>You continue through the back alleys once again. >Every so often stopping to listen when you think you hear something other then the bell. >They seem to be nothing, or at least you hope that's what they are. >The three of you find another street you have to cross. >Just like the last time there is some string and another sheet, this one slightly draped over the string. >This one however… >Your eyes tear up a little looking at it. >You don't know why. >You avert your gaze and continue. >Hopefully there weren't anymore of those sheets ahead. >They seem to be making you feel mournful. >"Are uhh… are you alright?" Moonie asks. >"sniff… y-yeah" >Seems you're still a but sniffly from tearing up a while ago. >"You're not sick are you?" She asks. >"No… it's just… something about those sheets." >You look back towards the street. >"I was kinda kinda hoping you were sick… I mean…" >Moonie seems to be struggling with her words. >"I mean… I don't really know how to deal with other ponies emotions. sickness is somewhat logical and emotions are… not." >She looks to the ground. >"Well… if you wanna talk about it…" >"I uhh… I wouldn't stop you…" >She's being awfully nice, and she seems genuine. >"I'm not really sure…" you reply >"But thanks for asking" >You look to Taku, who is smiling at the two of you getting along. >Suddenly a sound drowns out the ringing of the bell. >A cry >Not a cry of pain or fear. >It's a cry you are all too familiar with. >A cry of something broken, something lost, something that has lost it's way, a cry for help from anypony, anypony at all. >your cries. >"What was that?" Taku asks. >You stare into the sky as you pinpoint where the cry came from, eyes welling with tears. >You determine where the cry came from and run. >"FLOOR!!!" Taku and Moonie shout as they try to catch up. >You dart through the allies and into the street. >You turn to move down the street when you realize. >You have made a grave mistake.
