Before the boy knew it, he felt an obstruction in his steps, causing him to trip rather quickly. Looks like he had a Lolo moment.

“ Unh... ”

He pushed himself off the ground, emitting a soft grunt as he got back on his feet. Geez... he could definitely see why Lunatea and Phantomile didn’t have this...concrete stuff all over the place.

“ Ahh... that hurts... ”

After a fall like that, it’d take him a second to get his bearings back. Still, at least it happened. Giving a soft shake of his head, he recovered a moment later...

... As he took a look at his Right hand, the one that always held his Wind Ring... Empty.

He was confused for a second... before he saw it had just finished flicking off of someone. It had flung out of his hand, right into them! He quickly ran over, running forward and grabbing the ring that had by then fallen.

Shows a doodle of a cherry blossom. Spring. He totally doesn’t have a bias.

In all honesty, she didn’t expect to see this person (if he is a person) again. With this place many people call, ‘Hive City’, there didn’t seem to be easy to find someone or something rather familiar. It’s probably not same friend, no, it can’t.

With slow steps, the child approached the other. “H-hello...” She greeted with her eyes downcast, unable to gaze at the other’s eyes (which is literally only two dots). Did this being have the familiar aura? It was both a yes and a no, probably this city was getting to her.

Barely restraining his urge to chuckle at his own great jokes (hopefully everyone in the city appreciated them and their minds were taken off the subject of the mirror world and all that had happened, if even for a single moment - that had been the intention, to make people happy or forget worries for a bit ) - Mario paused to adjust his hat: now, what kind of jokes should he make next? Would making a concert ticket joke about ‘tickets to a gun show’ be a good next pun, or a bit too obvious? Someone probably made that joke already.

Variety was super important when cheering people up with such amazing jokes as these! However, any further puns were (thankfully for the people of Citta) cut short at spotting something...strange across the road, staying far away from it as if afraid - but the something wasn’t any distinct face. Just covered in black - like a moving shadow.

Oh man, had Vivian been dragged here too? No, wait - this shadow was waay too tall to be Vivian. They seemed even taller than Weege! Too curious - and also concerned by the evident fear of the road - to let the matter go, Mario waited - and then made his way over once there was no traffic.

No problem. Wow, the shadow siren was even taller up close.

“Hey! Mister-a Shadow! Did you-a need some help getting across? You-a seemed really worried about-a the road.”
