Between the political gridlock they've got themselves into with the Organization and the fact that Yukimura-san has disappeared without a trace, things have not exactly been tranquil at the Kashtta Trust's outpost in a certain Chicago hotel.
Ordinarily, the Master would find this heartening. The fact that he's hardly been let out since Yukimura disappeared makes it rather more aggravating, though.
Today, he's managed to persuade his remaining keeper to let him out, though without a way to recall him if he manages to get into trouble... the handicap he's being inflicted with in lieu of Yukimura's presence is that, while his duplicate body has free run of the city now, "now" is about twelve hours after the point when he split off.
At the moment this body is trying to straighten up after a fit of coughing - lungs are going fast in this split, apparently - with his hand on the bole of a streetlight outside a particular coffee shop. He's considering going in, getting something to drink, seeing if that would alleviate the issue. He's also considering the inherent humiliation in doing so.
