Emilio had taken another day to visit his old home of Satellite and to talk with Fulfer. They hadn't spoken for 2 years until yesterday, when Fulfer asked him to deliver something. The citizens here seemed to hate people from Neo Domino, not that he could blame them. Most Neo citizens treated this place and it's citizens like garbage.
As a child, he had no room for ill feelings and thoughts towards Neo. He had been too busy avoiding his own parents and later, after his mother was killed and he moved in with Fulfer, he was too busy with his D-Whee maintenance lessons and his mother's words. Even now, most of his time was spent on pondering about his past, and his own purpose.
What purpose does a person who was never supposed to be born have...? he thought. These words passed through his mind all too often. Even now, as he sat on the end of the pier in the darkness of night, watching the lights of Neo Domino flicker across the river.

Aki came across to Satellite in her car, as she always did, driving. She wouldn't stop driving until she found someone, which she did, so she pulled up, stopped, cut the engine, and got out of her car. She shut the door and quietly walked up to the kid. She gently tapped him on the shoulder and said, "I don't think you should be here."

Emilio stayed silent as he heard someone come up to him. He felt someone tap his shoulder and heard a female voice telling him that he shouldn't be here. His silence remained even after she spoke as he thought more about himself. He knew it was rude to ignore her, and he didn't want to appear like that.
"Maybe, but no one has told me to leave yet." Emilio said quietly, "So, I'm content on just sitting here and thinking until someone with the authority does."

"Thinking about what?" Aki asked. "Not anything dangerous, I hope."

Dangerous? What could he do that was dangerous, besides work on a running engine? It was a good thing he was smart enough to turn things off before working on them. But what he thinking about... was a sensitive matter.
"Tell me... what purpose does someone who wasn't never supposed to be born have?" Emilio asked.

Aki thought about that and gave him the only answer she had. "I'm not sure." Aki said. "That is a good question, though. Why?"

"...Nothing. I don't know where the question came from." Emilio replied. He hung his legs over the edge of the pier as he watched the water below. Asking someone he barely knew didn't seem to be the answer. He would probably have to find the answer himself. He remained silent after that, his emerald green eyes scanning the dimly lit water for answers.

"Hey, what's your name?" Aki asked. It would be better to talk to someone when you knew their name. You just don't go to people and say, 'What are you doing tomorrow?', that just doesn't play out.

Emilio glanced up at the woman's reflection in the water when she asked the question. She wanted to know his name? That almost felt like a first to him, since many people only knew his nickname from his shop's name.
"Emilio... Katrea. What's yours?" he said. He had to force his last name out because he was still was not over what his mother had told him so long ago. His own family ordered his death...

"I am Aki." Aki replied. "Aki Izayoi and I'm from Neo Domino. Where are you from?"

"Satellite, though I live in Neo Domino." Emilio said. Why was she asking him these things? Maybe she was just friendly, which was what Emilio wanted to believe.

"Why are you out here, then?" Aki asked. She could hear him asking her the same question. Although he hadn't asked it yet, she was sure he would.

"Thinking. And what about you? You say I shouldn't be here and yet, here you are." he said. He didn't make it sound mean or cold or anything like that. He was just stating his reason behind his question. He added a curious tone to his voice, though the solemn tone that he began the conversation with was still lingering.

"I sometimes visit here when it's night outside." Aki said. She would go into an explanation, but she didn't. She really didn't feel like explaining it.

"I see." Emilio said. He guessed not everyone needed a good or complicated reason to do things, but he felt there was more to it that just a visit. Of course, he always assumed that there was more to someone or something that meets the eye. It made things less shocking or it gave things less of an impact to him when things happened.
