lilvioletThere's a small girl that appears in the Velvet Room. One wearing glasses and an elementary school uniform. She seems to be about eleven years old, staring a bit nervously at Igor as he explains where she is, and what she's supposed to do.
"...U-Um..."
She holds her hands close to her, not quite able to shake off her worry. Sure, some of the things Igor's saying should relieve her worries, like time not passing while she's here (W-Wha?!), but this is still so much to take in?!
And where's her big sister? Where's Kasumi? They were just out getting ice cream after a big gymnastics event... W-Where did she go...?
"..."
Her head turns towards the doors. Maybe... Maybe Kasumi was here already? Maybe she just went on ahead... Yeah, sometimes she gets a bit excited and rushes on ahead, but she never goes too far without her little sister.
...Sometimes she wishes she could take the lead though...
So Sumire approaches one of the doors, and slowly turns the door knob...
Option 1: Sumire finds herself in the familiar setting of Tokyo, particularly the Shibuya area. It's so overwhelming being here alone, with all of the people passing her by! But she tries her hardest to push through, and... wait... They're just letting her through? It's almost like they're parting as they need her to, instead of her needing to push...
She looks up at one of the adults, and something about them seems odd. The look on their face is cheerful, but their eyes are glazed over... It's a bit unnerving, honestly.
"..."
But Sumire continues wandering, trying to call out for her big sister.
"K-Kasumi...?! Are you there?! Kasumi!"
Option 2: The next door Sumire tries is the door to Inaba, which is a lot quieter and more lax than the door to Tokyo, thankfully. It's calm, peaceful. Such a small town, and definitely not what Sumire is used to. Could Kasumi be here...?
As Sumire wanders, she finds herself outside Junes, where she realizes... she's actually a bit hungry... The two of them never got ice cream like they were supposed to, and now it's probably time for dinner. Oh, what's she supposed to do, she doesn't have any money...!
Option 3: The last door she opens, the one to Iwatodai, is around sunset. She's found herself at near the theater and flower shop, quietly looking around with curiosity and worry.
"...Kasumi?"
But her eyes are drawn to the various, beautiful flowers... and as much as she wishes she could have one, again, she has no money. Ah, if only she had her allowance with her...
"...They're so pretty..."
She knows Kasumi would love the roses in particular... Of course she would, they're her favorites. Meanwhile her own are the violets, which... well, it's a bit obvious they're her favorites, considering her name.
...Maybe she can ask the lady how much they cost? Ah, but... she's too nervous...
