[ Mion was gone.
It didn't take Rika long to figure it out. She had lost Mion before. She'd gotten used to having friends be droned permanently, so didn't waste her time hoping it was temporary anymore. Her immediate reaction was to go visit her "big brother" and remind herself that sometimes people do come back and they do care about her just as much as when they left, but was greeted by a drone. His drone. Again. ]
[ Park ]
[ So now Rika is in the park. She likes her new Mayfield family very much, but being in that house reminds her of the parents she used to have and lost. Enough that she can't bear to be there when thinking these thoughts. She picks a tree to sit under, legs pulled to her chest and chin resting on her knees. Quiet, gaze lowered... trying to pull herself together again when something occurs to her. ]
My birthday passed... sixteen now... huh? [ She bites her lip. ] I'm growing up without everyone...
