As expected, she came on time. Somewhat unfitting jazz music circles through the restaurant. It's overcrowded. She took a seat.
"I'd think I'm lucky to have booked a reservation the night before." I took a sip from my drink.
She pushes the plates away and sets her journal on the table, completely missing my gaze. Then, she took out a pen, occasionally making small edits. We sat quietly for a while.
"You're quite troublesome." She said.
"If that's what you think."
"No one else would behave as badly." Remita looks at me.
"Perhaps we just happened to meet on certain occasions." I raised my glass.
"Fine occasion for you to waltz in, you won't leave unless you're sure that you stirred something up."
"Oh don't be difficult." I said, "Haven't your news editing job already gained you enough fame?"
"But nobody ever bothered to check who wrote the papers. Instead, everyone knew who you are."
"The one who keeps winning the lottery?" I chuckled.
"Come on."
She stuffs the journal in her bag. The dim candle lights are starting to burn out.
"I'll stay with you." I said.
"For god's sake, sod off somewhere."
"Do you believe in such gods?"
"Don't change the topic." She said.
"It's only been a month," I said. "We're all stuck in this damned place."
"You're a goner."
"I can't help it, you know that."
Remita sighs. She crossed her fingers.
I laughed.

Naruto: The Ember Tomorrow
Synopsis: I enjoyed my job. I loved my life. I truly did not wish to die, but fate had other plans in store. Reborn into the body of Sasuke Uchiha just after the massacre of his clan, will I be able to forge a better path in this world of blood and death? Author's Note: This is a Naruto Isekai. I do not own Naruto nor am I making any monetary profit off of this fiction. It is purely for fun and growing my own skills as an author. This story will have many elements of the Naruto anime obviously, but there will be twists and turns. I don't much care for sticking too closely to canon. The fic will also delve somewhat into philosophy as the protagonist was a professor of such before his transmigration. I've marked the content tags of Gore, profanity, sexual content, and traumatizing content to allow myself the freedom to write as needed, but am unlikely to be excessively explicit in any of these areas; still, better to have the tag and the freedom as needed. Anyways, I hope you enjoy and feedback is always welcome.
