The sound of someone hitting the ground, followed by a large amount of crying, was more than a little unexpected. Three weeks ago, Neku would've turned up his headphones and left. The thought was still tempting; it wasn't his kid, and he didn't know how to deal with crying little kids. The circumstances were pretty exceptional, though. This was some sort of twisted game by that Omni person. Possibly Joshua in disguise, though that possibility really didn't track. For all he knew, the first mission would come in a few minutes.
That in mind, Neku held up a hand with two fingers, the sign for "bookmark the conversation", and walked over to the little girl. He noticed her pointed ears but didn't pay much attention. Maybe it was near Halloween. The orange-haired kid knelt down next to her and stood there for a couple seconds, trying to figure out what to say. He couldn't tell her what he thought was going on, so...
"Hey. Are you alright? My name's Neku. What's yours?"
