Finally, somewhere that wasn’t completely awful. 

She’d heard mention of a forest but that was far outside the city and honestly she had no idea how to get there. And even if she could then she was far too afraid to simply go wandering off with zero real destination in mind with no supplies.

Yes, it was far easier to do said wandering in the city and just be miserable. 

Beyond being not completely awful; she actually liked this field of flowers. Filotimo? Savior’s Respite. The flowers reminded her of the forest, her home, and the city seemed so far away here. So far away she could almost forget about it. That was until she saw someone else here. Someone out flower picking.

Oh great. Well, she didn’t want to leave. 

“Be careful how you pick them...”

...What!

Why had she said anything?! Immediately she tucked her knees up to her chest and tried to hide away in her ridiculous amount of hair. Hoping vainly that both it and her hat would render her somehow invisible.

Though the city had been full restored back all the way in July, it seemed like there were still a few buildings here and there that were left to rot. Ruined buildings, never to be fixed because it was simply too much work for places that wouldn’t get any visitors or monetary value at all. 

Perhaps it was by chance, perhaps it was because Monika was simply drawn to these kinds of creepy and scary places, but the young girl found herself exploring the ruins with a smile on her face, a spring in her step and a soft hum. There was something always magical and mysterious about these kinds of places, left to stand the test of times, to allow themselves to once again be claimed by the forces of nature. It really was worth the time to explore!

Truthfully, she had expected to be the only one there, but as she round the corner, she had almost bumped into someone. A quick hand to her chest, and Monika let out an embarrassed laugh.

     “-- Oh! Gosh, you gave me quite the spook there! Sorry      about that, I hope I didn’t freak you out as well!”
