He looked undisturbed and oblivious to the onslaught of people coming from all directions at Shibuya Crossing. Absorbed in whatever he was looking at, he smiled at the device slightly lifting a hand to cover a laugh. Then someone squealed loudly, ripping his gaze from his phone screen. His eyes looked around for the source. He quickly found it and the alertness faded into a bit of annoyance as he saw a group of girls still dressed in school uniforms mindlessly giggling about something. Then he went back to looking at the screen instinctively pulling his collar up.
It was interesting to watch a Mortal. To watch how easily amused they could get; or how distracted.
Joshua let out his own giggle as he rephrased his thought.
It was interesting to watch Neku.
Joshua hadn't seen his Proxy in a few months since the Game. He sat atop the 104 Building deciding today he'd just amuse himself by watching his former Partner. A Composer could use a break.
'Was it already half a year since then?' he thought as his half-lidded eyes continued to watch Neku.
Time stretched too far for Joshua to know. A two-edged sword for Joshua.
Standing up and brushing off some imaginary dirt, he took one last look down towards Neku. He saw a familiar group of other teenagers run up to the former Player.
His lilac eyes lowered a fraction more.
"Soon, dear," a smirk fully evident in his voice. "Only because you're my dear, dear Partner."
