POP!
crack.
A proud display of marksmanship, no doubt about it, and one that drew the eye of several who had simply been minding their own business in the streets of Sector 004. It was for the sake of one such individual that Naoto had drawn her BB gun in the first place - so engrossed in his sketchbook that he didn’t seem to have noticed the simple earthenware planter that swung above his head on a far-too-worn rope.
But any good detective was aware of their surroundings and how they may change at any given time. Keen eyes had caught sight of how the rope had continued to fray under the combined weight of the pot and the plant it housed, and Naoto hadn’t spared a single moment in drawing her toy gun once she realized that harm could have possibly come to the young man if she allowed things to go on the way they were.
A well-aimed pellet fired at a crucial moment is more than enough to knock a target off course.
Rather than leave him startled after the rapid succession of events, Naoto approaches after holstering her BB gun.
“Are you alright? That was a bit of a close call.”
