Ignoring my struggle for survival against the whims of fate...
Addie had departed her spaceship and began her search.
Her demeanor and situation were the opposite of my own.
She was aimless, yet determined and in good spirits.

![Everything's goin' my way! Nothing can stop me now! Addie rounds a corner, completely unaware of the man sprinting after her.](010031.png)
What a gorgeous day! I can't believe I was so nervous.
![YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO PARK THERE! SPECIFICALLY, MY FACE! Baron, a rabbit man, slides around a corner, pointing a finger at Addie, who is offscreen with only the end of her tail visible on the left of the screen.](010032.png)
Hm-hmm?
![This is the most intense staring contest of all time. Animation: .](010033.gif)
State your business and state it quick.
Last guy who snuck up on me wasn't as lucky as you are.
He'd already tasted my blade ten times over before his meat hit the ground.

You're one to talk. Speak, or die.
![Do I feel cool? Yes. The image is from Addie's perspective. Baron the rabbit has a sword tip pressed against his throat, he looks up at the viewer, a cold rage in his eyes.](010034.png)
Is that so? I am no alien. I was born and raised in this country.
Where, pray tell, have I landed my ship?

![All this, over a parking dispute? The image is from Baron's perspective. Addie continues to hold up her sword, but her expression is horrified.](010035.png)
Wait, you were going to kill me because I parked my ship in the wrong place?
Addie, realizing this man didn't mean any harm, let go of him and sheathed her sword.
He coughed several times, desperately trying to catch his breath.

![Nearly had a heart attack, there. Addie lays a hand on Baron's back while he catches his breath. She has sheathed her sword. Tolikra's skyline is visible in the background.](010036.png)
Wait, how did you know I was from the East Coast?
![Is this some kind of old stereotype? Am I being mocked? The image is from Baron's perspective, looking up at Addie. Addie eyes him suspiciously, the sky visible behind her head.](010037.png)
Hey. What did you mean by that?
Baron invited her in, so they could speak, and so he could calm himself down.
Addie snickered at his invitation to have tea, but she accepted and followed him.
Meanwhile, a certain cat descended into the dark world of public transport.
