"Thanks Antero," Nea takes the coffee and sips at it placing the cup down. She taps away at the keys again. Through all this she seemed to forget the tension that was between them earlier, but realizing it made her think. She wish she could make it better, and not screw up what they had before she opened her mouth. Finishing up some content she started some codes, to mark places and give her a reminder and got up from the computer. "Your turn."

Antero takes a seat and starts looking up comics and links to other sites. He bookmarks the links and saves the comics. Any tension between him and Nea he has forgotten. He has too short an attention span to stay to dwell on things. He gets distracted from looking for links and starts surfing the internet randomly.
"Hey a Smurf Shrine and you can actually dowload episodes."

Nea leaned past Antero to grab her cup of coffee, "That's cool." She laughs and sits on the couch. Shes tired for some reason but doesn't know why. Sitting on the couch she admires Antero from behind, making sure not to watch too long and make it obvious, she didn't want the tension to return.

I get up, feeling a strange attachment to the monitor, and force myself away from it, seeing it as an addiction.
"I'm gonna go into the other room for a little bit." I say vaguely, then head into the other room.

"It's getting kinda late. I think I'm going to head to bed." Antero gets up and shuts down the computer. He walks out to the living room.
"The three of us should sleep outside someday under the stars. That would be fun."

Nea watched Niko get up and walk away. "Hmm ok that was a little weird. Niko are you ok?" Nea calls out to the other room.
"Yeah that would be fun," nea smiles. "Good night Antero."

"Yeah, maybe we can plan that sometime." Antero says as he heads for his room.
"Goodnight." He then enters his room and shuts the door behind him.
(Remember everyone that this board will be shut down for 24 hrs either today, tomorrow, or wednesday for the upgrade. )

Nea sighs when Antero closes the door, she holds her cup and stares at the wall. "Maybe...Maybe not."

Since it is mother's day, Heikki heads to the cemetary with flowers for his mother. He drops them on her grave and sits there thinking. He knows there is no god or afterlife, and that she is long decayed, but coming here, doing that ritual of bringing flowers, is a comfort to him. He does it more for himself than for her.
After spending some time with his mother, he decides to take a walk through the city.

I walk through Helsinki with a strange mixture of emotions. I think about Salome and Heikki, and the fact that it's mother's day and I never knew my mother...
The atmosphere couldn't be any more cliche, it's raining, and I'm listening to Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. The only thing missing is me crying, which would just wash away in the rain anyways. I feel like a walking goth poem... My eyes are kept low, as my mind wanders, and I end up bumping into someone. I quickly turn around, and begin apologizing.
"Ah, sorry sorry, you alright..?" I ask, then notice it's Heikki. "Heikki... Hello..." I say, taking out my waterproof earbud headphones and sliding them into my trenchcoat.
"...What are you doing out..?" I ask awkwardly.

"Uh...oh hey." Heikki says. Since it is raining and he has no umbrella or raingear, he is soaked.
"Well it's Mother's Day (actually I don't think Finland has it on the same day as the Americans but whatever) so I brought her some flowers."

"Oh, that's great, she must think you're the best son in the world going to see her out in the rain like this! Where does she live..?"

"She died when I was about 8 years old...of cancer." Heikki replies. If it happened last week, it might have bothered him, but he is pretty distant from that pain now.
"I went to ...her grave of course." He adds, thinking that Shura might think that he has his mother in a freezer or something.

"Oh, oh..." I say, as though I had just insulted his mother... Which I think I did... I stand there awkwardly, looking down at the pavement.
"I ah... Never knew my mother..." I reply out of some sort of sympathy, and some sort of obligation to say 'hey I don't have a mom either!'

"Oh, what happened to her?" He asks, interested that they have something in common. "It's a little rainy, want to get some coffee."
