* elsewhere, harlock sits at a bar, lonely and slightly buzzed, staring down an empty bottle of corona*

... why do I even drink these, I could never get drunk off them....

*tosses it into a nearby trashcan, and sits back down*

bartender, ill have a water, please.

*hands him two cards, worth 20 EDB Credits*

you've earned this, for putting up with me all night..

bartender: * slides them back towards harlock*

you keep 'em. you've paid me enough a month ago for free drinks in here for the rest of your life, you don't need to pay me anymore.

harlock: *takes them back*

I know, I just hate bothering people....
