The Emporium [Locked to newtovideondvd]
There had been so much going on recently that Aile just needed a break from everything, even the Nexus, which had been her occasional refuge in the past. She'd picked the Emporium for one reason -- there were always a lot of people around, and if she parked herself on a bench there was nearly zero chance that she'd have to deal with quiet at any point in time. And while she'd been able to deal with that kind of loneliness with the help of the Livemetals, it wasn't what she needed when she was trying to think. So she sat on the bench with her eyes closed, letting the world pass over her.
