Thorn
Shimeji sat at Taco Bell in the middle of the day and noticed an attractive stranger walk by. Probably should just focus on my Quesadilla he thought to himself, but it seemed like the perfect opportunity to spread the wings of his newfound freedom. Aojiru had released Shimeji as his concubine after Same found out about Shimeji's status back home in Aizawa. Had politics gotten involved. Mostly yes. Was Shimeji technically free? Also yes. But there were constituences, well not really. After Shimeji had broken Same's heart for the final time he was disallowed from setting foot in all of Gaia, Aizawa, and Xinjiang. Not that it made much of a difference anyway. Shimeji was still obsessed with getting Enoki back but this town didn't seem bad. Tourmaline. Pretty name for a town.

Shimeji waved at the stranger who after a time noticed the wave. After an awkward exchange of moving hands and reading lips the stranger walked into the taco bell.
"Uhm, hi..." The stranger began.
"Nice to meet you, name's Shimeji by the way...I just waved you over here cuz I thought you were cute!" Shimeji replied.
"Oh...uhm well that's very nice of you to say...I'm uhm I'm thorn"
"Yaba (Oh no)"
"Yab- ya what? What does that mean?"
"Who would name their kid thorn? That's an awful name..."
"Well my brother's name is Bramble...so I guess my parents are just bad with names...question mark..."
"You did not just use question mark in an actual conversation..."
"I did..."
"That's not cute..."
"Well...I guess it was nice meeting you Shimeji..."
"Wait wait wait, hold up, actually I'm obsessed with my ex husband and I need some kind of sex or something to get him off my mind..."
"Sex?"
"Yea, and you look cute so I just thought that maybe it would help me forget about him..."
"User!"
"What?"
"Your a User! You use people as stand-ins just because you can't fuck your ex"
"I am not a User!"
"User user user user!"
"Ok are we having sex or not"
"We are yes"
"Ok well let's get the fuck out of this taco John's"
"This...this is a taco bell..."
