Riki is incredibly uncomfortable during the opening ceremonies, and as soon as he's allowed, he moves out from the crowd, heading towards his class. The uniform is too stiff and too uncomfortable. He'd had to go to school when he was at the orphanage, but he'd hated it. Too many people, too many sad looks when anyone found out where he lived. And now?
Now it's even worse, because it's a new city and his 'father' supposedly is looking after him. What a joke. What an absolutely ridiculous thing to think of. He's got no family. Not anymore.
Riki can be found in the halls of the Primary Cycle buildings, lingering near the club sign ups, or out near one of the trees on campus, trying to get rid of this headache. Why won't it leave? It's like he's dehydrated, but no... he's had enough to drink.
II - Off Campus
Riki doesn't want to go home. He wants to run away, but he's not sure where to. There's no point. They'd just find him and drag him back or something like that. So instead of trying to make his way out of the city, he heads downtown, moving past people and trying to ignore anyone's stares. He doesn't seem to care that he's a kid on his own.
It starts getting later. He needs to head home. He doesn't head home. Instead, he heads towards Hagu, not caring about the fact that he's way too young for most of these place.s They wouldn't let him in, even if he wanted to go in. He doesn't care. They can stare at him all they want.
III - Home (closed to Guts)
It's late. He's finally gotten home, just ahead of curfew. He's not afraid of some random person killing people. Maybe he should be. Maybe he should care more about his own life, but there's just... something. He wouldn't normally be so flippant, but today he just feels... more dull than he usually does.
He lets the door slam behind him as he takes off his shoes and starts towards the room that he's been told to live in. It's not 'his room'. That would imply that he wants to stay here.
It takes a while for him to finally fall asleep. When he does, though, he's in front of a ruined building. There's a car embedded in the front of it, and it looks like... it was some kind of horrible car accident, where the car plowed into a house.
Riki doesn't move, just stands there and stares. He's used to this. He's used to seeing this in his dreams. It never lets him get any rest.
... Though there's something dark moving in the corners of the scene. Riki hasn't seemed to have noticed yet.

Hopefully his 'dad' isn't home.
