>You continue through the back alleys once again.
>Every so often stopping to listen when you think you hear something other then the bell.
>They seem to be nothing, or at least you hope that's what they are.
>The three of you find another street you have to cross.
>Just like the last time there is some string and another sheet, this one slightly draped over the string.
>This one however…
>Your eyes tear up a little looking at it.
>You don't know why.
>You avert your gaze and continue.
>Hopefully there weren't anymore of those sheets ahead.
>They seem to be making you feel mournful.
>"Are uhh… are you alright?" Moonie asks.
>"sniff… y-yeah"
>Seems you're still a but sniffly from tearing up a while ago.
>"You're not sick are you?" She asks.
>"No… it's just… something about those sheets."
>You look back towards the street.
>"I was kinda kinda hoping you were sick… I mean…"
>Moonie seems to be struggling with her words.
>"I mean… I don't really know how to deal with other ponies emotions. sickness is somewhat logical and emotions are… not."
>She looks to the ground.
>"Well… if you wanna talk about it…"
>"I uhh… I wouldn't stop you…"
>She's being awfully nice, and she seems genuine.
>"I'm not really sure…" you reply
>"But thanks for asking"
>You look to Taku, who is smiling at the two of you getting along.
>Suddenly a sound drowns out the ringing of the bell.
>A cry
>Not a cry of pain or fear.
>It's a cry you are all too familiar with.
>A cry of something broken, something lost, something that has lost it's way, a cry for help from anypony, anypony at all.
>your cries.
>"What was that?" Taku asks.
>You stare into the sky as you pinpoint where the cry came from, eyes welling with tears.
>You determine where the cry came from and run.
>"FLOOR!!!" Taku and Moonie shout as they try to catch up.
>You dart through the allies and into the street.
>You turn to move down the street when you realize.
>You have made a grave mistake.
