Chiro stormed out of the Super Robot angrily. He'd just had a fight with the Monkey Team and he wasn't happy at all.
He could hear Antauri calling him back, but chose to ignore him.
He walked to Mr. Gakslapper's hover burger stand and sat down.
"What's wrong, Chiro?" Mr. Gakslapper asked.
"I got into another fight with the Monkey Team." Chiro admitted.
"Again? That's the third time in as many days!" Mr. Gakslapper said.
Chiro sighed. "They… I don't know… they just don't understand what I need right now."
"Her birthday just passed, didn't it?" Mr. Gakslapper realized after a pause.
"She was so young…" Chiro murmured. "I tried to save her, but…"
"Chiro, don't blame yourself about that night. You almost died as well. It's not your fault, so don't act like it is." Mr. Gakslapper scolded.
Chiro sighed again. "I didn't manage to get out that day to grieve her. The monkeys stopped me because it was time for training. I… I took it out on them."
Mr. Gakslapper put a hand on his shoulder and looked him in the eyes. "It's okay to mourn, Chiro, but it's not okay to take it out on your friends."
Chiro cracked a small smile. "You sound like Antauri now. I'd better get back before they start worrying about me." He turned to leave.
"Chiro. One more thing." Mr. Gakslapper said. Chiro turned back. "She'll always be with you. In your heart."
Chiro gave a real smile this time. "Thanks, Mr. Gakslapper. It means a lot to me."
"Any time, Chiro. Just…" Mr. Gakslapper's eyes widened.
"What is it?" Chiro just managed to ask before being snatched from behind and yanked into a car.
Mr. Gakslapper raced after it, but the car was faster than he was.
Everyone who'd seen the event was shocked at what had just happened.
A little girl was the first to snap out of it, and she ran towards the park.
