'Take 5' were their code back in university years to indicate their plan to hangout at the usual place, Sakura. Located three blocks away from their alma mater, Sakura was their place to blow off steam.





They unexpectedly encountered the hidden place when Satoshi helped out Sakura's landlady, Satomi, from harassment in the park at late night. He was on his way back to the university dorm that night, taking a shortcut crossing the park from station.





As token of appreciation, Satomi offered some money but was rejected by Satoshi. Instead she invited him to her place which he agreed to visit and to bring his friends along as well. So when Daniel and Sebastian heard the story, they went together to visit Satomi's place.





Sakura is a bar that located in a very unique place, a basement of a two storey high law firm building. The layout was simple - a 10 high chairs long counter with one billiard table on the left side, few tables and chairs and two clean lavatories. A totally one normal bar layout.





Once the trio made acquaintances with Satomi, they began to patron Sakura. Whenever they wanted to relief their pent up stresses, they would come to Sakura and have a drink or two, taking break from their routine. Thus, the code 'take 5' come in.





Sebastian reached the familiar building. It was years since they last gathered - the three of them. Overwhelm with his own feeling, Sebastian found himself reminisce the past. He stood quite a long time at the entrance, losing himself in his memory.

Heard a clear polite voice from behind startled Sebastian, reeled his thought back to Earth. He turned his head back, hoping to see that familiar face. A women in her late 40s but still maintain her beauty smiled back to him.





"Satomi." @@
