[ When tomorrow begins isn't a question 9S believes he could answer, nor does he desire to when it means they may have to potentially depart. With so much uncertainty lingering within Oska's halls, 9S decides it's probably time to pry himself away from the crowds, if only for a little while.
And a nighttime sky is still a new enough novelty to him that he's willing to venture out into the dark. It's not as if he has anything to worry about out here, anyway... There's always Pod, his floating robotic companion, to hover over 9S' shoulder and beam its flashlight ahead of them if needed, too. Which it does; it's a dull light that illuminates just enough to view the outward path 9S takes toward the lake.
He had every intention of simply passing by during his leisurely stroll, too, until he spots someone kneeled down along the shoreline. Curiously, 9S goes to see who it is...
Only to spot the swarm of tentacles stretched out from underneath the water, one by one sinking back underneath, and one in particular laid over the man's shoe. ]
What the— [ 9S interrupts the moment in his surprise, absentmindedly taking a few steps back. ] ... What the heck is that?
[ Sorry for ruining the romantic atmosphere, Asher. ]
