3rd Person POV:

Walking along the city streets under the shattered moon, Miyuki takes in the illumination provided by the various open establishments.

Miyuki: (thoughts) This view never ceases to amaze me.

Y/N: (thoughts) I'm glad you're enjoying it. Are you getting used to moving around like this?

Miyuki: (thoughts) Mhm. These night walks we started doing helped out quite a bit.

Y/N: (thoughts) I see. So, you're supposed to meet up with Monochrome tonight?

Miyuki: (thoughts) Yeah. Also, she told me to call her Mint for now on.

Y/N: (thoughts) Got it.

Miyuki: (thoughts) How are you feeling right now? I know having me in control makes you really tired.

Y/N: (thoughts) I'm fine. Just have fun with your friend.

Miyuki: (thoughts) Right.

Continuing onward, the trickster persona makes it over to the ice cream shop as Mint could be seen waiting at the entrance.

Miyuki: (approaching Mint) Sorry. I hope you didn't have to wait for me too long.

Mint: [Don't worry about it. I just got here a minute earlier.]

Miyuki: Still. You invited me out, so the least I could do is be here on time.

From there, Mint simply reaches over to give Miyuki a headpat.

Mint: [Let's head inside.]

Miyuki: (smiles) Okay.

The duo enter the ice cream shop, and head over to a table with their desired treats in hand.

Mint: [I've noticed that you've learned how to follow sign language better.]

Miyuki: Mmhm. I wanted to surprise you.

Mint: [Consider me surprised. I've been keeping it simple since we started your lessons for the past week.]

Miyuki: Hehe. So, is your job going well?

Mint: [Not really. My old boss got injured during the outbreak and we had to switch management.]

Miyuki: That sounds terrible. Is the new boss nice at least?

Mint: [Not at all. I'm gonna be 100% honest with you, the new boss is an absolute power-hungry bitch while my two other co-workers just follow really unreasonable orders in an attempt to suck up to her.]

Miyuki: I see. Are you feeling alright?

Mint: [I can tough it out.]

Miyuki: Is there anything I can do to help?

Mint: [Just relaxing here with you is more than enough.]

Miyuki: D-Do you wanna walk around for a bit?

Mint: [Walking around the city at this time is pretty dangerous, I wouldn't want you to get hurt.]
