Nida could count one thing as lucky, well… Lucky was a bad word for it, all things considered… But it would make catching up a little easier even with Mono’s odd ‘new’ ability that allowed him to skip ahead a few extra paces at a speed greater than he had been going.

The kid didn’t move like he normally did. Between the unfortunate effects of the signal tower that had caused him to get a little taller and a little more awkward looking, and the fact that he’d been sitting stationary on a chair for several months? His skills built up during his time here were a little rusty, and he was going to need some time to adjust to that on top of everything else.

So the thing that kept him ahead at all was definitely his ability more than his awkward run.

Even in trying to jump over something that normally would have been nothing, he didn’t quite land right and went awkwardly skidding and flailing a bit as he tried to catch himself to move on. “No, go away. You shouldn’t follow me!” The boy responded over his shoulder, fear evident in his tone. Not fear for himself, though, fear for what could happen to this place and the people in it.
