Wiping down the counter of the newly opened Paixao branch of WildKat coffee, Hanekoma looked around to do one last check that everything was in order for a new day of customers. So far business hadn't exactly been booming, but even if he met one new customer Hanekoma was willing to call it a good day.

After all, the more people he met, the more his world expanded, and the more he understood the events that surrounded him. That in mind he moved to the door, and flipped the sign to 'Open.'

Grinning as he refilled her coffee, Hanekoma let his eyes dart over to her as she stretched. She was a very intriguing woman to be sure.

"Sounds like a very interesting business plan you have there. I suppose everyone has desires they didn't even know about. So much of our hearts remains a mystery even from ourselves, yet that never means we should stop trying to understand them."

Hanekoma smiled as Yuuko described her home, which sounded so much like his own in many ways, especially in the bustle of people which had stolen his heart. "I see, then we do have some differences. In my Shibuya it is that very same activity that attracts the spirits, as they gather around others, or even fight for their own survival. Though whether they do what they do for good or ill," he shrugged, "depends on the spirit I suppose."

Yuuko grinned, it was one of those 'I know something you don't grins,' (though Yuuko had a feeling Hanekoma DID know). "Yes, there are quite a number of people who have secret desires and don't realize what their true wish is. Many of the people who come to me only see the surface value of their wishes and don't realize the deeper one's that their true heart holds."

It was far too common. Humans were such strange creatures, lying to themselves like that so often. Even Watanuki hadn't realized why he had wound up at her shop until Yuuko had suggested it to him.

"Interesting," Yuuko replied, nodding her head, "It makes sense though. Each world is different and even the way spirits work can vary."

"It can be terrifying to look too deep within ones self, for fear of what you might find," Hanekoma mused. "The trick, I've found, is to accept ones self and those around you for who you and they are, even if what you find isn't what you wanted to. That way, even if you learn something you wished you hadn't, you can acknowledge it, face it, and change it. Otherwise you just become stagnant as a person, and that's not really a pleasant thing to be," he finished with a bit of a grin.

Sipping his coffee he listened to Yuuko's talk of spirits with interest. "The world beyond is a mystery no matter where you go, and each time it's got a new plot and cast."

Rolling his shoulders, he tilted his head to one side and said, "Well, we've discussed business, but I must admit I am curious what a lovely lady such as yourself does in your free time."
