It's been almost a week with Ren being dragged along with Mei and MK's shenanigans.

And honestly? It's tiring.

Rubbing his eyes, Ren blinked down at the arcade game screen, "Why are we here again...?"

MK leaned back in with a grin, "Because we still have to defeat Mei's high score...!"

With a loud sigh, Ren shoved the simian over with a nudge in the gut and proceeded to squint his eyes and stick his tongue out as he tried his best.

MK continued to cheer the lil demon on with whoops and calls, but in the end, the screen showed a tag.

'You died—'

"Awwww....!" Ren puffed out his cheeks in a pout as he glared at the screen, "What's with this terrifying level anyway!?"

MK laughed at his pouting lip and ruffled his fluffy locks, "You did good, Ren. Don't let it get to you." He smiled brightly.

Ren peered up at the boy with slight glossy eyes as he was reminded of Jinhua.

'Great job, Ren.'

Ren scowled and smacked his hand away softly, his face burning red as he stared down at his feet with a frown, "Yeah whatever... Not like I cared."

MK grinned from ear to ear as he watched Ren fiddle with his thumbs as he tried to not meet his gaze, "Yeah, okay. Whatever you say, smalls." He then glanced around to look for an easier game for the noob beside him, until he caught sight of something in the shadows.

A glint of a sun patterned cloak.

His whole body shook as he instantly pulled out the staff from his ear, "Hey—!! Stop!"

As soon as he called out to the cloaked figure, it started to run.

Ren caught sight of the same thing and tugged at MK's sleeves, "C'mon!! Or we're gonna lose him in the crowd—!!"

MK nodded and shot forward. Surprisingly to him, Ren could keep up no problem, he just assumed it was some type of knack that came along with being Jinhua's kid.

Ren took a leap and attached himself onto MK's back as he found the boy speeding up every time he took another step, "Turn right! He went into that corner!" He pointed one of his clawed fingers to the side as MK slid across the Aracade's carpet. He stumbled forward and ran into the corner to see no one there.

He almost ran into the wall until he felt his vision blue for a second.

Looking around his surroundings, he found that he and Ren weren't in the arcade anymore but a barren terrain that held only dusted sands and dead trees that were scattered across the area. In the center of the barren area, stood the cloaked figure with they're back turned.

Ren jumped off his back and stared at the figure blankly, "So that's who you saw. I'd thought they'd be more taller." He shrugged casually.

"Hey! Who are you!!" MK called out, but he only received a childish giggle that rang out in the air.
