[ Nothing in this place quite made sense, and with the rest of her friends around, it was hard not to be intimidated and, more than that, just a bit afraid. While she did her best to hide it, her uncertainty was obvious in her mannerism and in the fact that she did her very best to become one with the crowd.
There was no fog here, so her glasses would be useless, but that didn't mean she wouldn't try. Even if she was more than a bit uncertain about things, that didn't mean that she shouldn't be on the alert. Danger could come at any side. She wasn't confident she could deal with it on her own, but she was on her own here.
She was always left on her own, in some way or another. She had gotten used to it after a while.
Managing to work her way out of the throng, the sheer amount of people getting to be too much for the young girl, Nanako took a deep breath, exhaling just as deeply. Was this what it was like in the city? She wasn't sure how Souji could handle it. She could get a better look from the outside, after all. But should she try to find her friends, or find somewhere safe?
Luckily, it would seem that she didn't have to make that decision for herself. ]
Big br--
[ She knew that voice. She'd know it anywhere, and for a fleeting moment her whole demeanor changed. Her entire face lit up, her chest puffed out; she turned, ready to shout out to her big bro.
Then, all at once, it changed. She saw his face. She still knew that face, she likely always would. He was different. He was taller. Leaner. He even looked a bit tired. It was him, but it wasn't him, and as he lifted her into the air, true panic set in, even as she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in his shoulder.
Did people change like the city? Did big bro change? What about the others? Why did he look like that?
Did it really matter? ]
..Big bro!
[ She was shaking a bit, then gripped him tighter. She didn't know what was going on, had no idea what he had gone through, but somehow she knew she had to hold on tight and make sure not to let go. ]
