a supportive hand on his shoulder. He was smiling, but Subaru could see the anger simmering underneath. Or maybe he just knew it was there when it wasn’t visible. After all, he too had a protective twin brother.

“Ma’am, you ordered the Birthday Surprise. Is that right?” Tsubasa smoothly interrupted the woman’s tirade.

“Yes, I-” the woman began, turning to rip into her new target.

“Well, it clearly states in the menu,” Tsubasa said, taking the menu off the woman’s table and flipping to the correct page, “That Mokona will leap out of the cake to sing happy birthday to you. By ordering this cake you agreed to that.”

“You agreed!” the Mokonas chanted, continuing their dance in the opposite direction. “You agreed! You agreed!”

The woman sputtered. The next thing that came out of her mouth was, “Bring me your manager!”

Syaoran and Tsubasa exchanged a look. Syaoran still looked nervous, but Tsubasa didn’t leave him. Tsubasa raised his voice. “Kimihiro!”

Watanuki stuck his head out of the kitchen. “Yeah?” He was related to Tsubasa and Syaoran somehow, but Subaru wasn’t sure of the exact link.

“Please ask Sakura-chan to come out when she has a minute.”

Subaru was distracted from what happened next by the tinkling of the bell over the door. It was Seishirou, and he was carrying a large crate.

Subaru stood up so fast he almost knocked his chair over. “Seishirou-san!”

Seishirou peered at Subaru over his glasses, and Subaru’s heart rate picked up. Nerves. He was oblivious to everyone except Seishirou. He was even oblivious to the low rumbling growl coming from Kamui.

There was a beat before Seishirou smiled during which Subaru’s anxiety nearly sent him through the ceiling. “Subaru! How are you?” Seishirou asked. He set the crate on a nearby unoccupied table. The crate was making noise. There was something inside, something alive. Possibly several somethings.

“I’m well,” Subaru said, flushing with pleasure. “It’s been a long time. Have you been well?”

“Hm. Well enough, I suppose,” Seishirou replied.

Kamui had stopped growling and was squinting suspiciously at the crate. There were definitely several somethings moving around in there. “What’s in the crate?” Kamui asked.

“Cats. For the cat cafe,” Seishirou said.

Kamui and Subaru both blinked, then looked back at the crate.

It was a very big crate.

“How many cats?” Subaru asked at the same time Kamui said, “Must be some large cats.”

Whatever Seishirou’s response was going to be was interrupted by a shriek so high and shrill that the cats in the crate went silent.

“Is this a joke?!”

The three stopped their conversation and turned. The drama on the other end of the store was still playing out. The woman who had demanded the manager had finally got her, but still wasn’t happy.

The manager of Shigatsu Tsuitachi was Sakura-chan, who bore an uncanny resemblance to Sakura-san. She also appeared to be ten years old. This seemed to be what the woman was upset about now.

“I’m the owner of this store,” Sakura-chan said with her characteristic bright smile. “I understand that you had some concerns about a cake?”

The woman sputtered with rage. “The owner! A child like you?” she snapped. “You think I’m an idiot?” She grabbed Sakura-chan by the arm and pulled.

Sakura-san gasped and dropped her menus, starting forward to rescue her boss. Both Tsubasa and Syaoran were moving in as well, but Seishirou moved with uncanny speed. He ripped the woman’s hand off Sakura-chan and moved between them. He was still smiling, but it had gone from benign to threatening in a mere instant.

“Boss, should I escort her out?” he asked without turning to Sakura-chan.

“Yes, please, Sei-san,” she replied. Syaoran and Tsubasa clustered around her, but she waved them off, insisting that she was all right.

After the woman was thrown out the front door and seemed unable to get back in, the cafe staff gathered around the crate. “So these are the cats?” Sakura-chan asked, looking up at Seishirou.

“Indeed.” His smile was back to being benign, but Subaru didn’t think anyone would forget how he had just thrown a woman across the entire store and out the door.

“Where did you get them?” Watanuki asked.  He was trying to peek through one of the air holes, and jerked back when he got a hiss in response.

“Oh, here and there.”

“Here and there?” Tsubasa was as suspicious of Seishirou as Kamui always was, which meant he was Kamui’s favourite.

Sakura-chan didn’t seem to mind the questionable origins of the cats. “Well, please open the crate and we’ll take a look at them,” she said.

“Of course.” Seishirou pried the top of the crate off with a crowbar. Out spilled at least a dozen cats, eager to be free from the box they had been forced into.

A snarl came from the crate.

They stared.

“Is that a mountain lion?” Watanuki demanded. He backed away from the crate, hands up as if that would somehow fend it off.

“It is, technically, a cat,” Seishirou replied.

“Oh Sei-san,” Sakura-chan sighed. “I think you should put that one back.”

