13th Candid Photo

[Hachibe's been saving all his money for weeks on end ever since he first arrived in Mayfield.  He's met so many girls with beautiful parts, but he has nothing to show for it except the picture of Empress' hands he got during her birthday party.  Clearly, this needs to be remedied.  So today after school, he's out shopping for a high-end camera with color film.  Unfortunately, that sort of thing was pretty expensive in the 1950s - much more expensive than a teenage bike messenger could afford on even several months' pay.  But there he is at the store all the same, desperately counting out a pocket full of change and small bills.]

"Oh man... I don't even have half as much as I need!  Why is this thing so expensive, anyway?"

[He grumbles in frustration, counting and recounting his money and always coming up incredibly short each time.  Eventually he shoves it all back in his pocket and just sighs, face pressed up against the glass display case of the expensive Polaroid camera he's currently lusting after.]

[Hachibe just stares for a moment, like he's having a hard time understanding this. He probably doesn't get it entirely, but he smiles all the same anyway.]

"...I guess if you don't mind, then. I'll owe you one, okay?"

...right. I probably won't call you on that.

[forking some money out of his wallet. working for over a year and barely spending a thing, he's got a bit in it and he hands over half of it]

"You're a real stand-up guy, Shiki! I definitely misjudged you!"

[Bright smiles all over as he pats Shiki on the shoulder before taking the wad of cash.]

Y-yeah. I'm sure that's exactly it.

[Waves over the sales drone lady and pays for the camera and as many rolls of color film as he can afford.]

"Oh man, this is so great!"
