Hikari's group of four walked down a narrow alleyway, flanked on both sides by shoddy buildings. Their spectators had stopped staring, so the group took to the air and leapt on top of one of the buildings. Down below, they saw the boy hiding behind some barrels and looking around desperately.
Before the group could act, another man came from a different alley. Clearly, the boy had seen him before because his face betrayed his fear. He cowered even lower and held his head.
"Hey brat, why're you back here already? Doenel gave you a mission. You can't steal from some ladies?"
The boy shook his head. "They're not just some ladies! They saw me! They managed to see me even though…"
"Shut it," the man said as he grabbed the boy's hair. "Should I drag you back to Doenel and tell him you failed then?"
