Reality Vanish, and recuperating
Xiao had succeeded in finding his way to Reality Vanish after an extended round-robin meander from the Nexus to Rockman's wooded world and back again, with a few stealthy trips back to Neo-Arcadia in between.
Somehow he hadn't been caught yet, but he figured it was just a matter of time ...
And there had been such a massive forest in Reality Vanish! He'd had to go look despite himself. On the good side, he met a human boy named Dekao -- on the bad side, they had been swarmed by feral metools and he'd been injured rather impressively. Despite this, he got dekao on the route back to his own home and wandered back to find the rest of the mets.
On his second trip towards the ruins Xiao encountered Rockman, and the pair returned to Rockman's home -- where mending was undertaken, and a long and interesting conversation was had, including the possibility of staying in Reality Vanish and / or taking political science classes.
Not willing to risk Proto's ire, Xiao parted ways after exchanging commcodes with Rockman, and headed back to the forest-world to nest and let his autorepair do its work while he considered what to do.
If all else failed, he could see what could be found in the Nexus, after all ...
