Mindy gets here and, not surprisingly, waited to see what this Kenny kid was like. The arcade was, as per usual, all loud and distracting like it was meant to be. She had always enjoyed it, honestly thinking of the time her dad took her to places like these. They were a comfort, even now, with the watermelon size ball in her stomach of losing a best friend and coming to terms with losing her dad. Again.

Mindy wasn't happy.

But she could fake it, a little. It was rare to meet kids her age, let alone ones that had violence to atone for. It made Kenny interesting, and more importantly, human. She would meet with him, sure.

"Waiting long?"
