(Setting) Downtown Rooftop
| "Apart from the radio operator, nobody can bother me. Nobody can stop me."
>He stands up, and walks over to the grill, finishing and moving the meats over to a plate.
"Damn good stuff."
| >The bandaged man walks over to the edge, and sits down, legs dangling over the lights of the city. He eats his plate of food, occasionally throwing a bone off the roof.
"Who will I be tomorrow? AnoMeat? Shepherd? I can't let Shepherd come back, not when its all going this well."
| >He stands up and walks over to the roof access door, where he grabs a backpack.
"And all the problems with Ferris stopped me from getting to the container. What a shit month."
| "I guess I've been a lot more lost than awake."
>He begins running at the edge of the building.
"Goodbye world."
>He leaps off.
| >Seconds later, AM pulls his chute from his backpack, and safely lands on another rooftop.
"...huh."
| "I didn't know you were into parkour."
>Cames a young voice from the left. Familiar blond boy sits in the portable chair near the edge of the rooftop. Near him is a small table, bottle of wine and a glass on it. He puts the book he has been reading down on his knees.
"I thought I told you that I'll find you myself, was it really necessary to track me all the way up here?"
>Boy in the yellow buisness suit asks, his voice clearly indicating his irritation.
| "I didn't know I was in to park whatever myself."
>AM orientates himself, confused about his landing.
"Did you do this? I was supposed to land on the ground, not another rooftop."
| "Huh? No, I was finally, first time within the last two days, having a short break, some little personal time alone, and then you just sorta fell down here."
>'King' sighed, and took out a pack of cigarettes, taking one himself and offering another to AM.
"And did what? I am a human, not a magician. You sure you calculated wind's strength and direction correctly before you jumped off wherever you came from?"
| "Oh. Well have a good one. I was only trying to kill myself."
>AM begins walking towards the roof access.
| "Care to explain me a reason for such a drastic change of plans? Last time we met you agreed to sign a contract with me, and were even eager to bring someone else along."
>Boy put the second cigarette away and lit his own.
"I would strongly advise against killing yourself anyway. Death is not all that much pleasant, believe me, I know this at first hand."
| "I just have some... Personal reasons. I'd ask about the whole death thing, but I got some more things to do. Have a good vacation."
>AM says, as he leaves the building.
| >'King' followed the bandaged man with his eyes as AM left the building.
>He poured some wine from the bottle into the glass, took a sip, and put his cigarette back into his mouth.
"Kids these days." >He said to himself and returned to reading.

| >Towering over most building, is a skyscraper. Atop it, Is a roof access door, and some air conditioning fan units. Near one of the ledges, stands a portable grill various meats cooking on it. Nearby, in a camp chair, sits the bandaged man.
"Nothing like a good last meal."
>He says, taking a swig from his bottle.
