After Jian Wei left, I sat in the coffee shop for a long time, not touching the pastries she hadn't even tried, while my mind intermittently flashed with the image of that scar, even though I had come to believe it was just an accident.

Finally, I finished the remaining coffee in my cup and stared out the window, lost in thought. In my daze, I wished to become the streetlamp on the corner that no longer shone, not caring how sad a streetlamp it was, for it could no longer illuminate the path for passersby.

...

After leaving the coffee shop, I went to CC's "Empty City Music Restaurant," but CC wasn't there. The only person present was Robben.

He brought me a large mug of draft beer, and I gulped down half of it before asking him, "Where's CC?"

"She's gone to the Fifth Season Bar. There's a fashion show there today."

I nodded, said nothing more, and just drank.

Robben tossed me a cigarette and asked with a smile, "Something on your mind?"

"It's not really something on my mind, just feeling a bit uneasy."@@novelbin@@
