[Anyone around city hall might now witness a teenage girl in a school uniform bursting through the main doors and stopping at the top of the steps. In one hand is a brown school bag, and the other holds the seal. She does not look happy in the least.]

What the hell is going on here?!

[He sees the school uniform first, and there’s a note of surprise -

and then he hears her speak. He smirks just a little - it sounds like her all right - but he’s kind of puzzled as to why she’s got the uniform on.

Could it be that…she’s from before? But that doesn’t make any sense, either.

Shaking his head, he comes just a little closer, though still slightly cautious. Last time he had seen her, they weren’t on the best terms…

Is she going to remember that?]

Well, now. I can’t say that I’m surprised to see you here, Kallen.

[That voice... Kallen freezes in place before slowly turning towards its owner. When she sees the familiar figure, her eyes visibly widen, and she begins to slowly take a step back.]

You...

[action]

[grand_theatrics]

[His eyebrow raises, but he doesn't move forward.]

You look as if you've just seen a ghost.

[action]

[emit]

This isn't funny.

[And another step back.]

[action]

[grand_theatrics]

No one was laughing, Kallen.

[Now he's taking a step closer.]

[action]

[emit]

[She stalls a bit when he says her name, but when she steps towards her, she moves backwards once more.]

This is sick.

[action]

[grand_theatrics]

Oh? And why do you say that?

[He honestly has no idea.]

[action]

[emit]

You're not-- He's supposed to be...

[She can't get it out. Sure, it had been two months since that day, but any progress she had made in getting over it was flushed down the toilet when he appeared in front of her like this. Choking on her own words was not something she liked to do, so instead of standing there like an idiot, she decides to turn around and start running like a bigger idiot!]

[action]

[grand_theatrics]

[...What on earth is she talking about?

And why does everyone have to run? Seriously.

He takes off after her, though he isn't expecting to catch up. Not when he'll get winded after just a couple of moments.]

[action]

[emit]

[And run she does!

After a block and a half, she'll slow to a jog when she finds she's in a park. Kallen glances around. Oh hey, a bench.]

[action]

[grand_theatrics]

[aaaand...he's coming. Slowly, and with many curses to the fact that everyone can really outrun him.

She had almost lost him once, and he was worried about losing her more times than that, but fortunately she only ran to the park.

...Don't mind him, he'll be getting there a little bit after her. He bends over and puts his hands on his knees, trying to regain his breath--]

Do you...mind telling me...what that was all about? [He's irritated, irritated because she won't tell him anything and the fact that he had to chase her down a block and a half.

It's extremely inconvenient.]

[action]

[emit]

[While he had been 'running', Kallen has taken the seal out of her pocket and is examining it. She nearly drops the damn thing when he approaches.]

Why won't you leave me alone?

[action]

[grand_theatrics]

[He doesn't leave anyone alone. Ever.]

That's not...an answer.

[action]

[emit]

You're not supposed to be here!

[She's standing up again.]

[action]

[grand_theatrics]

[And finally he straightens up, recovered. Kind of.]

And here I was, thinking that I was the dramatic one.

If it's any of your concern, none of us are supposed to be here.

[Though he has a feeling that's not what she's talking about.]

[action]

[emit]

But you... Zero...
