Who: Karl Aurion/Richard Locke and Neku Sakuraba
When: 01/07/14
Where: Shooting range!
What: Neku thinks Mr. Locke still doesn't have his memories. This is not the case.

School had just started up, which... made a certain chemistry class really awkward. Neku knew that Mr. Locke had forgotten about the numbers and the network, which very likely meant that he forgot about anyone from the network. That reduced Neku to the status of 'kid caught vandalizing who's in that one class,' which isn't really a good jumping point for a conversation.

He's not sure exactly what takes him to the shooting range- probably a mix of curiosity and the knowledge that him even holding a gun would piss off his grandparents beyond reason- but the moment he spots a familiar teacher he regrets his decision. How easy would it be to leave with Mr. Locke noticing...?

Nothing could compare to the relaxation that being at the shooting range could provide. The feeling of the gun in his hand, of the noise-canceling earmuffs on his head and protective glasses on his face, of seeing the target ahead of him and of the nostalgia of watching his father do the same: it soothes him like no other. After dealing with losing his echoes (not fun), getting modified (odd, to say the least) and then getting the echoes back (even more not fun), something calming like this is more than deserved.

Once having fired off one more round (a good round, at that), Richard decides it's high time for a break. While pulling off the earmuffs, a chance glance off to the side reveals a familiar face staring right at him. He blinks before raising an eyebrow. An advocate of learning how to properly use firearms he may be, but safety likely had little to do with why he'd come. "Neku."
