<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/a/ac/Taro03.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Taro Ikeda (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=257738.msg12730054#msg12730054)<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Cafeteria<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Flashback - a few days before school starts, breakfast time<br/><strong>With:</strong>Shizuma + Open<br/><hr/>"That's the junior high I went to, before that year off school. Yoyogi Junior High. Some coincidence, huh?" This morning was apparently reserved for odd coincidences. The chance of them having run into each other on the track had to have been slim, and the chances of them being from the very same area of Tokyo were probably even smaller. It made him wonder if that would be the end of it, or if fate had more surprises in store for them.<br/><br/>"We lived in Ura-Hara (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ura-Harajuku), pretty much in the middle of 4-chome."<br/><br/>Taro finally remembered the piece of orange he was still holding and popped it into his mouth, chewing slowly. He was just reaching for a napkin to wipe his fingers when Shizuma reached out for him. That was new. Ruffling his hair? He didn't know what to make of it, but this was something new. When she had touched his arm at the track, or just a few minutes ago, it had been a spontaneous gesture, nothing planned.<br/><br/>If they hadn't had the cafeteria to themselves at the moment, Taro would perhaps have said no, but he was curious what Shizuma was up to, and there was one way likely to provide the answer.<br/><br/>"Okay. Go ahead."
