as Neo stepped into his local grocery store one of the employees walked up to him
"how could I help you today"
he was the same height as Neo, about 5 foot ten, with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes, for some reason they seemed unfocused.
since the employees eyes were baggy Neo attributed it to not having enough sleep.
"I just need some starweed, moonberries, and sunfern please."
"of course, just in aisle five. ask one of the employees if you need anything else."
"okay, thanks for the help"
as Neo walked through aile five getting what he needed he saw out of the corner of his eye a girl that he could've sworn he recognised from his past life.
but that doesnt make sense, it's unlikely anyone else got reincarnated into this world with him.
after having bought all the herbs he needed Neo went to checkout.
again in the checkout stall just next to him he saw a girl he thought he recognized.
after checking out he decided to aproach her, maybe he knew her from somewhere.
"hey, do I know you? you look familiar"
"maybe, you do look familiar, but i cant quite place a name to your face" replied the girl
she was short, only about 5 foot one, with long black hair and brown eyes. she seemed to be about the same age as Neo, if not a little younger.
Neo still found her cute though, she reminded him of Lea.
that was it, she looked like Lea.
"me neither, what did you say your name was again?"
"Lea, nice to meet you"
that nearly confirmed Neo's suspicion, her name was Lea too.
it would be a good idea to stay close to her
"I'm Neo, nice to meet you too." Neo said as he reached out his hand to shake hers.
"yeah, w... where are you going next, you seem like a cool guy"
"I was gonna go home but I have some time, you wanna hang out?"
"I uh... sure. that would be nice."
