Mai POV:

Ugggh. This girl is following me? Well, I guess I might be the first person she's talked to. What's her name again...? Moriko? Well, whoever she is, she doesn't know how to leave so standing around is useless.

I began to walk around the place. This looks like the resorts I've seen on TV, but the atmosphere feels... Off. Like something bad'll spring up and... No, I can't think about that. Objective number 1 is to leave! Everything else is irrelevant. I will leave, no matter what.

"U-uhmm, Mai?" Great, Moriko is trying to make conversation.

I snapped my head at her. "What." My words came out harsher than I intended, and Moriko winced at my tone.

"W-Well, I want to get out o-of here too, you know! So let me help!"

... Well, that was unexpected. I guess I'll let her tag along until I leave.

"Fine. But don't expect me to act all buddy-buddy with you, got it?" My words were true at that moment. I wasn't her friend, and I didn't want her to think otherwise.

Moriko smiled, despite my words, and followed me.

We come across this tech lab. Or, I think that's what it is. The inside was messy and looked torn apart, and out came a boy. He had these digital glasses with green eyes along white hair with some green streaks. He was wearing a lab coat with a dark shirt underneath and some fire proof pants and water proof boots. Well, at least he's prepared I guess.

I was about to leave when Moriko shyly called out.

"H-Hello?"

The boy popped his head out of the scrap metal and looked over.

"Oh! Hello, fellow acquaintances!"  (Just imagine his voice to sound like Entrapta's) He waved out to us. I facepalmed myself, but reluctantly asked, "Who're you?"

He looked excited, jumping slightly as he got out of the scrap pile.

"Thank you for asking! I am Otaku Robotto! The Ultimate Robotics Student! I specialize with anything to do with robotics and AI!"

I raised an eyebrow. He could be useful if we-... I need him. He seems a bit socially awkward, but I don't really mind that.

" O-oh? What do you like to create?" Moriko asked.

" Well, I like to make anything really! Once, I made a microwave that can talk to you and clean itself! " He jumped a little again. It's like he's a little kid.

" Oh really? C-can I have one?" Moriko's eyes lit up a bit.

"Nope! It exploded!" Despite what he said, Otaku seemed very confident.

"Cool, so if you don't know where the exit is, then I'll be going." I said. I didn't want to stand by for some useless chit-chat.

"Ok, goth girl! I'll just be here if you need me!" He waved goodbye, but my face scrunched up. Goth girl? Just because I wear black doesn't make me goth or emo! Ugh, whatever. Just get over it, Mai.

I began to walk off, and Moriko finished her conversation with Otaku, then she began to follow after me again. I don't know why, but... I felt better when she came back...
