[It's not long before Toby would eventually break away from the concrete and urbanity, grasslands and hills replacing what were skyscrapers and highways. Tree covered mountains replaced those, before one looms in the distance like an ever-watchful father over the land. At it's base, long steps led up to an orphanage, home to well over 55 children, all of whom were now trying to piece their lives back together after the Aliea Meteorite. Hiroto, especially, who'd been closest to the one they called 'Father'. They played around in the courtyard, they cleaned and cooked, they ran errands. They were determined to get things back to normal.
It's amazing how normalcy was what they'd always wanted. No 'aliens', no revenge, no hopeless wishes for love from a man who only saw past them.
It was by chance that they'd even meet at all. Hiroto, who often ran errands for Sun Garden by taking the bus down to the city to do some shopping, was now returning, plastic bags slung on his elbows and making his way up those long steps towards Sun Garden.
A normal errand, had he not noticed some rustling along the side, his green eyes flicking in that direction to get a better look. Usually it was an animal--wildlife wasn't terribly uncommon in these parts...
But something told him he had to check it out anyway. Turning from the path, he heads into the grassy hillside and follows the sound, making his way forward until he sees the back of a...child who couldn't be any older than Kimiyuki or Ruru...
...
It only takes a second before he speaks out.]
Excuse me...Are you lost?
[His voice is gentle, almost a whisper, as he slowly approaches the boy. It was so far away from any real city, his only assumption being he accidentally took the bus too far and had to get off here.
Poor guy.
He smiles, though, green eyes glistening as the sunset starts to reflect off them. Friendly faces, he found, often made all the difference, thinking of what Endou would do in a situation like this..]
