[i]While still watching the sky, they heard the door open and saw Tatianna coming in.[/i]

Kaito: Whoa, is that Tiane?! Is she coming back for reals?!

Lucent: I... don't know...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/tqfHLBg.png[/img]
Kaito: Oh yeah, you're a little scared of her. Better saying, except for me and Reeta, you don't speak with anyone, not even with the kids.

Lucent: I know that. It's just that... Rayla's a little too impulsive and her fame around the neighborhood frightens me while Tatianna just... frightens me in general.

Kaito: You really want to be their friend as well, don't you?

Lucent: I've been comfortable alone, but since you and Reeta won't let me stay at my room again...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/FbEGXXX.png[/img]
Kaito: You bet I won't! I wouldn't be a good friend if I did let you!

Lucent: ...

Kaito: Now let's get back inside. It's almost time for dinner.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/vK3uHoL.png[/img]
Lucent: W-Wait, can't I wait to eat alone later? Or at least-

Kaito: No, you can't.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Aupzp9a.png[/img]
Lucent: Then maybe we could eat at a different place. Like, we can get our plates and-
Kaito: Why do you want that much distance from the rest?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Kub07aL.png[/img]
Lucent: I know it's my own fault but I don't want people to be staring at me. It makes me uncomfortable.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/uyGwOf0.png[/img]
Kaito: Good to know that you brought this upon yourself, because the first step for you to grow up socially is to leave your comfort zone. We're eating with the others.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/bkej3Go.png[/img]
Lucent: ... Alright, but I'm not sitting near them. I want the farthest end, mostly away from the rest.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/a532uBK.png[/img]
Kaito: Lucent, you know that I can't let you do that.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/qsihRDH.png[/img]
Lucent: Just this once. Please.

[i]Kaito knew this was going to be difficult. Lucent wouldn't just stop being a loner from one day to another, but he wouldn't have expected too many obligations. It made him wonder how it was going to be at school.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/Bml5VJQ.png[/img]
Kaito: ... Alright, alright. As long as you don't run back to your room, I'm fine with it.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/y8AMJjI.png[/img]
Lucent: Good, that makes me feel calmer. (At least one condition fell in.)
[img]https://i.imgur.com/uyGwOf0.png[/img]
Kaito: But only today! Tomorrow onwards, we're all eating together, got it?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/vK3uHoL.png[/img]
Lucent: Huh?! H-Hold it, just today is not enough!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Eg3fEYy.png[/img]
Kaito: It's going to be only for today and that's final! Now let's go and say hi to them! *grabs Lucent's arm*
[img]https://i.imgur.com/TuhT9uk.png[/img]
Lucent: Kaito, wait! I'm not comfortable with this! Listen to me!

[i]However, Kaito ignored him and pulled Lucent with him to the inside. He wanted to help his friend, even if he had to lie a little.[/i]
