[h2]Mihama Nanako[/h2]

It was obvious that Meltryllis was looking for something. Nanako wasn't quite sure what, but it was clear. Reminding herself to ask, the brunette went about(with some difficulty) obtaining various supplies that had run down over the course of the last few days. Given the state she'd been in, it was only natural she hadn't been able to shop prior... and given her shelves were pretty sparse [i]already[/i] there was no doubt she'd needed to at least get some of the basics. Thankfully, now that she'd started getting the payments from the city on account of having summoned a Servant, there was plenty of wiggle room when it came to purchasing it all. Not that it was easy transporting it, but she did her best with only one arm.

It was when she was on her way out of the last store that she thought she noticed something strange...

A little girl, a familiar shade of purple, on the edge of her vision. She almost didn't see her, only barely noticing the figure out of the corner of her eye as she disappeared into an alleyway...

And then she was gone.

Nanako paused for a moment. A little girl with the same shade of purple hair as Meltryllis, disappearing into an alleyway...?

... She must have imagined it, right?

The brunette shook her head.

"... Meltryllis-san," she began, turning to face the Alter Ego, "Were you looking for something while we were shopping? I couldn't help but notice."
