Mizumoto Park, Katsushika Ward Kaito was out in park as the sun was setting. There was a lot less people here than there would be during the day, and Kaito preferred it like that. It was quiet, and people left him alone. The peaceful atmosphere allowed him to revel in the quietude and enjoy his own company undisturbed. The gentle breeze danced through the air, adding a refreshing touch to the pleasant time he spent in the park.
In one hand Kaito had his phone, and in the other hand, he had a teddy bear. 15 years old, and he still carried a plushie everywhere. It was comforting, and Kaito didn’t understand why age made it such a problem. The soothing embrace of the teddy bear reassured him, its significance a mystery to those who couldn't understand the solace it brought.
He sat on a bench, and started playing Digimon emergence on his phone. He wasn’t much into combat, he just liked raising and caring for the mons. He loved all of his babies, but by far his favorite Digimon was Bearmon. He had a thing for teddy bears, and Bearmon was a cute bear with a baseball cap. What’s not to love?
There were several other people in this section of the park today. That was odd, usually this area was empty and he could enjoy the peace and quiet. The two other boys were minding their own business, but the girl in the group felt the need to greet everyone, and point out that how they were all in the same section of the park. Kaito's grip on his teddy bear tightened as a wave of nervousness washed over him.
“Um… I-I-I guess so…” He stammered softly. He avoided making eye contact with any of the others, and just focused on his phone.
