Prior....
[i]Apartment Complex[/i]

After having only been in this town for a week and mostly by himself with the occasional check up made Jace Cadeus a very lonely individual indeed. Without anything to do but study he poured himself into studying. He was put in his third year class and was already starting to get adjusted into this whole Japanese jig. Whatever it was about this place...whatever it was about this town and the uniform he wore to school everyday...it was boring and it didn't fit an American born boy like him. Whatever life he had, by choice, left behind temporarily didn't phase him in the least it only served to remind him he didn't fully belong here and that his heart belonged in a different land. However cliche that sounded was pointless because to him it was the truth and the only truth. Besides after what happened a couple years back....could you really blame him? The accident wasn't pleasant for anyone and it had come so suddenly. 

However after checking his clock and sighing to himself he couldn't help but note one specific thing...that this whole thing was reality and he would accept it. He wouldn't bash the Japanese life style and he wouldn't act home sick. He'd adjust and he'd adjust until he couldn't turn the knob on his life any further. Jace Caedus was not a quitter and he never would be. Looking at his TV he turned it onto the first few channels but nothing was really interesting on TV and the funny game shows would come on later. Whatever....TV sucked half the time anyways. Jace changed into his more comfortable clothes and decided he'd head down to the food court to grab a bite to eat while he was down there.

[i]Warakuma Food Court[/i]

After getting some ramen and a small platter of french fries, mostly to bring home with him because ramen didn't mix well with french fries, he plopped himself down in a small corner and started to eat. As he eat his food he couldn't help but bring a small book with him known as The War of Thrones which detailed the story of a young soldier who was currently fighting for his life against an enemy kingdom after his dad died. It was an interesting book but it wasn't anything special to be completely honest. Come to think of it the book had been average up onto this point anyways and he had only kept reading to avoid studying more than he had.
