[A - Train Platform] [Mika hadn’t intended to leave the platform at all. As soon as his orientation ended, he’d just turned around and sat right back in the train, planning to wait there until it departed and brought him back home. But... he waited a long time. Long enough that he found himself getting dizzy and light-headed, in that way he knew meant he needed to eat something, quick. So he’d finally left the platform to try and find a snack, only to hear the train departing as soon as he did.]
Ugh... ‘m so stupid... why couldn’t I just stick it out a teeny bit longer...?
[He’s muttering to himself, munching on a small bag of hard candy that he’d gotten from a vending machine, and sitting on the steps of the platform. He might’ve messed up, but if he waits long enough, another train might show and then he can go home, right?]
[B - Stone Garden] [At some point, Mika has to accept that just waiting around wasn’t going to accomplish anything. If there was no train coming, then there was no choice but to explore and try to find some other way out. But he’s quick to distraction - the sight of a park drew in his curiosity, and the stone garden quickly captured it. He weaves in and out between the statues, overwhelmed by their number, and disconcerted by the state they’ve been left in.]
Mm... guess no one’s taken care of y’all in a while, huh? Ain’t that a shame, when someone had t’ work so hard to make ya... [The few that aren’t covered in vines are really good, too, at least to his still-untrained eyes. After a few moments of considering, he grins and kneels down at the base of one of the most heavily grown-over.] Don’t ya worry, I’ll lend ya a hand~ Just wait! [The roots really are awful stubborn, but Mika’s not afraid of a little hard work!]
[C - Laundromat] [Mika could practically hear Shu in the back of his head scolding him for getting his clothes so dirty on his very first day here. It wasn’t a bad thought - in fact, it eased his nerves and even put a little smile on his face as he sat in his underclothes and waited for the dryer to its run.]
Eh...? Um...
[But when it does, the outfit he pulls out of is something much fancier than the black jumpsuit he'd put in. And even just from a quick look, it’s plainly too small for him. Mika just stares at it for a moment, then drops it like it’s burnt him.]
I musta... musta gotten th’ wrong one... [He doesn’t think about how his eyes never left the dryer, or question how something of Nazuna’s even got here. He just starts going right down the line of dryers, ignoring anyone else in the building, trying to find his actual clothes.]
