Edward wasn't as interested in going back as everyone else seemed to be. Sure, it would be nice if it happened, but considering it meant going back to Gothman city and all its problems (and realistically speaking, the asylum) he wasn't in any hurry. He was too fascinated with the station's technology to be thinking about that, anyway. Dangerous or not, he had never seen anything like Hypatia before and being the scientist he was, Edward was determined to find out more about her and the station in the best way he knew--by going out in the middle of the night, in full costume.

After three or fours hours he had wandered pretty far (into park, he guessed) and not having found anything useful, was ready to go back. Seeing a figure in the distance actually caught him by surprise, specially when he realized that it was a girl. Now, Batman or any of the not-so-normal people he had heard over the network, he would have found normal. A girl, not so much. He walked over there until he was near enough to clear start a conversation without shouting.

"You are..." He took a second to try to associate a name with her. Nothing came up. "That girl I spoke to when I arrived. Isn't it a little bit late to be out? "

A voice.

That's why you were shaking, Sakura thought. She squeezed the creature a little more tightly, trying desperately to calm it down--no easy feat, when its fear was only a reflection of her own. She didn't have time to disguise it as a backpack. A child's discarded toy--right, that would work. She mentally willed it to assume a motionless form in her arms. Ensof's shuddering ceased.

Steeling herself, she turned slowly in Edward's direction to respond to him. His costume took her by surprise. She thought quickly. Why would a man wander about in such an outfit? But his voice was recognizable. He's right. I talked to him before.

The programmer?

"Nighttime's...easier for exploring."
