During her travels for the day, Red eventually found herself in an area she had never been to before-- her previous stay in Spirale was short, so despite the fact she had been here before, there was still much the woman was unaware of. It was.. a carnival of sorts, nestled right by the beach of a ward that wasn’t hers. Despite the chilly weather, lights and sounds filtered out of the area; while dozens of people made their way into the attraction site. Though, she seemed disinterested in the fairgrounds before her; instead allowing herself to step further into the boardwalk, until she found something more her taste.

A small stage had been set up, and on it stood a live band; performing a song she had never heard of before. The singer’s loud vocals caught her attention; eyes brightening at the sounds as she found herself a place to stand and watch. The music was wonderful; the rhythm catchy, almost making her want to dance in her place.. but instead, all Red did was hum.

She quickly caught on to the song, following the notes as best as she could without her voice; pulling the Transistor close to her side as she did so. Though she seemed to be enjoying herself, a look of pain suddenly surfaced on Red’s expression; her hums disappearing as the band decided to take a break.

[ .. Red.. ] without even having to ask, the Transistor knew what was wrong, why she felt such pain. [ Let’s just.. let’s go somewhere else. You don’t-- ]

But before they could leave, Red suddenly noticed a young boy watching her; perhaps catching eye of the glowing orb on her wooden blade, and the voice that followed. Surely.. he hadn’t heard her in the sea of music, had he?

[ Oh. Hey, buddy. ] the Transistor greeted the blonde boy, as Red simply tilted her head. [ You alright there? ]

“Hey, look out!”

While maneuvering through the busy crowds that inhabited the beach parking lot, Adora quickly caught sight of a young boy travelling between the adults around him; one of them accidentally knocking into him, and causing his drink to drop from his hand. In one swift movement, Adora extended her arm out; quickly catching the melon shaped cup before it splattered all over the pavement below them.

“That was a close one..” she breathed a sigh of relief, her expression soon changing from concern to one that held a friendly smile; adjusting herself to hand the item back to the boy.

“Some people, huh? I guess when it’s this crowded, this kind of thing can happen.. but, I’m glad your money didn’t go to waste. You’re not hurt, are you?”

“The ones that control this place.. have even brought children here?” it was a thought that so easily slipped through Watanuki’s lips, unable to stop his surprise as the young boy soon came into his sights. Though he had not been here for long, the shop keeper had already seen a large array of different looking people; this child, however, was the first he had come across. Momentary concern was strewn across his brow, but the moment the blond had turned his attention to him, Watanuki soon realized that perhaps this one wouldn’t have much of a problem being here.

The feeling radiating from him only proved how much strength there was in that small body.

“Though, despite your age, you seem very capable of taking care of yourself.” A smile came to his lips, then; tilting his head ever so slightly as he made his approach. Watanuki had no intention of scaring the boy, or coming across as too overbearing; but in a world where no one knew one another, what harm was there to be friendly?

“Forgive me for rambling on before even introducing myself. My name is Watanuki.” as he neared, the young looking man bent his knees; arriving at a height that matched the other’s. He extended a hand, although not in his particular custom, hoping to aid in an easier introduction. “May I ask for yours?”
