How curiously the time changed in this strange week, fast forwarding or slowing down at its own decided pace, giving no mercy to the city dwellers who traversed as regularly as normal. The NPCs had been affected differently from the rest of the experiments, swaying along with the time in a most annoying format. By the time he’d taken a bite of his parfait, day flicked to night as if by a light switch, and an employee had spoken politely, ‘I’m sorry, sir, but we’re closing now.’
How outrageous.
“Excuse me? Haven’t you realized yet that your time’s all messed up? I bought this just a moment ago. Look, the ice cream’s not even--” The ice cream had, indeed, melted and dripped off his spoon.
“...” This wasn’t just outrageous, it was preposterous. “No fair.”
He was noticeably annoyed at having to obey the rules, but given the circumstances, this wasn’t his mistake. As he stood from his booth to greet the emptied cafe lounge, his vision immediately caught the face of the only remaining tenant. It was the youthful appearance of the Vongola’s cloud guardian, shrunk by the time’s odd effects.
Never mind listening to rules just yet.
“Oh my, Hibari-chan!” Ignoring the poor employees wishes, the Millefiore hopped from his seat to join the raven haired fellow at his booth, who didn’t seem to want to move either. “It’s been a very long time since I’ve seen you.”
