There were sad goodbye waves. And some letters exchanged back and forth that probably never said much of note. And probably mostly came from Miki and Su, to be honest.
A few months would pass and then a special rare day happened. Adrien had finished a photoshoot at a local public school early and Nino had been hanging around for just in case and it worked. They were able to convince Gorilla to let Adrien stay until the time the shoot was allowed to end, though he was there watching.
A bunch of kids from that neighborhood had been watching the shoot - and waiting for their playground back. As soon as the camera crew packed up, a few of the older boys asked Adrien and Nino to join their pickup game of Basketball. But once they counted up, they were a kid short. Till one of them spotted a young boy in baggy clothes watching them from behind the fence. They called the kid over, asked if he wanted to play. And he did.
But then one of the local kids decided to be a jerk, shoving the new boy. "Why should we have to play with some sort of purple haired freak?" he asked, leering down at the boy who hit the ground. His long loose purple hair was splayed around him, his amber eyes wide. HE shook his head and got up gracefully. "It's fine," he said to anyone who offered to help, his voice quiet and sad. "I don't have to play...."
