Chapter Sixteen; A Day Of Waiting
It’s 3:00 PM, October 13th, in New York City. Frascuelo drops Alfred off in Central Park, and leaves when he sees Alfred talking to an older woman who is there with her grandkids, assuming that she was Alfred’s grandmother, there with his siblings to wait for him.
A little while away, Kiku emerges from a seemingly abandoned subway station (Though it isn’t a subway station, really) and is overjoyed to find himself in New York City. He quickly merges into the crowd, absorbing the sights, smells, and sounds of the city, eyes on the look out for a nook or cranny to sleep in until tomorrow. Tomorrow will be his day of freedom. After that, he can accept taking his old life back.
Not that much further, Ivan sit in his Dedushka’s room. Calm. Reflective. Waiting.
Today, they are all waiting. Today is a day of waiting. But tomorrow these three will be out and about, trick-or-treating, as children do. Tomorrow is a day of action.
Today, though, we wait.
