[A box is delivered to Lau's oft-renamed emporium. Inside it is a single long-stemmed rose carved out of dark chocolate. Attached is a note:] flowers need pruning while weeds may grow free; when the clock strikes eleven, where will you be?
Just when I thought this place was starting to get predictable, it just has to make me go and eat my words. I get it~ I get it~ I'll never tempt fate again!
Lau - let's not meet up this time round, hmm? I really hate wasting time.
Geeze, what's with this city now? It's like time left a few of us behind after all!
Not that I can't make good use of this.
Sou~ji-kun! You have excellent timing, as usual. I have a person I'd like you to meet, they'll be waiting in the bar of the Starscape this evening. You're not too busy, right?
Hey, hey.... isn't this a little unfair? I may be inquisitive to the point of being a busybody, but this is ridiculous.
People are their most charming when they're lying desperately to themselves and everyone around them - removing that instinct.... it just takes the fun out of it.
Hey, hey, now Desai... was that really necessary? Macs are expensive, you know. Oh, but now that my servers are back up and running, it's given me a pretty good idea?
Oi, Lau. Have you given that business proposal any more thought?
