Ren's smartphone beeped the alarm, its vibrations rumbled over his chest, giving it an odd feeling, He pulled the sheets out of his naked frame, and walked over to the sofa, there were two different sets clothes, his exercise clothing which consisted of a green sweatpants and a white shirt, the other was his new uniform, a dark blazer, and red striped pants, he started his exercise routine again, however this time he moved much quicker during his reps, he went extra hard on his body after noting how easy he was completing the exercise, and soon 40 minutes passed.

He stretched, minding his sore muscles.
Ren:"Hrm...Can't go on my first day sweaty like this…" Ren walked over to the couch and picked his uniform and went to the bathhouse using the spare key Sojiro gave him yesterday when he went out.
Soon his body was soaked in the hot bath, It was early and nobody was here, so he had a very clean bath.

He turned on the Television for something to watch, but it was only rehashes of yesterday accident.
Newscaster:"The day after the tragedy, people are taking other lines to avoid the station where it occurred. Lines to Ikebukuro have been delayed by the incident, and are expected to be full. The transfer to the lines will be also crowded, so take care and..."
Ren turned the TV off, he picked up his phone.
Ren:'Well, my life is destined to 'ruin' already…'
He went into the app store and downloaded some social apps like Instagram and Line*, made an account on them and started posting stupid photos of him, as a joke, however all of his photos seemed too photogenic, was he always this handsome? Or was he a narcissist, Ren had no clue.
Ren wasn't much of a social network person, but this was a new chapter of his life, he felt the people in his school were going to find out about his record one way or the other, like his hometown, he was going to be the outcast again, but perhaps he could find someone or something online, well he didn't know, But as a teenager at the very least, he sought validation, not scorn.
Ren:'...'
Ren:'...I have school starting today. Hopefully, I can get there without getting lost, last night exploration gave me a lot of insight into Shibuya, but Aoyama… Not so much...'

Soon Sojiro arrived and started preparing for opening up his shop, as Sojiro prepared a coffee and some dish, Ren looked over his math textbook in one of the booths, it had algebra and trigonometry, as well as some insight into calculus for the third year, soon some minutes passed and Ren put his books in his bag, ready to leave, but Sojiro stopped him.

Sojiro:"Hey, hold on a minute." He said in a soft tone while looking at the newspaper.
Ren turned around and looked at Sojiro, Ren tapped his finger in the strap of his school bag.
Ren:"Hrm?"
Sojiro:"So you are actually going to school?" his tone was colored with surprise
Ren:"I'm not a dropout, I still intend to go to university…" Ren said with a matter of fact tone, his eyes full of conviction.
Ren:'It's what father would have wanted, may he rest in peace, even though he was full of shit' Ren did a prayer in his mind.
While no proof, he was sure his father was dead in a ditch, mother looked murderous when he left, she was the scariest being he ever met, it was harsh but Ren couldn't understand mother, she was inhuman, a monster wearing human skin.
Sojiro:"Hmph...I see, well...Here." Sojiro pushed a plate towards Ren, it was Curry Rice and a mug of coffee, Ren's stomach growled, empty after the exercise.
Sojiro:"I'll feed you, Just make sure you finish it before the customers start coming in." The man went back to his paper.
Ren:"Curry…" Ren's eyes became swirls of gray as he stared at the tender meat, it was pork, the sauce had such a good aroma, the rice was cooked to perfection, a pure white goodness.
Sojiro:"What's that reaction for? Just eat it." Sojiro said in a slightly startled tone.
Ren:"Can I? Then... Itadakimasu..." Ren pulled a stool and started eating in earnest, the pork had been perfectly seasoned as the fatty part of it melted in his mouth, releasing a world of flavor, the combination of the fluffy rice and potato with the crunchy carrot and Chinese scallion along with the great sauce was a game changer.
Ren:".....?! This is…" Sojiro looked at Ren's reaction, a bit of amusement in his eyes.
Ren:'The flavors behind the bold spiciness...this is good...the meat is so delicious...it was because he let the sauce simmer overnight? What is the secret?'
After the first bite, he kept eating more and more, however taking care to chew...he had a bad habit of swallowing food whole, it needed to stop, soon he finished the meal and took the warm coffee tasting the distinct flavor of the beans, and before long he finished his meal.
Ren:"Gochisousama, It was truly delicious." Ren smiled at the owner.
Sojiro:"Well...Thanks" Sojiro looked at the clock on the TV.
Sojiro:"It's time for you to go… Hurry to the school, You'll end up late if you get lost on the way... Even if it's an hour from now."
Ren pulled his bag from the counter and before opening the door Sojiro asked him to flip the sign to OPEN for him.
Ren:"We are already open?"
Sojiro:"Already...? If anything we're running late. Now you better hurry on out. You're going to be late if you get lost... Ikemen."
Ren rubbed his neck, another bad habit, and gave his goodbye to Sojiro and walked outside, carefully flipping the sign.

Yongen-Jaya Backstreets.
Exiting the cafe he spotted an old man, and gave a polite good morning, however, he was not prepared for a snarky response, it left him a bit stunned for a split second, but then politely shrugged it off.

Walking towards the backstreets, he spotted a cop next to the apartment with the wooden stairs, mounting his courage he closed the distance, taking out his glasses and putting it in his pocket, he looked the officer in the eye.
Ren:"Has something happened?"
Kind Officer:"Hm?... No, I am just here for patrol" He looked at Ren's uniform.
Kind Officer:"A student….you know, you should be careful on your way to school!" The officer gave a stern warning, most likely mentioning the string of accidents.

As he walked down the alleys he heard murmurs about the accident yesterday, constant mentionings of it started getting old, however Ren's irritation stopped when he remembered how tragic it was, trying to forget it or get irritated by it filled him with a sense of shame, soon he reached the station, filled with chatters of the media and the talk about accidents, Ren boarded the train.

The train was crowded and Ren had to stay near the door as people barged into each other when the train moved or bumped, he secured his bag by hugging it so no one could pickpocket something, noticing movement on his lower body he looked down, it was the thighs of a girl pressed against him, she was an average brown haired girl wearing a different uniform, she looked at his face, at his eyes with a blush, she was stunned, she didn't even notice that her knees were pressing painfully at his leg, so he moved a bit to free his poor leg, however even after moving she didn't stop staring at his face, it was kind of creepy.
Ren:'What's happening here?... Mother always said I was unusually attractive, but this is too much?... Yesterday I was raped in the same manner...Kira Azami...That woman...well it's a good thing it was an oblivious high school girl'
The rest of the ride had the uncomfortable feeling of being stared at, it was especially bad when he was noticed by other women as well, he looked at the LCD screen on the train to occupy his time, it was showing hopeful news, one of the victims in critical condition was expected to make a recovery, a 12-year-old boy in the first cart of the train was recovered from the wreck, it showed a brief interview with the grandparents of the boy, since his parents perished in the accident.

Shibuya Station.
Female Announcer:"Shibuya...This is Shibuya..."
Ren, relieved he was out of the crummy train headed to the walkway of the station, where he overheard a man arguing with a station attendant about his train being late, he said some very inconsiderate things about the accident and it made Ren sigh at the uncaring nature the man had.
Ren:'This society is--'
Ren:"Hmph, this society is rotten...I will destroy it if needs be...I will challenge it, this world"
Ren:'It's what I said, but do I have the power to change the world?'
The idle thoughts could help but surge into his mind.
Ren had to transfer to the Ginza line so he passed through the crowds and climbed up the stairs heading for the station square.
