I keep my cart setup outside the Amanogawa High School. It seems to be the center point of all the darkness that's plaguing the area right now, so that's where I'm going to stay until Ryuunosuke tells me where we're needed.

I can't help it if I'm a little more subdued with my customers. You can't blame me, a piece of my soul is missing.

I glance up from where I'd idly chatting with Ebi-kun just in time to spot Etienne shuffling away from the school. He seems about as unenergetic as I am, and that makes me curious.

"Oi, Etienne!" I wave to the boy, hoping he hears me and comes over.
