Break had been forced to learn the city of Anatole without ever having seen it. When he awoke after his trip through the Door, his sight had only been gone for a few weeks. It was an immense challenge, learning the layout of a place he would never be able to see

There was only one white-haired man with a cane standing by a fruit stall, and Quorra perked up as soon as she saw him. He did remind her of Zuse, a little, but there was enough distinctiveness in his appearance that made him different from the boisterous Basic program Quorra had once known, enough that she could push the memories aside fairly easily and focus on the present.

She wove her way through the square and stopped at the fruit stall, smiling brightly at him. "Hello! I'm Quorra." And she stuck her hand out for a handshake.

The figure that presented itself before him and spoke was taller than Break was expecting, for some reason. But the voice matched the one he'd heard over the Forge, and so he beamed at her in a familiar manic fashion.

"Quorra-kun! Yes, hellooo! Xerxes Break."

He look her hand and shook it, and decided he liked the nickname he'd given her on the spot. Because they were friends now, weren't they? And Quorra-kun had a nicer ring to it than Quorra-san. "How delightful of you to meet me on such short notice. Oh, and please allow me to introduce my dear friend, Emily. Emily, say hello to Quorra-kun."

Emily was very clearly the doll on his shoulder. And her falsetto voice was also very clearly Break's as he brought a hand to his mouth to cover the movement of his lips. "Pleeeeeased to meetcha, tall lady!"

"-Kufufu," Break cut in. "Everyone's tall to dear Emily. A bit on the little side, isn't she?" He patted the doll fondly on the head.

"Kun? That's a Japanese honorific, isn't it?" But Quorra was quickly distracted from this by the introduction of Break's...friend.

She stared. Then she stared some more.

"...Nice to meet you, Emily," she said slowly. This man was very strange, but she'd found that all Users had at least one or two oddities. She could overlook these. Besides, it just made them all the more interesting, even if she was side-eyeing the doll thing at the moment.

She was sure there was a story behind it.

"Have you been waiting long?" She looked back at Break. There was something odd about his gaze, but she couldn't pinpoint it just yet. "Sorry if I took a while. I went via the rooftops."
