Chiba was one beer in, which wasn’t a whole lot for how late the evening was, but perhaps it was enough for now. He left a small tip before heading out, tired, but not tired enough to head home. Everything was not enough at the moment, but it would have to do. He settled for a late night walk, the cold air was nice, sobered him up from not being drunk at all. He even smiled a little, for just a moment until he saw the familiar face heading the opposite direction from him. Just a chance meeting. But that was all their relationship had come to, chance meetings. “Hi Marley.”
