Tokyo, Japan, Monday

Portalocity was weird. Ringo hadn't really traveled with them much, so this was something of a revelation for her. Somehow booking a reasonable late-morning departure from Fandom resulted in a just-after-dawn arrival in a small park a couple of miles from the apartment she shared with her sisters. Of course, despite that, all three of them were waiting.

Rika, with her knowing, motherly smile, managing to look like a carefully-styled model even this early. Mikan, tomboyish hair cropped short and sticking out every which way, smirking mischievously and tapping her foot with nervous energy. Ume, seated on a bench playing with her dolls, but glancing up and meeting Ringo's eyes when she arrived.

With a grin, Ringo dropped her bags and rushed forward into a big group hug, melting into the group for a moment. All worry and stress disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Now then," Rika said as they eventually disentangled themselves, "why don't you introduce everyone, and then we can go get some breakfast?"

Dante looked that way, too. "I dunno," he said, "She doesn't really wanna talk about anything besides those skates most of the time. What happened to her?"

"Well, we made her Queen when she was eleven, and that made it her job to make sure no one could climb the Tower. It wasn't enough to beat anyone who challenged her, she had to, well, crush them. There were dozens, maybe hundreds, of promising riders who quit AirTrek after facing her."

She sighed. "Never complained about it, but I know it wasn't what she wanted to be doing."

"Which I'm glad of, really. I mean, I would have been a lot more worried if my little sister liked crippling people for the crime of challenging her."

"Yeah."

There was a very long pause.

"That's fuckin' weird. Or something else. I'm not sure."

Wasn't like he had a normal childhood, but he was still pretty positive regular people didn't go around crippling other people at eleven.

Rika twitched a small smile. "Weird is probably a fine description," she allowed.

"But, anyway, that's why I'm glad you got her to go do something fun and harmless. So... thanks."
