Reiko had already been awake for a couple hours, sorting through her papers from the semester that just ended and thinking about what she would do of her life, come next December, and her graduation with it. Though, dwelling on those matters would do her no good, so Reiko decided to go out and get some fresh air, to clear her head bit.

Fetching a red beret and sunglasses from her drawer, Reiko went on a walk and eventually reached the shopping center [color=f08080][i]"I might as well have something to eat"[/i][/color], Reiko thought to herself, scanning the place before walking inside. On the way to the food court, Reiko bought a new book that had just arrived on the bookstore that she usually frequents and once there, she got a cup of café-au-lait and some cream puffs from a pastry shop and set to read the rather small book sat by the shade of one of the parasols that covered the tables of the open air part of the food court.

Despite the fact that Reiko almost looked like a foreigner model, or celebrity, of sort, while dressed in her usual clothes, she wondered if anyone would come and try to talk to her.
