>I think the ones with the unsatisfied curiosities are us, if anything.
>Give another look in her direction, then carry on to the bus stop.
>Rin chuckles quietly.
Ya might be right.>Another glance back at the jade-haired shrine maiden reveals that she has shifted her gaze towards the skies, studying the grey clouds flying past, her expression distant, wistful. You wonder what she is thinking about.
>But it is an idle curiousity, and you are tired and hungry, so you continue along your way, before it gets any colder out here. You lean to the right to pass by a youngish man in tattered jeans lounging indolently on the bottom of the stairs, gabbing away on his mobile phone. The ramen cart has closed its shutters for the evening, which both you and Rin admit to being quite disappointed about.
>The bus stop is deserted when you approach it. Hardly a surprise, that. A glance at the schedule reveals that there is indeed one more bus tonight, but it will not arrive for about thirty-five minutes.
