[Art Studio Hallway, 2:30 P.M., Friday]
*Two professors walk down the hallway containing Takumi's studio.*
Professor One: Anything new, Ron?
Professor Two: Same 'ol routine. Say, did you see the new gallery update?
Professor One: Sure did, nothi- *Stops and begins staring.*
Professor Two: Glen? Hey, what is it?
*Professor One raises his hand and points at Michi's painting, which is sitting under the soft glow of a bulb.*
*Professor Two Looks where Ron is pointing, his grip loosens on his bag.*
[Babylon Crossing, 1:15 P.M., Friday]
*The group cruise onto the bridge on the way to San Melodia.*
*Besides the small talk attempted earlier on in the ride, most of the ride has been shared with silence.*
Sim: *Looking back in his rear-view mirror.* So uhm.. Where do you guys wanna start? I know a few places if we can't decide.
Michi: Oh! Uh.. we could go to Cornelia! It's super pretty there.
Sim: Exactly what I had in mind. Good choice!
Kirumi: *Glancing back at Takumi and thinking to herself.* Come on... Say something.
Takumi:*Hesitating* Cornelia? I've never been there. My parents used to bring me around the Shino and Fairview districts for visits, mostly coastal.
Kirumi: *Thinking* And here I thought this kid was mute.
Kirumi: Y'all can lead the way.
*Sim turns the music up as they slowly arrive into the city.*
[Cornelia Square, 1:25 P.M., Friday]
*The group walks around the corner of a shop, where they discover the beautiful Cornelia Square. A fountain is in the middle of the square, surrounded by a variety of different colored flowers. Shops, buildings, and billboards line the outskirts of the square. The square is bustling with people of all ages.*
Michi: *Running ahead of the group* Woooow! It's as beautiful as ever! *laughs in excitement.*
Kirumi: Hey! Slow down! Don't forget why we're here.
*The three finally catch up with Michi.*
Sim: *While looking around.* Where to look, where to look.
Michi: Let's go this way!
Takumi: Is there anything we can present on?
Michi: You'd be surprised, this area actually embraces street art. I used to love seeing it in action throughout the city.
Kirumi: Street art? Like graffiti? I'm all for it.
Sim: Alright! Let's go!
*The group begins to explore the area.*
Takumi: *In his head* Alright Danny, I trust in you. *Out loud* So... uh Michi, you're from around here?
Michi: *Enthusiastic reaction* Born and raised! I grew up in the Soledad District, as a private school student. I attended school with Ella Hamilton.
Takumi: *To himself* Real humble. *Out loud* Hamilton? The top tier with all the groupies? *Recalling the group of guys chasing around a beautiful blonde girl.*
