Well, the point is, I don't know if you should consider this as spoilers. I mean a little bit I guess but it's set after the manga even, so I don't think it should be that bad.

Also, this was such a difficult one to write. I liked the idea but dear God was it difficult to push through. It was nice seeing it all fall into place, though, so I hope you enjoy this little story dedicated to our salty dinosaur.

The life in the city was rather busy even with just college or work. Every evening when I would walk to the small flat I shared with a friend I think about how I would give anything for just a week without having to stay up late to study and then get up early for classes because after work was the only time I could study. It was the only free time I had. It's not always like that and I do have some free time occasionally but it's mostly filled up with me catching up with all the assignments I've missed so far. It was the last semester anyway. Only a few more months.

Before our final exams, we were supposed to visit the Sendai City Museum for the newest exhibition. As Art majors, we usually had at least one test in Contemporary Art based on an exhibition we would visit as a class together. This year, Murakami Takashi is having his exhibition at Sendai Museum and I would not miss it for anything in the world. Even if I didn't have the stupid test that forced me to see the exhibition. Good thing was that the school paid for our tickets I guess.

My flatmate and I were in front of the museum way earlier than the class visit started. With our university IDs, we were let to explore the rest of the museum while our class gathered. "Let's check the archaeology wing," my flatmate, Aya, said. I followed after her silently, studying all the people around us. There were not that many people at this hour, however, there were still a few groups led by the curators. Very few were walking around aimlessly like the two of us. 

Once in the archaeology wing, Aya and I split. She wanted to see the bit on first humans, as always, interested in the cavemen. If only she didn't share the same interest regarding the dating life. I wish only once she brings a guy home that has a higher development level than Australopithecus africanus.

I, on the other hand, went into the section with dinosaurs. No matter how many times I visit the museum, I always have to go there first. Sendai City Museum had some really amazing specimen and the detailed descriptions by each bone or skeleton were very interesting to read. By now I nearly knew all of them by heart.

Somewhere during my wander around the museum, I got tangled up with a group that was listening to a curator. I just wanted to see the new exhibit that the museum got and they were standing near-by. I somehow slithered my way through the group and stood in front of the glass case that had a single bone fracture. As I was reading the description next to it, someone called out to me. "Hey! We're moving to the next unit," a guy around my age said. I looked up from the description, unaware he was speaking to me until I saw him staring at me. I arched an eyebrow at him.

"Oh, no, I'm not part of the group. I'm here for the Murakami Takashi exhibition," I said with a small smile and watched as the blonde guy's eyebrow arched to match mine. His opal eyes flickered over my frame and he tilted his head back ever so slightly to look down at me. His lips stretched in a faint smirk as if whatever he came up with in his sick mind was the funniest thing ever. His glasses flashed at the odd angle, reflecting the lighting around us and I was forced to look away. "I don't know if you've noticed but you're in the wrong section. Murakami Takashi is in the Art Gallery," he said and pushed his glasses up. He couldn't say anything that was mean to me because I was a visitor but his tone called me a straight-up idiot. "Really? I'm not in the Art Gallery? My God, and I was just thinking Picasso outdid himself with this one," I said sarcastically and pointed my thumb at the glass case featuring a single bone fraction.
