Summary: After sticking around in Hisato for a day, Cross takes off towards Yomisato to check out if Allen was right about people gathering there. He finds Jack on the way, and the pirate seems to be insisting that he replaces Timcanpy as Cross's travel partner. What.
Cross has a lot of things to think about. A lot. And a lot of that is swirling a bit behind the surface of his mind, because he still thinks that it's not the right time to focus on that sort of thing, so those things are better off right there for the time being.
First, he wants to focus on trying to get a better grip of this place and if Allen's guess about the possibility that he could find something in Yomisato is true. It's not like he has anything better to do, is there? And if people really are gathering there, then it sounds like a good way to make some connections.
So that's the direction he heads in after checking the map, without a word to Allen and the others in morning, because he never does say a word when he leaves. It's nothing new, and it would be weird if he didn't do that. Allen has obviously had enough of weirdness. Not he really wanted to say something in the first place. It just doesn't seem like something he absolutely couldn't do anymore.
As he leaves the housing complex behind and heads down the road, with a cigarette between his lips, he notices something black by the side of said road. Something black and... possibly alive, even if sort of dead looking.
He gets slightly curious, but not so much because this might be something most people would be concerned about, but he's not. He's just slightly curious.
So he decides to take a closer look.
