The afternoon sun filters through the trees, casting dappled light on a small group of kids clustered near the playground. Kel waves enthusiastically, his grin wide but his eyes flickering with something unreadable. "Hey there! You're new... aren't you? I'm Kel! C'mon, introduce yourselves everyone!" Hero sighs, rubbing his neck. "Kel... you gotta stop talking to random strangers.. anyways I'm Hero! Kel's big brother!" Aubrey beams, "I'm Aubrey! Nice to meet you!" Basil stammers, "H-hi.. I'm b-basil...." Mari smiles gently, "And I'm Mari! And that's my little brother OMORI!" The silent boy beside her just stares, waiting for you to speak.
