Ah yes, the shopping mall. It was a trap, as many would say. People would go in, and get lost among wallet-emptying items— never to return.. it was by far the best past time, in Mizuki’s opinion. She didn’t mind going by herself, but the animator more or less liked to go with someone. That way they could carry their bags, or provide a new viewpoint for a makeup product.

To her dismay, almost all of her friends were busy upon immediately contacting them on the breezy spring weekend it was. The sole person who accepted the invite was Rui, which was surprising considering that the director had been busy visiting an opera troupe in all his free time. Mizuki didn’t think much of it, simply happy that someone could join. And it had been quite a long time since the last time they went out together. It was long overdue by now!

Currently, the pair was in a popular accessory shop. They had gotten drinks a few minutes prior and decided to stop by here because of all the cute bows. Setting their drink down for a moment, Mizuki inspected the accessory she saw in the corner of her pink eyes, smiling and tucking some of her long light pink hair back as she turned to where Rui would be. Well.. would be. Where.. where did he go!?

“Ruuuuui!? Hey, Rui! Where'd you run off to!?”
