Paying respects was a personal experience. Riley knew that. [break][break]Still, he wasn't entirely certain what to make of the other person waiting at the memorial. She was a girl, seemingly around his age, with pristine blonde hair. She was wearing a pure white dress, which struck Riley as a bit of an odd thing to wear to a memorial, but he wasn't exactly one to judge—he'd come wearing a jacket and combat boots. He looked like he were about to vandalize the memorial, rather than pay respects. So maybe there wasn't really a dress code for one of these things. Or... well, they were both poorly dressed. Either way, it wasn't his business. [break][break]Still, while the girl seemed fine to be in her own thoughts, Riley couldn't help but fill the silence with a question: was she here for anyone in specific? It was a bit of a personal question, which Riley realized pretty quick, so he went back on the question, mentioning that he could leave if she wanted to be alone. He was just a voyeur here, after all. [break][break]Her response was... strange. Really fucking weird, actually. Ignoring his question completely, she turned to him and asked if he was, quote, "satisfied with the way things are". In response, Riley stared at her for a moment, his eyes slightly narrowed as he attempted to process the question. Who the fuck started a conversation like that? Still, he gave her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she was building up to something. Her answer to her own question was clearly a no. [break][break]"Um... is anyone?" He asked, scratching the back of his head. "The world is pretty shitty at times. Wars and corrupt corporations and shit are one thing, but then you have stuff like this..." He gestured to the memorial. "A senseless, unavoidable tragedy. And it all feels pretty bleak sometimes." At his feet, Espeon's tail flicked back and forth. "...Why?" He added, wondering what she was getting at.
