[i]All day. It took all day.[/i]
Akane pulled her scarf up over her mouth as she let out a shiver from the cold. She hated the cold and her misery was only amplified today as she trekked back towards her home from the library. With all her research notes done, she could finally leave the library. As she traveled her gaze fell to the windows of numerous stores that she passed. Slowly, Akane withdrew a pair of headphones from her bag. She settled them on her ears, over her hair and pressed a button on the side of the headphones. The relaxing sound of a piano filled her ears as she continued on her trip back to her dorm.

It was relaxing to walk in the late evening like this. Akane enjoyed just peering about the city and simply looking at the night sky, at least until a little dog hopped up against her leg. Startled, Akane smiled under the bright red scarf covering most of her face. She followed the little guy's leash up to meet the eyes of a man to whom she gave a quick nod before continuing on her way. 

[i]I wonder if there's a pet store around here... I could use some...[/i] Akane paused in thought for a moment. [i]Cats... I could use some cats. Like five of them should suffice.[/i] Her smile melded into a smirk as she continued down the sidewalk. It was only a few more moments before her peaceful music was interrupted once again, but this time it came from a buzzing in her shoulder bag. Akane's hand curled around her cellphone as she pulled it out of her bag, the bright screen illuminating her face and making her squint. An alert from another girl in her dormitory. Apparently there was a problem or some sort of renovation and they wouldn't let students into that section of the dormitory. 

Akane let out a long sigh as she spun disappointedly on her heel. [i]Off to the the cafe then.[/i] Akane figured some shops would start closing now, but Mochavine should still be open. It wasn't long before she arrived at the quaint little cafe and bar. She took one of her usual seats towards the window and ordered a simple cup of tea. She would have withdrawn a book as well, just to have something to do, but Akane had done enough of that today. Which made her think: With all that done, she had a weekend ahead of her with no homework to do. It would be a rather boring weekend lest she find something else. Contemplating her plans, Akane continued to sip her tea and peer out into the city.
