The day had gone by slowly. Kei hadn't done much of anything that morning but sit in her office and look for interesting places on the net. She was trying to find some inspiration for her portfolio. She would need a lot of really good works for her portfolio if she was going to make it as an artist but she simply hadn't felt that inspired today. She decided to give up for now and get some food instead. 

Stretching as she got up, Kei drowsily made her way to the kitchen and opening the refrigerator only to reveal her severe lack of anything ready to eat. All she had were ingredients, which meant she had to cook. She currently lacked the motivation to cook and so in turn no longer had the desire to eat right at this minute. She started to walk back to her office when she noticed something outside. By the pond there was a lone man feeding the fish. It was none other than the mysterious landlord Jin. Kei took a step onto the balcony to get a better look. At that moment Jin almost reminded her of a Buddhist monk, he had a certain zen-like quality to him that appealed to her. 

Quietly as not to disturb the atmosphere, she dipped into her office, retrieved her tablet, and hurried back to her balcony. She deicded on watercolors and got to work. Everything else was only a distraction as she focused intently on the scene. She wanted to capture every feature, every ray of light, and turn it into something beautiful.
