Shiroko

Shiroko decides to go on a modest, 40km bike through the city on her day off. Feeling the wind in her hair and the light burn in her muscles, she lets her gaze wander around the city as she goes. After a time, she realizes that she's getting close to the Schale building. Struck with a sudden idea, she sends Du a text.

[Sensei.]
[Are you working today?]

After waiting a couple minutes, she gets a reply saying that Du has the day off, and is at his home right now. Shiroko smiles slightly: she knows his house is only a few kilometers away. Spending some time with Sensei on her day off isn't an opportunity she's likely to pass up.

[I'm going to come over.]
[Be there soon.]
