Aoki had spent most of the ride telling the pretty lady about her cats and how much she missed them. She even tried to show her some of the pictures she had on her phone, but she couldn't really find the gallery until the pretty lady helped. She had three albums, and each was dedicated to the three cats she had. She had a bonus one, where she had various pictures of them all together or playing. At some point, she had started crying again while singing "Can't hug every cat," in which the driver begged Xia to make Aoki stop her crying and singing. To the taxi driver's relief, they made it to Aoki's apartment building just fifteen minutes later. 

"Up... upstairs." Aoki sniffed as she slowly climbed up the metallic stairs of an old brick building. Aoki fumbled with the keys for a bit until she found the one with a laugh and unlocked the door. "Come in, pretty lady!" She let the woman in first then closed the door behind her as Aoki came in. "P-Please take off your shoes!" She said and did so as a ball of white fur meowed her way to them. Sakura, the white-furred cat, ran to Aoki and didn't stop until she scooped the cat up and gave the kitten kisses. The apartment had concrete like floors and walls, except for the brick one. Ceilings were high, and there was a loft right over the kitchen and entrance of the place. Large windows covered most of the right-hand side wall where about twenty canvases leaning against the windows. The windows over looked the sea and the harbor, the lights coming from the window almost illuminated the apartment when the lights were off. 

Aoki had started to sober up, just a little tiny bit, but she was still stumbling around her apartment. Two more cats joined the downstairs and began to rub against Aoki's ankles as she carried Sakura to the livingroom. She almost tripped when her foot caught the carpet but she quickly regained her balance. It was almost as if she was a natural at catching herself just before falling, must have been the years of dancing. 

"Y-you can take the bed." Aoki would rather sleep on the couch with her cats and the warm blanket she kept over one of the smaller chairs. She sat down with Sakura still in her arms and closed her eyes. Oh, how her feet hurt and her head spun from just five beers. She should have really stuck to three as she had planned to. That had been enough to make the club enjoyable. "G'night," Aoki said, but the pretty lady hadn't heard. Sakura, Luci, and Sötnos then turned to the stranger in their home and began to sniff her. Luci, the black cat, quickly warmed up to Xia and began to rub herself against her ankles while Sötnos lost interest and went to lie down next to Aoki's sleeping form. 

Sakura and Luci decided to sleep on top of the stranger that night.
