Akira passed his time watching the other tenants of the apartment building. The couple with their child on their arms passed by his tree. When they were passing the child looked up, smiled and waved at Akira. He waved back but made sure that the parents wouldn't see him. He didn't need to bother because the pair thought that the smile and wave was directed at them. By now Akira knew very well that there was a big difference between what he had seen on tv and reality, so no matter how much it looked like it came straight from the soap opera, he wouldn't make the mistake of mixing up the two again. The black neko concentrated on Roku's apartment again. He didn't know that he would go see Hiyoko in a moment. It could be that Hiyoko would tell Roku that the only thing that she and Akira ever talked about was him. Akira's ears perked up when Roku left his apartment.
