Re: UHHH YOU BOTH POSTED NEW TOPICS SO WHATEVER REPLY TO THIS ONE, FREAKS.
Theme parks - waterparks, whatever - were not places Kou chose to spend time, so naturally he had declined all invites when people had asked him to attend. Slides were, of course, the devil. People went down them dressed in what he thought should pass for underwear.
He was a loner by nature. The thought of a park was better at bringing him outside; it was tranquil and with enough time to think, till the people who visited on a hot summer's day would come in the afternoon and remarkably make it more thought-provoking with their noise. It was because they were alive, he supposed, as if reminding himself they were part of the scenery and nothing else. That thought had served him well until he stopped. The walk by the pond was blocked. Looking ahead told him they were people he knew, which meant his hopes were dashed when he saw Reizo merely existing.
He stepped backward and realised he'd likely been seen, paused for a moment, and went over. He supposed it was best to lead by example and be polite.
"What are you doing?" he asked, as though it was his park. Fortunately with Reizo present that had remained silent.
