Hakase entered the bar and noticed a young pilot sitting at his usual place a the bar. He crossed the room and nodded to the familiar faces as he passed them. Quietly he took the seat next to the depressed figure.
The bartender, glass in hand, turned to Hakase, "What'll it be Cap'n?"
"The usual Andrew -kun," he reached into his pocket and drew out a check book, "Oh and the bill for the crew last week."
Andrew held up a hand, "no need Taka, that shipment you brought in sold , if you could get me another, I'd be much obliged."
"I'll see what I can do," Hakase put away the checkbook as Andrew left to fill his order. He listened as the young lady sniffled silently into her shirt.
Gently, Takara spoke up, "Douka sheeta no - What is wrong?" (*NOTE EE=I but because of the censorship, I have to spell phonetically)
