Storyline Pt. 2

[MAYBE HAVE THIS SCENE BE VOICED BY LIJHO’S INNER MONOLOGUE AS HE SITS IN THE DINER]
The scene opens with Lijho sitting at the counter in the diner holding the necklace that Remi gave him in his hand. He looks down at it to examine it a bit, and all in all, it’s pretty plain looking. It just looks like a “lucky coin” necklace. Nonetheless, he puts it around his neck and tucks it under his shirt. He knows he needs to test it out to make sure what Remi said is true, but what does he hack first to make sure? He needs time to think. He’s just hanging out at the diner having some coffee, and also letting some time pass before returning to Lanferno, so as not to draw too much attention to himself. Hopefully by the time he gets back to Lanferno, the guy that was working the front desk will have gone home and the new guy will have started his shift.

Sitting at the counter of the diner, Lijho just tries to process all the strange things that seem to be coinciding. It could be coincidence, but he doesn’t believe in coincidence. Everything happens for a reason, and even if the reason seems random, he knows that’s not how physics, science, the world works. Just because you don’t understand why something is happening, doesn’t make the event any less real. He knows these issues are all connected. The sun seeming bigger in the sky, the earthquakes taking place, even though the Plate System is in place.
