"Here," Hinata sighs, glancing over his shoulder at Servant, "That building up ahead is Towa Hills. Happy now?"
Servant's eyes widen and he smiles. He grabs Hinata's arm excitedly, saying; "Oh, Hinata-kun, can we go in? Please?"
The brunet's eyes narrow. "If we go in and someone sees us, it counts as revealing ourselves. You'll just have to make do like this and see if anyone comes out."
Servant pouts. "Come on, Hinata-kun, you're no fun. Just a little peek, wouldn't that be fun?" He bats his eyelashes, "Please. . .For me?"
Hinata's eyes narrow. "Exactly what kind of relationship do you think we have?"
"I want to go see!" He cheers, rushing forwards but before he can, Hajime grabs his good wrist and yanks him back, shaking his head disapprovingly.
"That is extremely dangerous," He scolds, "Do you have a death wish or not? You know what, don't answer that. Just stay here."
Servant opens his mouth to respond but before he can, the front doors to Towa Hills open and out comes a young boy with short light-blue hair and a girl with long pink pigtails. The girl smiles and twirls around excitedly, babbling on to the other boy who looks like he'd rather be anywhere but there.
Hinata's eyes widen. "Servant, look-those children don't look like the other Monokuma Kids. Something's different about them."
The Despair's eyes light up as his head swivels over to look at them.
The blue-haired one lets out a huff before grabbing the girl's wrist and speaking harshly to her, making her pout.
Suddenly, two Monokuma kids run up to them and the blue-haired one turns to look at them, giving them instructions.
"I don't understand," Hinata mutters, "Do the Monokuma kids answer to them? Are they the ones who did this to Towa City? Are there more of them or is it just those two?"
Servant grins. "They're just little children but they've caused so much despair! It's so interesting!" He turns to look at Hinata, "We should follow them."
The brunet's eyes narrow. "Absolutely not. If you're going to keep insisting on getting close to them, then we're going to leave right now," He threatens, "You seriously have no regard for your own personal safety, do you?"
He ducks his head, almost looking sorry. Almost.
"I suppose not. Oh well, what can be done about it?" He chirps back cheerfully.
Hinata rolls his eyes. "You're impossible. There's no way that's healthy. It's been nearly two days and all you've been doing is making me worry."
Servant scratches at the back of his neck. "Oh, I don't mean to make you worry, Hinata-kun. I just want to know more about them! Especially if they're the ones who did this to this city and are in control of the Monokumas. Aren't you just the slightest bit curious? Don't you want to go see?"
"Not even in the slightest. It's too dangerous. We're leaving."
Servant looks back at the two shorter children, watching as the girl re-enters Towa Hills while the blue-haired boy wanders off in a different direction. He lets out a sigh before looking back at the brunet. "Just as well. They've vanished anyway."
Hinata merely groans, reclaiming Servant's good wrist and dragging him away from the large building and back towards their little coffee shop hideout.

Servant finds he's having a hard time settling down for the night by the time darkness has fallen. As he tosses his jacket at the once again shivering Hinata, he can't help but tear his thoughts away from those despairing children.
