2046

:13:22

On my way out. I noticed a
very familiar number

:13:28

If I hadn't run into her that night
I wouldn't have seen that number

:13:32

...and I wouldn't have written '2046'

:13:46

Can I help you?

:13:48

Is Miss Lulu in?

:13:50

Lulu? There's no Miss Lulu here

:13:53

There was a Mimi...

:13:55

...but she's moved out

:13:58

But I was here two days ago!

:14:01

Do you know where she's gone?

:14:03

No! What do you want with her?

:14:06

Nothing. really

:14:08

I have her key

:14:10

I wanted to return it

:14:11

You can give it to me

:14:13

Thanks

:14:20

You want to rent the room?

:14:22

I'm just back from abroad

:14:24

I don't have my own place yet

:14:25

If the room's vacant
I could take a look

:14:27

This is just a small hotel

:14:30

But our residents are
all decent people

:14:33

What's your line of work?

:14:35

I write for newspapers

:14:36

Great! A fellow artist!

:14:42

I haven't always done this

:14:44

I used to be an artist too

:14:46

Really?

:14:47

I took singing lessons
in Harbin

:14:50

Back then. I was a tenor

:14:53

It'll be a pleasure to
have you here

:14:56

When will you move in?

:14:58

As soon as possible
