>All your flying monstergirls jump away and scour the area from overhead to find the buyer
>After a minute, they race back and start navigating you towards them and your lost minimonster
>You approach from behind
>It's some little kid, can't be older than fourteen years old
>He's laughing and holding the happy minimonster in one hand, while he holds an icecream cone with the other for her to lick
>You watch them for a little while, seeing her play in his hair while they hit it off flawlessly
>Almost as if they were meant to be together
>Your minimonster friends frown up at you as a shadow passes across your face
>You walk over, and set your hand on the boy's shoulder
>"Hey, kid."
>He turns, looking up at you while his minimonster perches on top of his nose
>"I was going to buy that minimonster." You close your eyes, take a deep breath, open them again, and say to him: "You better treat her right."
>His mouth sets in a determined line, comprehension and wisdom beyond his years flashing within his eyes
>He offers you a single silent nod, the gravity of the situation apparent to him
>Satisfied, you turn and leave without another word, a single tear falling from your eye to join those shed by your minimonster companions.
