Lost in Alksstak
He was at Karedes, one of a number of shopping malls that line the Lafuente Strasse in Alksstak.
On the escalator, he stood beside a couple. The girl seemed to be unhappy, and the guy was comforting her. He turned away; he had his own business.
Subconsciously, he turned back to steal a glance at the couple. The guy was the artist kind. Moreover, he was holding on to something that resembled a canvas. The girl turned away, just avoiding his eyes.
They reached their level, and the couple went in the opposite direction. He plodded along; he didn’t really have anywhere to go.
Then, he whirled around, and hurried in the direction the couple took. He searched every shop. There was no sign of the couple at all.
She might have tied up her hair, but her hair wasn’t all that long, actually. Though he only had the briefest of glimpse of her, she looked familiar. All too familiar. Like someone he knew.
The way she sniffed.
It was her.
