There were two thoughts on Azuma Kinnosuke's mind the moment he first took a sip of his morning coffee. One of these thoughts was inconsequential and would fade away into obscurity before the day was over, and the other would end up proving a vital bit of information, although it would only remain relevant for the day, much like the other thought but with a tad more importance. The first of these two thoughts was rather simple.
Hm. This is good coffee. Did they do something to it today? I could swear it usually isn't this good.
Like I said, inconsequential. The second thought, however, was neither inconsequential or simple. It came into his mind directly after he gulped down that first sip of nice, hot coffee. Perfectly timed, if you ask me.
Oh, hold on. Is that a spiritual energy signature? Wow... that's rather large. It could be another Quincy or a Spiritualist... but at the same time, it could totally be a hollow. Damn, and I JUST got the coffee! Alright, best get moving then.
Having a job to do did suck quite a bit, didn't it? Just ask me, I should know! I had one to do for the longest time, but I eventually decided to quit, and well... here I am! Anyway, more about me later. This is a story about our friend Azuma, isn't it? Yes, of course it is, I probably shouldn't be asking silly, rhetorical questions for no reason...
AS I WAS SAYING, Azuma had been rather enjoying his coffee, but unfortunately, he only got that one sip in before he started moving. Silently, he got up from his seat and put in his earbuds, something you'd expect any normal person to do if they were just stopping by a coffee shop. On the way out, he dumped the cardboard-type cup into the trash, moving as he did so. Nobody noticed, because nobody had any need to. After all, he was just a normal person going about his morning to them.
Now, when I say morning, it was actually 11:00 AM, but of course, that kind of time counts as real early for a 19 year old, doesn't it? Regardless of the time, nobody noticed, and that was good, because chances were, if Azuma was to run into a hollow, there would be explosions. Explosions were not safe for him, or any other person for that matter, but it was better that he dealt with them alone, without worrying about collateral damage. And so, out of the coffee shop and away he went.
Down the sidewalk.
Across the road.
Through the park.
Into the alley.
And that was when he saw a very odd, insectoid-like creature that he could only assume was a hollow... or something.
Then a very strange (but highly accurate) thought popped into his head.
Hold on a second, is that a Starcraft unit!?
