章 67: Encounter with a Troubled Child

In the bustling market, Noa, Eden, and So-Rin sat down at a stall to enjoy their lunch. Each bite of their sandwiches was savored, the flavors dancing on their taste buds as they absorbed the lively ambiance surrounding them. The air was filled with the harmonious blend of automated vendors whirring and the lively conversations of both humans and androids.

As they finished their meal, Noa reached into his pocket and retrieved his wallet, paying for the food using Nummus cash. He still brought his wallet just incase as back up when the digital transaction failed or cash could be used during emergencies.

With satisfied smiles, they bid farewell to the stall and resumed their walk down the vibrant market street. Noa kept a firm grip on his wallet, but his attention was soon diverted by a scene unfolding nearby.
