[Shiki's currently busy moving things around in her shop, rearranging new displays on either side of the door. These displays? Well, they're hats, specifically ones that Molly made before she left and Shiki herself is wearing a new hat instead of her usual one.]...I always knew that girl was smarter than most. Hope she made it back okay

[...Ethan is shopping.]

[Ethan. Is shopping.]

[Okay, not really shopping, just... well, in this new world, he's started to be almost self-conscious about the prison hat. Maybe he can buy a new one?]

[He's quietly minding his own business, looking at the hats in the most inconspicuous way he can manage.]

[so_shik]

[Shiki's never seen you before, Ethan. So really, don't mind her watching out of the corner of her eye, just monitoring him for a few moments. This is new.]

[Ethan's good at telling when he's being watched, but it's just the girl who runs the store. Somehow, he doubts there's anything dangerous about that.]

[He's decided that all the hats here seem a little too... style-oriented for his purposes, and he'd probably look ridiculous. Maybe he'll just stick to the prison hat for now... He turns to leave.]

[so_shik]

...hey! [There's no way Shiki's just going to let somebody wander without buying...or even talking.]
