Proper Introduction

"Hm, I don't know. There are also people who don't show up for meetings and just leave one sitting alone, waiting for them", Simo explains thoughtfully. Yoru sits down on a bench next to Sero. The two boys are just looking around the area, thinking about various things. "So", Yoru starts to talk. "What exactly are we going to do now?". "Hmm, that's a really good question! How about we get to know each other a little by first tell something about ourselves?", Sero happily suggest. "Yeah, we could do that", Yoru responds meekly. "Well then, I'll start with myself", Sero says full of energy and stands up from the bench. "My name is Sero Kiken. I'm 20 years old, and I'm originally from somewhere else, but recently I moved to this place for some important tasks and now I live here. Well anyway, let's get to my hobbies. I like to do sports for my live, it just gives me the motivation for everything! This includes strength training as well as parkouring, jumping on some roofs here and there. What I also like to is presenting things. I just love the feeling standing in front of people and giving speeches! It just gives me that special kick every time! Even in school I loved standing in front of other kids, talking about different kinds of things. Everyone made fun of me back then because of that, but for me, it was something completely normal. Maybe that's also due to the environment in which I grew up in. I always had very good friends! Well sure, there were a few of the 'special kind' of kids, you know, but my friends and I didn't belong to them. We always had our own fun and didn't care about what others where thinking or doing. Oh, that reminds me that I can tell you what I like to eat. I love Asian food, especially seafood like shrimps, sushi, squid. I could just dream of waking up every day and eating some of it! But well, this is not some kind of special information, so you don't need to remember that. Either way, I don't want to talk about for too long now, I'm more interested in what you have to say", Sero says. "Uhm, so it's my turn now?", Yoru asks slightly nervous. "Yep! I'm curious to hear all of your information!", Sero responds with a big smile.

He sits back down onto the bench and Yoru stands up and starts talking. "So uhm, my name is Yoru Sumisu, I'm 19 years old, and I've been living here for two years now", speaks and then remains silent. "Is that all", Sero asks in wonder. "Yeah, there's not much to tell about me", Yoru answers quietly. "I mean, don't you have any friends or other things, like for example hobbies or dreams for the future", Sero asks. "Not really, I've been pretty much alone for a while now and I don't really have any hobbies either. I'm mostly at home, reading or drawing something, but lately I just lack motivation. I wish I would do a little more, but I just don't really know what to anymore. I also have no idea what I want to do do in the future. Not only that, but I used to have so many dreams, but now I just don't feel like doing anything of that anymore. I mean, yeah I have to find some things to do because I can't stay at home forever, but still, it's not easy", Yoru continues talking. "There you go", Sero whispers to himself with a smiling smirk. "What did you say", Yoru asks, looking at Sero in wonder. "Oh nothing, it wasn't that important", Sero responds. Yoru sits back down on the bench and both guys start looking around in the area again. 'What now', Yoru starts thinking inside his head, 'Why is it so quiet, is it because of me, am I doing anything wrong'. "Do you maybe want to go for a little walk", Sero suddenly asks out of nowhere. "Uhm, a walk? Yeah, sure why not, I'm doing that almost everyday anyway", Yoru responds to that idea. Both boys get up from the bench and Yoru starts walking first. "This is going to be very interesting", Sero says quietly with a smile and then follows Yoru.

Both boys start looking around at the nature and the area their in, trees, tall grass and even some horses next to a small car-road. After walking around for nearly ten minutes, Sero starts with a new topic. "So Yoru, you've been living here for quite a while now, which means you know the area and the ways around here pretty well, right?". "Yeah, why?", Yoru asks in surprise." Oh, no reason in particular, I just wanted to talk a little chat with you", Sero replies. "Hm, you seem to enjoy talking very much, am I right?", Yoru asks thoughtfully. "Yep! You got that exactly right. I don't know, it's just fun talking to other people and learn something about them", Sero responds. Both guys continue walking towards a field for a while.

"I haven't talked to anyone in a long time, you know", Yoru starts to say. "Really?", Sero then asks in amazement. "Yeah, back then I had a few friends which I could talk to from time to time", Yoru continues. "And what happened to them? Where are they now?", wonders Sero. "Oh, it's not that important.. I don't even know why I just started about it in fist place", Yoru tries to deflect. "No, it's fine, I'm really interested", Sero replies as response to that. Both of them are walking a little while longer through the fields while Yoru is making himself ready for the answer, "Okay, here's the thing, I had a few friends but they -" >> Have abandoned you, just like everybody else in your life << - Yoru is interrupted again by the voice which he heard a dozen of times now.
