[ Kido just hums a little at that, because summertime... it's complicated. She likes it, all the warmth and the energy in the air, laid back and sleepy and unrushed. but at the same time, it's the anniversary of so many bad things— tomorrow is the anniversary of so many bad things- that all she can manage is a hum and a shrug. ]

It's nice outside. But I'm pretty much always indoors anyways, so it's not like things change much, cooped up in the same room all the time.

[ Here's the candy apple stall. They're all bright bright red, perfect for catching children's eyes, if you don't think about how impossibly red they are. Definitely not natural. ]

One candied apple. Do you want to try any of the other fruit?
