[Everything looks pretty normal! There’s nobody else near the museum right now, though, just Shin and NPC-san, so it’s probably time to head back.
He will note that the street seems to be getting even darker, even with the lights from the store and street lamps. NPC-san doesn’t seem to notice, though they are keeping as close to Shin as possible without getting in the way.
(They’re probably a little bit in the way.)]
O-okay… Are you gonna find a way out? For all of us?
Okay welp, back to the mall area they go. Someone's having fun messing around with the brightness settings though. He'll remain cautious in case a void suddenly opens up in front of them or something like that, but his pace will remain steady (even with NPC-san being kind of clingy). Can they make it back to the fair at least...?]
I can't make any guarantees. You've been here longer than me, and you probably know more about this city than I do. But I'm not going to lie down and die here, and I won't sit back and expect someone to come save me either. [A shrug.] If you're willing to take responsibility for your own lives, then I don't mind helping.
It might take a bit longer to get back with NPC-san in the way, but they do make it to the fair! No void.
Yet?
Hard to say.
NPC-san nods slowly. They still seem uncertain, but.]
I don't know if everyone... wants to be saved, but I don't want to die like this. I don't - I don't even know if they're dying, but whatever it is that's happening...
[They almost got so close to it... It's a scary thought.]

Anyway, if they can make it to the fair, then let's keep racking up those steps to see if there's anything up by the mall.]
...Yeah.
[He can't really provide words of comfort here, but.]
What's your name?
no subject
[That shouldn’t be such a hard question to answer, And yet.]
I don’t remember.
[Hm.
They can skirt around the edges of the fair, at least, but the mall doors are locked. Seems just the fair is open.]
no subject
okay but hypothetically, can he kick the doors open
Jokes aside, that gets him to turn around and look at NPC-san. Their features are indistinct, right? Does that include their clothes too?]
What was the date when you got here?
no subject
The… 30th, I think?
no subject
[Hm. Okay, he's just going to remove the red tie he's wearing while he waits for an answer.]

Anyway, one more shenanigan before we go back to the fair. He'll hold out his tie to NPC-san.]
Tie this around your arm.
[If NPC-san complies, does the tie also go out of focus, or...?]
no subject
If they meet again, anyways.
But now might be a good time to head to the main event.]

I'llhe'll stop fucking around and check out what's going on in that tent!!]
