Hushed whispers, shushed erupted following the masked vesper lady's words. The eager crowd of youths standing at the brink of adulthood, or just barely having crossed over it, were shocked to hear his words.

His honey-colored eyes, which gave him quite the exotic look glimmered under the lamplight.
"E-excuse me, Miss… ehrm… Number 38…" He started, feeling a bit of difficulty to say such a weird designation as a name. Still, he pushed through the discomfort he felt, and with a meek tone of voice, asked. "What did you mean, by what you just said? H-how are we supposed to pay you with credits if we cannot use our money to buy them?"
