“Oh… What did they do?” Mono asked, only realizing after the fact that he might not want to know after the things he’d seen adults do in other worlds during the crystal rains. It tended to make him quite angry on behalf of other people who’d been wronged by adults. Even if he couldn’t do much about it, it was something to wonder about. A similarity to his world, even if it was only in one way.

The boy paused though, dark eyes widening a bit when she continued. “Wait, are you not grown up?” The boy asked, as if everyone taller/older than him must be an adult. Silly child, really.

Mono fussed with his hat a little, listening as she explained her work experience. “What kinda specialized things?” Because it seemed to him that there were a lot of empty spaces in the city or in businesses. Maybe she could fill one of them? Maybe he could help her find something! That would be a good way to help someone new, right? The boy might have been getting ahead of himself, but he was prone to it.

“Sometimes they put a curfew thing in place, and they handle some of it? But a lot of the time they ask the people in the city that know how to fight monsters to help make a group to fight a thing too!” Mono knew a couple people who had, at least. He hadn’t been involved himself, which was probably for the better… Plus, he was pretty sure the adults wouldn’t let him if he tried.
