Summary
Kirika stepped into her apartment, closing and locking the door behind her. She tossed her keys onto the coffee table and moved into the kitchen. She opened the fridge, leaning over to scan the remnants. Hmm. Her last shopping trip was just the other day and there already wasn’t much left. Guess she hadn’t gotten as much as she originally thought. Oh well. It was too late to go out anywhere. Not that she wanted to go out. So, she grabbed a beer and called it a night.
She fell onto the futon with a heavy sigh. She then grabbed the remote, turning the small television on. It was on the news station, which wasn’t anything new. She pretty much only ever watched the news…when she did watch TV, that is. A bad habit she formed to fill the silence.
“The time is now 12:15,” the reporter said, “on October fourth—”
She raised an eyebrow. “October fourth, huh?” She nodded, pursing her lips. Then she lifted her beer can. “Tch. Cheers.”

Summary
12:00am.
How is it he always found himself wide awake at midnight? It was like an internal clock. Every time the clock struck twelve, Akihiko would wake up and remain awake. It never failed.
He lay in his bed, staring at the ceiling through the darkness. There was only so much he could do. Call one of the others, maybe? He hated calling them this late at night, though. He always felt bad for waking them up. Despite the fact that it used to pretty much be routine. Then again, it was routine seven years ago.
Wow. It had really been that long.
