Rank 4

[doudemoe]

[action: Downtown]

[There's a tiny blue-haired boy, asking the drones about something. But going by his sullen look, he's not having much luck. So now he's approached you to ask:]

E-excuse me? How do I get home?


 [action: Park]

[There is now a tiny blue-haired boy, attempting to play with one of the dogs in the Mayfield streets. What do?]


[action: Bakery]

[Now Minato's hungry, but as he has no useful money (no one takes yen 8( ), he's resorted to window-shopping all the tasty-looking baked goods.]

[prefool]

[Looking up curiously. How could you tell?]

Um...a little.

[kinship]

[He gives the other boy a warm smile, gesturing to the door.]

I'll get you something, if you like? We have to look out for each other here.

[prefool]

[So many people want to feed the kid. Time paradox much?. Let's say this is the next day.]

Okay.

What's your name?

[kinship]

[Time paradoxes are clearly the way forwards...]

Cain, and yours?

[prefool]

Minato. [If we're skipping over last names...]

Nice to meet you.

[kinship]

It's nice to meet you too, are you new here?

[He doesn't remember seeing Minato at the elementary school before, at least.]

[prefool]

Yeah...do a lot of people come in like this?

[One minute he was at home, getting prepared for the Moonlight Bridge opening. Next, he was in some stranger's house, with someone who claimed to be his mom.]

[kinship]

[He feels a little sorry for Minato. Arriving here was never pleasant, nobody could prepare you for the shock of it, that's for sure.]

Everyone, I'm afraid, we all just wake up here one day.

[prefool]

...Maybe it's a dream.

[That has to be it. There's no other sensible explanation as to how he was plucked from Japan to America.]

But, everything feels so real.

[kinship]

I don't think it's a dream, I'm sorry.

[He's heard of lucid dreams, but this is... there are too many people here from too many worlds.]

I know it's hard to accept, I still don't believe it sometimes, but strange as it is... it is true.

[prefool]

[No, he doesn't want to accept it.]

But how did I get here?

sorry for the delay ):

[kinship]

Again, I don't know.

[He hates that he's so ignorant, and more than that... he hates admitting it.]

But we're trying to find all that out, I promise.
