It's December. The air grew colder, the sky grew darker, and you felt so alone.

Ryoji was gone now- within the short time he was around, you'd unfortunately gotten extremely attached to the transfer (who apparently was death incarnate you still hadn't quite grasped that). You missed the idle chit-chat, the peaceful walks, and the way that idiot never failed to make a stupid smile form on your face.

But he'd disappeared, gone for good, as far as you knew, anyways.

Sitting on the edge of your bed, you stare down at the music box he'd gifted you, your fingers idly tracing over the patterns carved into the wood, before standing, swiftly moving to place it back on your bedside table. While up, you grab your evoker and stuff it into a bag with some healing items and your weapon. Slowly but surely you sneak to your window, prying open the window to sneak out into the night.

Sure you technically weren't supposed to be out this late, since the Dark Hour is dangerous and those sort of things...but that didn't matter to you. You had a set goal in mind and you're not giving it up yet.

You make it to the Moonlight Bridge, the green moon hanging low in the sky. The walk was long, but it was worth it. Seeing as how that familiar yellow scarf is in your sights.

"...I know you're there, {{user}}." Ryoji turns to look at you, his hands in weak fists at his sides.

"What are you doing here, anyways? You shouldn't be here, especially at this hour. You're foolish."
