"Today is a very unlucky day," the old man muttered as he added
various esoteric ingredients to his stew pot. He dipped his ladle into the
pot. "Needs more oregano."
	He stared into the stewpot. Anyone besides the old man, perhaps,
would have seen only the dubious ingredients of Mulligan stew. Those
anyones, however, would not have possessed the twisted vision of the old
man, much less his excedingly furry bare feet.
	The old man stared. And stared. Morning birds started singing all
over Nerima-ku, but he noticed not a thing.
	"A boy," he said finally. "A boy who is not all a boy and a girl.
And the boy's face . . . the lines of ill luck are written on it as clearly
as they are one the other one's for all that this boy is prettier." He
peered deeper into the pot and risked falling in. "He is somehow
intertwined with the other one . . . and perhaps my cousin as well? Not
yet."
	He sighed. "Today is going to be a very, very unlucky day." He
sniffed the air. "And it will be most unlucky in Furinkan-cho."
	"Lucky for them, I'm on my way."
