[Maka is sitting on a bench in the park with a book in her hands. This is not an unusual sight in the least. However, what is strange is the fact that, if you look closely, she is not actually concentrating on the book. Instead, she is looking just over the top of it and at the many people wandering through the park, though she is doing her best to

[You may be able to sense a very familiar soul, Maka. Or pair of souls, rather. They're approaching you quickly!]

... Maka? What are you doing?

[angelic_meister]

Oh, Chrona! You came outside!

[Wait, maybe that wasn't the best way to word it. Maka puts the book down.]

I'm happy to see you.

[hell_inmyhead]

[Aww, lookit that. Chrona's blushing.]

Um... I-I'm happy to see you too, Maka... that's why I came outside...

[angelic_meister]

Hmm?

[She didn't quite catch that last part.]

Oh, right, you asked me what I was doing. I'm practicing with my Soul Perception.

[hell_inmyhead]

Oh... have you found anything weird?

[angelic_meister]

I think it'd be quicker to describe the normal things I've found. Almost everyone here seems to have unique souls.

[hell_inmyhead]

I guess that makes sense... there are a lot of weird people here.

[angelic_meister]

There are, but weird people can be nice. Have you made any new friends lately, Chrona?

[hell_inmyhead]

No, not really... it's really hard making friends, even after so long...

[angelic_meister]

Well, making friends in a place like this could be hard for anyone. So long as you keep coming outside and talking to people, you'll make plenty of friends in no time.

[hell_inmyhead]

But... w-what if I try talking to someone and they don't like me...?

[angelic_meister]

I'll hit them.

If they don't like you, then they don't deserve to be your friend, so don't worry about people like that. Most people will like you, though.

[hell_inmyhead]

Y-You don't have to hit them! Wouldn't that be kinda mean...?

[angelic_meister]

If they're mean to you, then being mean to them is only fair.

[hell_inmyhead]

I guess you're right... but I still don't want you to be mean to people just because they don't like me...

[angelic_meister]

Oh, I was joking. I wouldn't hurt someone just because they don't like you, even though I'd want to.
