It was nighttime and the streets were lit brightly as families and couples walked along, paying no mind to a certain quiet prince.
Alfonse wasn’t entirely sure if he should head home - no not home, but rather his apartment. It was rather lonely without his sister or Anna. He even missed his commander’s crazy plans. But it was fine - there was a reason he was stuck here in this place they deemed Wonderland. Perhaps he was to play a role in an upcoming battle, though it seemed like no danger lurked in the city.
He walked past a nightclub as the frenetic beats blared loudly. He winced - it looked lively and wild - the opposite of what he considered a fun time. But the people inside looked like they were having fun with their friends and a part of him ached for some social interaction.
Alfonse buried that feeling - no friends, not in Askr nor here in Wonderland. Allies, yes but friends? That just led to someone getting hurt.
He doesn’t dwell on it much longer because he suddenly finds himself tripping and landing face first on the ground. Everyone saw.
