☆彡 Some flashes of lightening had been the only thing odd about that day. No rain preceded them, nor did Mika hear any distinct thunder afterwards. Odd, he decided, but didn’t pay too much mind to the strangeness of it, continuing on his walk as though the ordeal hadn’t happened. Perhaps subconsciously, though, he turned his course in the direction of where they’d been.

The boy failed to pay enough attention as he rounded an alley corner. By the time he noticed the other person, it was too late to avoid walking directly into them. Almost stumbling backwards in an attempt to get out of their way, he spewed out a string of apologies, only to trail off when he looked up.

But the boy was staring, and if the stranger wasn’t a hallucination, then he was being rude, so he averted his gaze. “Ah… h-hello….?”
