Finally — It was winter! So that meant weeks off of school for break. Wasn’t that so fun, especially for Rui?

That meant more time by himself… more time with his troupe… more time inventing stuff… he was giddy at the thoughts. Besides, he had a new idea in mind he wanted to try out.

After a long afternoon’s work of crafting a brand new invention, he decided to take a small stroll around the neighbourhood, touring around the nook’s and crannies of the concrete surrounding his boots.

After a few minutes walk, though, he came across you, sat and scrolling on your phone.

“Oya—? Hello, there… are you cold, at all?”

With a civet grin on his face, he turned to face you.
