Aaron walked towards Ria's house, determined to see her and make things right. He walked up the sidewalk in Light City. He still wasn't used to how...bright it was, but at the moment it didn't bother him. He clenched his fists and avoided people's eyes though he could feel the stares. A little girl gaped at him openly like he was some kind of rare species.
"What're you lookin' at kid?" he snapped irritably. The little girl flinched and stumbled away screaming for her mommy. He ran his hands through his white hair making it even messier than usual. As he walked he thought about Ryan's warning how it would be best to stay away from her. Aaron froze in his track his beautiful gray eyes suddenly wild and fractured, What if Ryan's right, what if I hurt Ria... he thought suddenly terror struck. His body trembled as he imagined how he might mess up Ria's life. Then a sharp voice jarred him back to reality. "You gonna go to her or not?" the voice demanded in irritation. Aaron blinked.
Lounging on a nearby wall was a thin, lithe figure wearing a long, black cloak that covered their face, hair and eyes. Aaron blinked, fairly sure she hadn't been there a minute ago. The figure was clearly female though it was no one he had ever seen. She wore tight-fitting black jeans, dusty brown boots, and a white t-shirt. Glittering around her neck was a key pendant.
