You said you come here often, right?
Then you probably spent a bunch here already.
You don’t tell my boss I got distracted by my books and in return you get free food. Deal?
Yeah, I'm a Resident down the block at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center.
This place is so close, that's why I'm here a lot.
Law school, that sounds pretty intense?
Smoked it is.
It’s only a special when I get distracted by my text books and accidentally leave the chicken in a bit too long.
Sorry. I just got here from my other work so I didn’t have much time to study yet.
And I don’t know why I’m telling you all this. I’m so sorry.
"yeah, exactly that." she exhaled a sigh, lightly picking at her manicured nail. her head tilted.
"regret what? choosing to change? no. i think i needed it. its been. . .exceptional. well, except. . ." except losing boyd.
"You mean when you transformed or whatever it's called?"
Aki taps the end of his cigarette, a little tail of ash falling to the ground.
"You regret it?"
"not really. i guess becoming who i am now was payback enough. got to turn down certain guys and laugh in their face." she shrugged her shoulders.
"no. that didn't work. he was wrapped around her finger." she exhaled a sigh like she was bored.
