Leaving that scene for the authorities to handle, I walked away from that scene with Hanabi in tow. The other spectators who saw everything that happened ogled at us but I ignored them as they’re irrelevant. Nothing would change if they ran up to our side and asked if the girl was fine anyway.
Thankfully, I explored this place earlier. Finding a less crowded place was easily done. It’s somewhere similar to where I met up with Fuyu yesterday; close to an indoor venue, roofed, and a vending machine present nearby.
And with little to no people around, the silence became our refuge.
Guiding Hanabi to the bench, I sat her down and let her organize her thoughts while I walked to the vending machine to buy her favorite drink.