“All right, Boss.” If he was disappointed, it didn’t show.

The mountain lion disappeared fast. Disturbingly fast. Kamui kept looking at Seishirou like he thought Seishirou had taken it out to the alley and killed it. Or set it loose in the middle of Tokyo. Subaru wasn’t entirely sure that he hadn’t.

Sakura-san returned to their table with an apologetic smile. “Sorry for the wait. Are you ready to order?” she asked. 

Subaru hadn’t even glanced at the menu. “Um.”

“I’ll have the cherry blossom tea and strawberry chiffon cake,” Kamui said, and Subaru blinked. He hadn’t thought that Kamui had looked at the menu either, but he must have because Sakura-san was smiling and taking it from him. “And you, Subaru-san?”

“I’ll have the same,” Subaru said, too embarrassed to ask her to give him another minute.

The regular house cats were running and playing through the store. Ryuu-ou sat on the floor and was immediately mauled. He laughed as he disappeared under the swarm of cats. Rather than helping him, his friend Yuzuriha was snapping photos with her cell phone and announcing that she’d show them to Souma later.

A cat hopped into Kamui’s lap as Seishirou brought their order out. “Where did you get the cats?” Kamui asked again.

Seishirou repeated his answer. “Here and there.”

“This one has a collar.” Kamui’s fingers rubbed the metal tag inscribed with the cat’s name and the phone number for its humans.

“Well, we’re only borrowing it for the day, so isn’t it fine?” Seishirou continued to smile as he set down the plates and cups, then moved on to the next customer.

Off  days,  with  him,  rarely  mean  to  be  at  home,  inside  his  apartment.  Loneliness  was  an  casual  companion  within  these  walls,  in  which  regardless  whiteness  of  wall,  an  particular  emptiness  would  be  noticed  around  ---  focusing  mostly  of  his  primary  needs,  where  there  was  absence  of  memories  or  attached  recollections  any  other  people  could  have  …  considering  how  his  backstory  was  an  bit  complicated  to  talk  to  begin  with,  something  he  rarely  spoke  to.  He  learned  to  arranging  myself  as  it  always  had  been  how  he  had  living,  besides  to  always,  simply,  naturally,  pushing  people  needs  first  before  his  own,  always  inclined  to  help  someone  or  some  spirit  around  instead  to  facing  himself  with  his  own  thoughts.  Mangas  had  been  a  long-term  escaping  where  he  could  recognize  himself  within  these  stories.  He  won’t  be  some  courageous  heroes  saving  the  day  with  powerful  magic  ---  though,  sometimes,  inside  other  escaping,  he  did  managed  to  act  as  an  protector  ---  where  having  an  mysterious  witch  at  his  side  inclining  him  to  reconsidering  his  perception  of  usual  cliché  of  the  concerned.  As  much  adventures  was  craved  inside  stories  long  before  he  experienced  further  himself  (perceiving  spirits  daily  noticing  his  presence  and  asking  something  from  him  was  already  an  adventure,  as  impossible  it  would  have  been  to  expressing  inside  an  couple  of  words  or  explaining  the  actual  struggle  it  could  be!)  he  also  desired  reading  mangas  with  an  fun  approach,  where  rest  would  be  main  topic,  when  an  comedic  approach  would  change  atmosphere  of  his  daily  life.  Of  course,  once  he  started  a  manga,  he  wanted  to  finish  it!  Nevertheless,  how  time  always  was  an  delicate  notion  for  passing  far  too  fast  and  barely  had  time  to  stay  home,  he  couldn’t  follow  too  much  serials  neither  be  aware  about  all  recent  ones.  Sometimes,  he  enjoyed  the  day  with  a  good  meal  and  enjoying  the  city  for  a  little  bit !

He had nestled closer to a window, the bottom of the window being only slightly ajar to get a small hint of the autumn wind outside. He was wearing his favourite purple hoodie so the wind was more of a light breeze than an uncomfortable one - plus he could hear the occasional sounds of leaves rustling through the wind, hitting the ground with a small crunch and sometimes - the odd leaf that tried to float through the open slot in the window, which was quickly thrown back outside. "Hot drinks are always a good companion to any books, but it'd suck to have one spill on one," He gives a small chuckle as he adjusts his hoodie over his shoulders, being quick to agree with such a sentiment. "Just you, some books, a drink and maybe even a blanket," He agrees, the thought alone already seeming to fill him with a contented warmth. "Can't think of a better way to spend an off day," He manages after a small yawn, though not born out of any fatigue but a feeling of just pure comfort and contentment. "Heh, let's do it then," He began to grow excited at the idea - moving to stand excitedly. "Do you have any manga at home...? Or we could always go to a bookstore and buy ourselves a big stack of new manga that we can read and go through together!"
