Bambi's taxi pulls up outside Ryuu's apartment building and she hands the driver - a talktive man with a beard - a few notes to pay for the ride. She lights up a cigarette as she steps out and punches in the familiar code which opens the main door. Ryuu's apartment is a few floors up and her shoes make a sharp 'click' against the stone staircase.
When she reaches Ryuu's front door, Ayase is already standing outside, "Hello, darling." she greets, ruffling his hair.
