~ Strangelove's Coffee Porch ~
Akihiko had agreed to meet at a cafe that his classmate had recommended. Luckily, it was also a coffee place that he knew ghouls went to, so he felt relief for not having to force himself to eat that disgusting human food. He learned to tolerate eating a few things to keep his tracks clean in case someone suspected, but if he could avoid it he would. Once the other guy had showed up they began to discuss the new major project that the professor assigned them. It was quite complex, but he had spent time in pretty much deciphering what was needed to be done on it. Technically, he had said no in helping this guy as he had a reputation for leeching off of others to get work done, but decided to break a deal with him. If he helped him with the project then the guy would have to buy him an special coffee maker that he had been wanting for the longest time. The great thing about attending a National University was that many rich humans attended, so adding the fact that this one was dumb in his studies Akihiko took his chances. The guy easily agreed, and so that's how they ended up in the coffee shop. However, halfway through discussing how he had figured out the project the guy had to leave, and asked if they could meet up later. Of course, Akihiko had no complaints. He could sit back, and enjoy some coffee while people-watching. Least, that was his plan until some commotion on the balcony of the shop happened, and people scrambled to figure out what was happening. Being curious about the commotion he would blend in with the crowd to see what was going on, and when the ambulance came he knew. A brief look at the guy in the stretcher holding his chest gave a clear sign of a heart attack. Another ghoul was a victim to this horrid virus.

~ Electronics Shop ~
Looking around to see where this electronics store was Akihiko sighed. His phone had been messing up for the past few days now, so he decided to skip a class period to see what could be done about it. The original company he had the phone with was 30 minutes away by car at that. He could take public transportation, but he would have to miss all day of classes as well as miss out on work due to the company having walk ins be less important than prior appointments. It was understandable, but if he could avoid it he would. Which was why he was looking around for an electronics store that a classmate told him about. If they could help him with his phone then he would be forever grateful.
Passing by a glass display he stopped, and walked backwards to see the morning news on the TV. They were talking about the virus that is not officially linked to ghouls deaths, but has been successful in vaccinations for it.
"Che." Only humans get the medical attention, and CCG protection. From us at that...ridiculous. Looking up to see what kind of store it was Akihiko realized that this was the place he was looking for, and practically slammed the door open as he walked to it.
"Hey!" He said to the male behind the counter.
"Can you please help me with my phone?" he walked over to the counter, and placed his phone down.
"The screen keeps going black when I don't even lock it. Would you be able to fix that? I don't mind leaving it here!" The guy behind the counter was shocked for a second as Akihiko had walked in suddenly. He slowly reached for the phone, and looked at it before putting it back down. "I can take a look at it right now, but," He stood up, reached for a paper, and then sat back down while handing him the paper. "To sum it up this keeps you from sueing me if you [I]think[I] I stole, tweaked, hacked, put a virus, or did many other ridiculous things to your phone." Akihiko asked for a pen, and signed the paper. "Alright," The guy grabbed the paper. "It'll take 30 minutes to look at it, so come back in 30 minutes." Akihiko nodded, but before he left the guy called out to him. "There's a cafe across the street if you want to wait."
Of course, he decided to go to the cafe to wait. In his backpack were a few books to read, so he would just spend his time reading while waiting. On entering the cafe he grinned as he smelled the coffee aroma. He walked up to the counter with the perky cashier, and asked for a certain coffee. She smiled, he gave her the money, she gave him the change, and he took a number. His luck ended there however as he turned to see many of the tables occupied. For a second there he contemplated going back to school, and leaving his phone until later, but decided against it. Looking around he noticed someone sitting alone, so he walked over to him hoping the guy wouldn't mind having someone sit at the same table.
"Hey," Akihiko cleared his throat.
"Do you mind if I sit here?"
