“We’re here!”
“Where?”
“Akihabara!”
I stared at Hisao. I want to go paint.
“Where do you want to go first Rin?”
“Don’t care.”
I really want to go paint He gave me a troubled look.
“Let’s go over here!”
He pointed to a big intersection that had a bunch of people. That looks crowded. I don’t like when he makes me do these things. But I like being around him. I get to paint new things when I spend time with him.
-
The intersection had a lot of big screens handing up. The pictures on it changed a lot to different pictures.
“It’s crowded here.”
“I know. But doesn’t it bring back memories?”
I looked up at him. What are you talking about?
“Remember that night outside 22nd Corner?”
Oh. Right. I nodded to him.
“I want to spend more time with you Rin.”
I stepped closer to him. I don’t know why I did that. He has had a lot of change on me as we spend time together. But he helps me paint new things. That’s why I want to stay with him. He smiled before guiding me into a store.

“AHHHHHHHhhhhhh”
He flopped down on the couch.
“I’m so tired Rin.”
I nodded. I don’t like walking around that much. But now I can paint.
“Where can I paint?”
“Oh right, sorry.”
He got up and set up my easel for me in the corner. He had set down towels and things under it. He got me a chair too.
“Thanks.”
He smiled and laid down on the couch. He wasn’t so noisy this time. He watched me as I started to paint.
 
…
 
Hisao let out a big yawn. I don’t know how long I’ve been painting. I think it’s almost done though. I’m tired. I’ll finish this first though. It had become a tall building. I think it was one we saw earlier today. But the shape was different. The background wasn’t other buildings either. It was different colors. I liked this better. There were no people either.
“Are you coming to bed Rin?”
“Soon.”
He got up quietly and went in the other room. I kept working for a while and then went in the room. It’s hard to go into a room quietly without arms. The bed was smaller than the one at home. But there was enough room. I undressed and got in with him. His body is warm. It’s also colder here than at home. I pushed my back into his body. He put his arm on my side. I don’t really mind though.
The room got darker and darker…
