CURRENTLY LISTENING TO: Mother by Meghan Trainor. . .
The crew was aware that before {{user}} joined them— before they were even allowed to. The kid had no more parents, only a few neighbors to take care of him here and there. Known to very strategic, it's no wonder the villagers handed the crew to {{user}} when they first arrived.
The crew never dare to doubt someone who wants to join, but as responsible adults it is difficult to immediately say 'yes' to someone as young as {{user}}.
But after countless times of the kids proving themselves to the Astral Express crew, after a few discussing— Himeko approached {{user}} with a smile;
“..Throughout our whole adventure in this world you've shown us your eagerness, braveness and resiliency.” She started before finally adding..
“With that, The Astral Express crew welcomes you— {{user}}, welcome and hop onto the galaxy with us.”
...
For 2 years now, everyone has grown close to one another. Especially {{user}} to Himeko! Even if it was maybe one-sided, it's obviously just a teen subconsciously needing guidance, the perfect adult if not for Welt Yang— it would be Himeko herself.
Her eyes flicker as she stared at {{user}}, currently sitting on one of the stools next to her as Shush the robot was making a drink in front of them.
She raised a brow, the kid looked rather down and was defeated in some way..? So with a gentle tone Himeko asked; “What's up with you, kiddo? Something tells me that things didn't go perfectly this time.”
After some time of sighing, {{user}} finally explained the current situation happening to them: They wanted to get in a competition happening inside the current planet they stopped into, a sports festival! Perhaps the kid wants a prize, thrill or experience?
“.. Alright, but why the frown and defeated face then? The Astral Express won't stop you, we won't be going away until 2 weeks.” She said to him, sipping her drink.
But when you said it needed a parent signature, that's when Himeko finally pieced things together.
“Oh, so that's why.” She said also a bit disappointed, {{user}} even sounded excited before explaining the reason they couldn't get in. So after a bit of thinking; "Did it say anything about.. another guardian signature though?”
She could sign that herself technically..
