All good things come to an end, of course; once Alfred is sent to preschool, he quickly understands the difference between his classmates' imaginary friends and Arthur. Arthur he can see, interact with, talk to. Arthur is smarter than Alfred, and teaches him awesome things.
Eliza's friend is little and not smart, and she forgets about her. She can't see her or touch her, and neither can Alfred. Kiku's friends are the same way.
"How come you're tho different, Awfer?" Alfred asks curiously, climbing clumsily into the man's lap to play a clapping game with him.
Arthur just smiles sadly.

Author's note: So, hey! While I have a good bit of this story planned out, I think there's a lot of little moments I want to incorporate. To that end, I'd really love it if you have an idea for it, or just a one-word prompt for me. If you have anything like that-short prompts are preferable, I find them easier to spin off of-leave it in a review, or message me with it if it's long? Chances are I'll use it sooner or later if it doesn't disrupt the plot! If and/or when I do, I'll shoot you a message about it, and you'll be credited in the notes for the chapter(s).
