The 1st Spark | [video - action]

[ The video feed turns on, showing a young guy, around 17 years old, his head and naked torso dripping wet. He seemed to be panting, as if he just ran a marathon, holding the journal up to his face. ]

Hah...hah...Has anyone...ha...seen a glove? ...Black...hah... with a sun on the back. Fits on the right hand. [ He takes a breath. ] Please! It's important to me! Anyone there? [ The video feed turns off, just as the boy was going to say more. ]

---

[ Shingo can later be found in the plaza, still soaked, still half naked, glove on his left hand, nothing on the other. He keeps calling out to people passing by, asking if they've seen a glove identical to the one he's wearing. His expression looks crestfallen, he has no idea what he's gonna do if he doesn't find it. ]

N-not even just lying around? I have one, but I have no idea where the other went!

[cherishedmiracle]

N-no, I don't think so... I'm sorry! Um... You could check the clothing or item store though! There's a chance that they may be there, I think..

[dudewheresmyflame]

Y-yeah, that's what everyone else said. I'm just worried it wont' be there, cause they said it was weird that when I woke up here, I still had one of my gloves, but the other one is missing.

[cherishedmiracle]

W-well... Even if it isn't there now, there's always the chance that it'll show up another time!

[dudewheresmyflame]

Yeah, guess you're right. I'm just really really...agh. I could never forgive myself if I lose it.

[cherishedmiracle]

I see... Is it important to you...?

[dudewheresmyflame]

Yes, it was given to me by Kyo-senpai. It's really really important! See, he gave it to me after the progress I made in my first tournament, and it's been with me ever since. I know he wouldn't be mad if I lost it...but still.

You said the clothing shop, right?

[cherishedmiracle]

I see... [No she doesn't. She has no idea what you're talking about, really. Tournament? Wha.]

But u-um... yes! The clothing shop is in the plaza, so I think you'll be able to find it there.

[dudewheresmyflame]

I'm actually in the plaza right now! Which way is it? What does it look like?

[cherishedmiracle]

It's um... southwest of the plaza, I think! It's right next to a bridge.

[dudewheresmyflame]

I see, I see. I have to thank you then..um... [ Names. Of course. How could he forget them? ]

Um...I'm Shingo! And you?

[cherishedmiracle]

Mm! You're welcome.

My name's Nagisa! Nagisa Furukawa. It's very nice to meet you, Shingo.
