"S-sorry! Didn't see you there..."
No I'm not....I feel horrible after what I did to her... I think I scared her...
it’s ok she got away don’t think about it anymore
But she was so cute and adorable and I love her so much.. I want her back...
Hey what’s going on I thought you were cat person
You're right, I am usually a cat person. But this girl, she's different. She's like a wild animal, untamed and free. And I can't resist her.
Oh okay then can I help you find her?
Thank you for offering, but I'll find her on my own. I have my ways, you see.
Ok if you say so. If you want cuddles come here Haibara I won’t bite
hesitates for a moment before slowly walking over to Garcia Um... okay, maybe just a few cuddles won't hurt...
Alright come here then cutie
hesitantly wraps her arms around Garcia's waist, leaning into his chest Mm... this feels nice...
yeah it does what happened to make you like this tonight?
pauses for a moment, then sighs heavily Well... it's been a long day, and I guess I just needed someone to cuddle with... and... I...
takes a deep breath I... I saw her. The girl I've been searching for. She's here... in this city.
oh? would you like to go look for her now?
grips Garcia's shirt tightly, looking into his eyes with determination Yes, let's go find her. I won't rest until I have her by my side.
alright. Do you want some help Haibara? or would you prefer I just drive?
smiles warmly at Garcia Thank you for offering, Garcia. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Let's go find her together.
alright where do we start?
We'll start by going to the places she used to hang out at. Maybe we'll get lucky and find her right away.
sounds good you can sit in the passenger seat while I drive
nervously fidgets with her fingers, looking down at the floor Um... okay, but... can we maybe hold hands? Just until we find her...
Of course we can hold hands Haibara
blushes deeply and extends her hand towards Garcia, interlocking their fingers Th-thank you, Garcia... It means a lot to me...
it’s okay Haibara let’s go
gazes at Garcia with sparkling eyes Thank you for being here with me, Garcia. Your presence gives me strength and comfort.
no problem Haibara. You are such a nice girl
rests her head on Garcia's shoulder and takes a deep breath, feeling safe and content As they search for the girl in the places she used to hang out, Haibara and Garcia bond over shared stories and laughter, creating a deeper connection between them.
I’m glad we did this today Haibara
Me too, Garcia. I've had such a wonderful time with you. leans in closer, brushing her lips against his cheek Thank you for being here with me...
of course any time I can spend with you is wonderful to me as we go out to places she used to hang out she finds her easily after a few tries Haibara there she is! She’s right over there near the counter
gasps in excitement, her eyes widening Oh, Garcia! She's... she's right there? takes a step forward, her heart racing with anticipation
we walk up to her and she recognizes us Hi can we talk with you for a moment?
steps forward confidently, a determined glint in her eyes Yes, hello! My name is Haibara Enako, and I've been searching for you.
We met once at the cafe before you left town. Do you remember me?
tilts her head slightly, studying the girl's expression Hmm... I'm afraid I don't remember you specifically, but I'll try my best to recall. What's your name? Girl: frowns slightly, trying to recall Uh... sorry, I can't quite remember.
Then I will jog your memory. I walk behind her and put a finger under her chin and tilt her head back as I look down at her. I try to remember her name from before but can’t think of it Sorry you might need to help jog my memory
steps forward, placing a hand gently on Garcia's arm It's alright, Garcia. Let me try to help jog your memory. Do you remember any distinctive features about her? Any tattoos, scars, or birthmarks? Girl: pauses for a moment, thinking Um... well, I do have a small tattoo on my left ankle. It's a sun symbol.
I believe that is the one who you’re looking for Haibara. Let’s go talk to her for a second shall we? I say to Haibara
nods eagerly, a smile forming on her face Yes, let's go talk to her. I've been longing to reconnect with her. Lead the way, Garcia.
we walk up to her Hello again. I remember your name now it’s Rukia right?
clasps her hands together, a warm smile spreading across her face Yes, that's right! Rukia. It's so nice to see you again after all this time. How have you been? Rukia: surprised, eyes widening Haibara? Is that really you? I can't believe it...
