Komorebi

[Toaster]

Her Sutinga gently settling down into the soft embrace of the landing pad's gravity cushion, Olivia leapt out of the already open cockpit, her boots sending up a splash of water from a shallow puddle as she hit the ground. Annoyed, she glanced up at the sky. The roof of the hangar facility extended all the way to the pad one over from hers, leaving her and her craft to stand in the slow, warm drizzle of New Tokyo's rain. Hoping to avoid getting her flightsuit soaked, she hurried across the open area towards a row of air taxis waiting for passengers.

Settling into one of the unmanned vehicles, she fished her PDA out of an inside pocket of her attire, revealing a text notification on its screen. "Komorebi," Olivia said out loud. Immediately, the taxi's door slid shut and the craft lurched into the air, plotting a path across the spaceport towards the café.

A brief, relatively smooth ride through the district's busy air traffic later, the cab touched down on the far side of the road, across from the small, cozy looking establishment, its exterior styled to have the appearance of being made of planks of cherry wood. Olivia stepped out of the taxi and jogged across the road, through a large group of tourists enjoying a sightseeing tour on foot despite the persistent precipitation.

A small bell chimed as she entered through the simple door, the name of the café painted neatly in Kusarian across its face. Taking a moment to let her eyes adjust to the dimly lit interior, Olivia glanced around, letting her eyes briefly rest on each of the few patrons. Her gaze landed on a glass door, through which she spotted a clearly non-Kusarian woman with raven black hair sitting at a table by herself.

Nodding towards a somewhat bored looking waiter, Olivia mouthed the words sake and coffee before heading towards the patio and whom she assumed was her new drinking partner.
