Stein looked up as he passed through the towering entrance to Death City's library. It was one thing he had missed when he had left the city after the train wreck that his partnership with Spirit had turned into. Stein paused as he made his way over to the back issues of the bio-medical journals. Was that--? Concentrating a moment, he realized that he was sensing his ex-partner's soul, in a library, of all places. He changed directions and strode quietly to the periodicals, where he saw Spirit deeply engrossed in a newspaper. He cleared his throat. Spirit looked up. "Senpai--"

I didn't really have a favorite activity for Stein, so I just picked a random fun one. But, like all of my fics, no matter how minor, this fits in with my personal canon for Stein, which tells me that he left Death City after the breakup with Spirit. Probably went to college elsewhere. Maybe Germany. I've been thinking that he's German, since Stein is a German name...
