The sudden shouting of a girl and yowling of a stray cat jolted Haruka from sleep. Most likely, she was either chasing the animal or she stumbled upon it and yelled at it. While one was slightly more excusable than the other, both were completely unacceptable in his eyes. No matter the cause, he felt almost agitated by it. It made him curious as to the source of the cat's distress. That curiosity quickly mounted until he couldn't bear to stand around, he had to see what was going on.

He grabbed an old umbrella to prevent his toweling efforts from going completely to waste, and stepped outside of the tent. He gingerly stepped towards the side of the rooftop where the commotion was coming from. He squinted his eyes and looked carefully, until he spotted a girl walking down a nearby alley, surely she must be the culprit.

Yet, instead of jumping down or saying anything, he decided to try to enact a bit of karma from where he was standing. He picked up an empty soda can, crushed it down to a ball-like shape under his shoe, and took aim.

With a wide swing of his arm and a blistering flick of his wrist, he pitched the can directly at the girl. Instead of waiting for any sort of feedback or watching the events unfold, he skulked back into his tent and tried to lay down again.
