✞ || FIFTEEN || [video] - Backdated to an hour post-sunset

[The sound of sporadic fireworks can be heard in the background as Midii's face appears, hands tightly covering her ears. The poor girl's eyes are red, voice quivering when she speaks. She appears to be huddled beneath an outdoor table, knees pulled up to her chest.]

I thought your American Independence Day was not until tomorrow, yet people have been setting these fireworks off since--

[Another explosion in the sky, loud enough to cause her to visibly jump, letting out a small yelp. She looks close to tears.]

Is there some place I can go where I will not hear them?

No problem. Maybe you could get some headphones, the sound-blocking kind next time fireworks go off.

I will ask Max if she has any.

Hopefully she does. If not, I can try to help with that.

You are a very kind person to keep offering to help someone you do not know.

Most of us are in the same situation, right? It'd be better to help each other out I think.

Not everybody has the same opinion.

[He gives her a bit of a frown.] Yeah, I got that feeling from someone else.

Who?

Just a couple of people I've talked to say a couple of people don't like help from others and all that.

If it was something I knew I could handle myself, I would agree. However, I also know better than to turn down help when I do need it.

Sounds like any other person. Everyone's different, you know?

It would be boring if everyone was the same.

Definitely.

Good luck with getting outta here without, you know, more explosions. Hopefully you can find the headphones too, they really help!

I will.

And, again, thank you for offering.

No problem. See ya 'round. After the fireworks, of course.

[A nod, and she quietly turns off the feed to wait for Batman]
