[Action A - Before December 23rd - Around Town]

[So what if he had been vanished? So what if he was supposed to be gone? He wasn't. He was still here, and Christmas was still coming, and he had still been saving the (rather generous) allowance that Key-Fu had been giving him. He'd get everyone presents, just as planned ( Read more... )

[ Even though there were supposedly fakes around.. Nadeko didn't want to sit inside all day, especially not when someone in her household was one of them as well. So she just hoped as much as she could that she wouldn't run into one of them, they sounded pretty scary after all, even scarier than normal strangers, so..

But when she gets around to the shops, she spots Picky. And that's why she freezes up, immediately trying to hide behind a rack of clothes, although she's hiding in a way that actually makes her presence even more obvious (plus it's not really hiding, considering she's easily visible). ]

[Picky was having a tough time figuring out what he should get Key-Fu. He didn't seem like the tie-wearing sort. Maybe a hat? He was looking at a shelf full of hats, trying to decide if any of them were sufficiently heroic for the guy....

Wait, was someone looking at him? He stopped, looked all around him... and caught a glimpse of a familiar-looking head behind a rack.]

...Nadeko?

[ At being spotted she makes a high shrieking sound, before attempting to hide more - after a moment or two she realises that won't work though. So instead she moves to the side, peeking her head out from beside the clothes. ]

... H.. hi.. [ There's something about her that seems more scared than usual, even if the nervousness is normal. ]

[Well... this was weird. Was there something scary behind him? He looked around... no. No, nothing scary. And he certainly wasn't scary. So he trotted over to where Nadeko.]

Are you okay, Nadeko? Is something wrong?

[ She's so tempted to just run away from the situation, but even in front of a fake that feels.. too rude to her, like something she shouldn't do no matter what. Nadeko tries to swallow and speak up, but her throat almost feels locked by now. ]

A-a little, you see.. [ it's even harder to find words than usually. ] U-um..

[Nadeko kind of struck him as pretty timid for a bigger kid, before... but this proved it. She was scared.

Scared of him?]

It's... it's me, isn't it? [He took a step back and hung his head.]

[ There's something a little painful about that, seeing him hanging his head like that, but at the same time.. he's just fake, right? She can't let herself be misguided now or surely Taiwan and the others would be mad, but still..

She nods, weakly. ]

Y-yes. I'm.. s-sorry, but I probably shouldn't talk to fakes..

...oh.

Well... okay. If you don't wanna talk to me... alright.

[He looks pretty hurt, but he's trying to hide it and be tough. Picky looks away, avoiding eye contact with Nadeko. She had been so nice, why couldn't she see that it was really him...?

He turns away, and goes back to trying to pick out gifts.]

[ Something hurts. Don't walk away.

She's scared. Walk away.

She takes a deep, shaky breath, before turning around. ]

S.. sorry.. [ and it almost sounds like she's about to cry - why, it's just a fake, right? then why does it hurt to be like this, so mean - as her voice shakes too. ] Goodbye..

[ and with that, she runs out of the store. ]
