Yeah, I'm here.
I'm not seeing or detecting anything dangerous. Seems just like the last one.
Are you okay?

... So there's a piece of paper in this one, too.

[ Quiet, not going to pop it yet. ]

How long has this cart stopped? Where's Sunny?

...Not long.
Sunny? That neighbourhood kid you know?
According to her GPS, she's at home.

[ Lillium goes quiet again, dread coiling in his stomach as his nerves pulse. At the moment, he's safe, but unsettled nevertheless. To check he's awake and here, he grabs his own wrist, maybe even pinches the inside. ]

Do you have playback from when I got here?

[ A little video recording...... ]

[ Nico just watches him do this like bro. Doesn't stop him.

Nico
If you insist.

Enjoy your quick replay of Lillium arriving to the rooftop completely alone, looking around for a bit, and then wandering towards the ferris wheel completely on his own. The balloon was there the whole time, and Nico was there like. Are you going to say anything. Do you just want to relax first. That's fair I guess.

[ the combination of lillium not asking about cyoas because he isn't one to pry and doesn't want to open up traumas and then the cyoa effect where he's supposed to feel that being a cop is normal has put him in quite a precarious spot where he is wondering if this is... also normal for him.

There's still a niggling feeling that this is not normal.

Do I do this often? Space out... And just not respond.

[ He pops the balloon while they're here. ]

Nico
Not as far as I've seen you.
And given we're always together...

[ The wry amusement is back, though it isn't without a speck of skeptic concern. Lillium pops the balloon and gets a card! It reads like so on one side --

L
O


and so on the other --

3


Woo, 3 cards down, 3 more to go.

... If that happens again, shock me or something.

[ One moment as he texts his findings and squints at his phone. Feel free to move him to the next location. ]

[ Nico will remember that.

Anyway, here you go.
