[ It's been some time after the reunion party, since both Oria and Sinclair have things to do. When Sinclair's work takes him to near Silicon Valley at a hotel with his team, Oria definitely makes sure to clear out his schedule for at least several days so that he could go on a date and just hang out with Sinclair in general while he's still around. There's absolutely no compromise for this, and this has always been the case even before he dated Sinclair—he would never compromise about taking leave for his get-together with family and friends. This is how he manages to maintain the work-life balance, just barely... he wonders how difficult this will be when he actually starts going to school again. He did have the condition that he would be essentially giving up his freedom when he starts his uni semester even though his parents did approve for him to live alone some place near the school.

But hey, at least he can drive now. No, Fragment was not an accurate depiction of his normal driving skills. He picks up Sinclair and then finally arrive at the skate rink! There's an actual skate park attached to it, but that portion is outdoors.

There's a lot of people here for some reason, which makes Oria slightly exasperated. ]

Should we go to a different place...? If I knew there would be this many people, I would have rented out the entire place beforehand.
