∞ Broken Walls [fourth wall catch-all]

[chikaidestroyer]

Albert
[The influx of people in the village is certainly strange, viewable as it is from the second floor of the building that housed both the welcome center and Celsius Tear. The tea shop was still seeing business, especially with the "novelty" of food and service being free in the village, so even if he felt like returning to the house, he's kept busy between observing the newcomers and going between the shop and the grocery store.

There's that suspicion that there's bound to be something else going on, and he's gone through enough years to associate this time of the year with mysterious bouts of forgetfulness. He keeps a notebook on hand to write down his observations as the weekend continues.]



Leon
[Leon, for his part, is mostly fascinated by the fact that most of the newcomers seemed to be missing the telltale wings that people had from their world. There's also that encroaching suspicion that comes with large-scale strangeness; ever since that Shift that turned out to be a cultist invasion, he's looked at experiments with even more wariness than before. He sticks to the fountain plaza and the nearby bridges, as they seem to be good places to carefully look at the sea of new faces.]



Walter
[Walter wants nothing to do with whatever this is. Nope. Not at all. The last time something even somewhat similar to this had happened, memories were messed with thoroughly. No. He's not going to deal with that at all.

So he's just going to sit on top of the barracks and ignore at all these wingless wonders.]

Comments

[His shock melts into an excited smile when he hears her say his name, and he picks up his pace to jog over to her. He reaches for her -- her fingers, her hand, her wrist -- just to ensure that she's actually there, continuing to smile like an idiot.]

I can't believe it. I... It's been so long.

[cherishedmiracle]

[At first she's a little startled and confused as to what he's doing, but once she figures it out, she can't help but laugh lightly. He's definitely not the only one happy to see the other.]

It has been, but it's very nice to see you again! [She looks him over briefly before continuing.] I think you've even gotten a little taller while I was away...

[fellpool]

[He twitches a little at her comment, his face faltering as he mumbles just a bit.] It's more than a little, thanks...

[But the smile's back in full force soon enough.]

You look good. I mean, I remember that you would get sick, and it is still kinda cold--

[cherishedmiracle]

[Poor Leon... Nagisa doesn't catch the first comment, and instead looks down at her coat while answering the latter.]

Thank you! But um... I still do get sick easily, actually... I arrived around here though, so I made sure to get some winter clothes before walking around. So I think I'm okay for now!
