Montague-Dojima Apartment, Tokyo, Tuesday Daytime

Romeo's college required he take a business ethics course. It wasn't such a bad idea, really. In Verona, showing up with a few bodyguards and asking pointed questions about how attached a rival was to his cars was considered a reasonable opening salvo. He flipped through the text with a highlighter in hand, occasionally shooting worried glances at the door.

Yurika wasn't saying anything, but he could tell something at work was troubling her. A friend had died; that was as much as she'd told him, and that was worry enough.

He reread the passage on ethical hiring practices and hoped she'd be home soon.

"It's worth trying," she said. "I mean, I hope it is, anyway. We'll see. After this is all over -- after the conference goes down? I'm taking a huge vacation. No matter how it goes. So I'm going to catch up with everyone and party and have way too much sex with Reno."

Withdrawl sucked.

Romeo went pink at the sharing. Not that he didn't understand, he just normally didn't say it so baldly. And Rikku had always seemed uncomfortable about such topics with him.

He rubbed the back of his neck.

"You have changed, do you know that? Not that I object to the particulars of your plan. I'll be glad to see you anytime; all I have is school."
