She was only vaguely aware of what he looked like.
All of what she knew about him were rumors, retold words that were passed down from person to person until they reached her own ears. Stories on what he was like and what he did. Maybe even some of these were programmed into her as a sort of memory. She didn’t know. Either way, there was intrigue upon the prospect of possibly meeting him here, in the city. It was possible. That much she was certain of. But would it happen? That much she wasn’t so certain of.
People came in and out of the city daily it seemed. There were many faces that passed by that she didn’t know, and would never know as they disappeared without a trace. Maybe there were more people she knew, that just went in and out. Maybe she would spend her whole time here without meeting him.
She already had spent a year here and hadn’t.
Still, from the vague descriptions she had been given, she was fairly certain the person standing in front of her was in fact, him. Perhaps it was wishful thinking, but there was still the likelihood the person in front of her was in fact the person she had been passively searching for. Her sister was standing next to her, hand in hand. It was just a simple walk around the sectors, she hadn’t thought to come across anything of interest.
Then again, anything could happen in this city.
“......Hello,” she started, voice quiet, as she wasn’t sure what the reaction would be.
“Would you...happen to be Chihiro Fujisaki...?”
