Nero finishes getting dressed and puts their hair into a half updo before walking out of the bedroom and joining Caden on the balcony. [color=#9B111E]“What a view.”[/color] Nero comments, looking out over the large park beneath them and all the life the city had to offer.

Nic smiles, touched that she thought to ask. [color=F7941D]“Yeah, actually… I’d love that.”[/color] Removing his arm from around her shoulders, he takes her hand and leads her into the house and up the stairs to start. It’s so different walking down the hallway and seeing the empty spaces where photos and paintings used to hang, their spots on the walls much brighter compared to the rest of the paint. 

The human takes her to the primary bedroom, showing where Kiki had spilt his mother’s nail polish on the carpet and where he had knocked over a candle. To his surprise, Cass has almost got the stains completely out, but he knows where they are even if drastically faded. 

Nic’s shows Cass his bedroom next, pointing out some weird cuts in the wall where his bed used to be. He explains to Cass that he once got a really cool collection of knives from a family friend and had tested it out on the wall. He adds that one day, after school, he’d come home to find their house robbed and started hiding his knives in every room so that if that happened again and the invaders were still in the house, he’d have a weapon. 

Kiki’s room had been turned into a sewing room for his mother and it’s difficult for Nic to see it empty. He knows much of the sewing materials and machine had been sold or donated, as he and his dad didn’t really have use for them outside of memories. The pair head downstairs and it’s not much different to the small tour upstairs, mostly just Nic replaying some memories of when he still had his whole family. 

They move to the backyard where his mother’s garden still stood, the plants thriving as the weather starts to cool. Tears sting his eyes as he remembers his mom teaching him how to garden and grow his own food. [color=F7941D]“I wish I could take this with me.”[/color] Nic tells Cass as he crouches by the in-ground planters

Kiki nods, hopping out of the bed and finding her slippers to put on. She also grabs Avery’s sweater and pulls it over her head. It only faintly smells of Avery now and she can’t help but feel a little disappointed. She pulls him into a hug so she can take a deep breath. [color=FFF79A]“Why do you always smell a little bit like mint?”[/color] Kimiko asks while she pulls away.
