It seems as the day we have witnessed the last time hasn't finished yet. On the contrary, it has only started. KYR4 looks to have finally gotten to the group that is walking around and waiting for her arrival. As his usual, LUK3 is the first one to welcome her, but this time, he only comes to block her way instead of jumping on her. He looks strangely exhausted from an energy loss, even walking as if he is limping, with his C colour a bit faded from that black hair of his.

[LUK3]-KYR4! KYR4!! Look what you've missed! MY4 bought me this thingy to wear it on my head!!

[KYR4]-Hm?

[MY4]-*sigh* I told you, it's not for the head. It is suppose to be for your foot.

[LUK3]-No, it's not! Look! Look!!

The "thingy" in cause is actually a small device that can be attached to an injured foot, which is why MY4 said that. It doesn't have a complicated design though, it is simply two parallel "metal" sticks attached to two circles, one at 180° against the ground, a bit above around the level of the ankle, and the other at 90° against the ground, fixed on it, with the one above being able to open and close depending on the foot.

But the way he uses it just seems... unnecessary. To make it "fun", he puts it on his head as if it is a crown, struggling a bit to fix it so it won't fall down. He loses his attention towards the group and focuses on the "thingy" while doing this action. And as he does so, the Officer seems a bit perplexed on what's going on.

[KYR4]-So... What happened exactly?

[RY4N]-Nothing serious, don't worry. He was just... being his usual.

[MY4]-We went to buy a drink or two a few minutes ago, but on our way towards a bar, he saw a few kids playing around with a ball and decided to go on his own and play with them just to have a bit of fun, while RY4N and I remained to buy the drinks from the bar. And, when we got back... we kind of... found him on the ground, crying in agony.

[RY4N]-Oh, boy, you should've seen the kids' faces when they were watching him...

[MY4]-*sigh* Anyway... He simply sprained his ankle and lost his energy for a bit, but it won't be something serious since his immunity wasn't affected at that moment. I just gave him that so it will help him walk until it recovers, but he simply refuses to put it on for some reason.

[KYR4]-Aha... So I didn't miss anything new.

And as they finish talking, LUK3 finally starts paying attention to the conversation again, showing KYR4 how he managed to put the "thingy" to stand on his head.

[LUK3]-Ta-daah! Pretty cool, right?

[KYR4]-It looks as stupid as you are, LUK3.

[LUK3]-Nii...

[MY4]-You better take it off before it falls on the ground and you break it by mistake, LUK3.

[LUK3]-It won't fall, MY4! I am taking good care of it!

[MY4]-Just put it on your foot already.

[LUK3]-Nuh-uh! I'm doing what I want with it!

[RY4N]-Oh, dear Heaven...
