Chapter 3

"And here we are, Lexs, this is the costume shop," says Sophie, stopping in front of a shop with displays of some Halloween costumes on the mannequins in the windows of the store. Ready to get in? —.

"Mmm I guess you could just let go of my hand, I almost don't feel it please," yes squeeze this girl hard, Alexs thought as he saw how her hand was almost purple.

—! Oops, sorry, I didn't notice, I didn't do it on purpose. She exclaimed as she let go of his hand quickly, clearly embarrassed that she didn't realize I was still holding his hand, "at what point did I take his hand, maybe this awkward guy didn't think I'm interested in him?" She thought to herself.

"Then what kind of costume were you thinking of?" The boy asks, not taking much notice of what happened.

"I don't know yet, but I'd like something not too flashy, I don't want to feel too nervous if people are watching me." She replies, thinking of a suitable one before entering the store, followed by Alexs.

Once in the store, they come across a variety of costumes of all kinds, from scary to some more comical and even some sexy.

"Definitely not one of these will be," Sophie exclaims when she sees the sexy costumes.

—! Why not? I think you'll look great, look, they even have one of Mocha!," exclaimed the boy when he saw a costume of one of his favorite female characters, "here they do have everything."

"Did you like that costume?" — asks the Pink Hair.

"If it brought back memories of when I had more time to watch anime, those were good times."

"Then I'll take that one." The girl responds immediately looking for the saleswoman to get one in her size.

"Good choice, it matches your hair and unique mm features," the boy replies, not wanting to sound like a pervert, which embarrasses the girl a bit, but still causes him to smile slightly.

"I guess now it's my turn to choose one," the boy whispers as he walks around the aisles of the store seeing some scary costumes, although he doesn't find them interesting and keeps looking, "Mmmm no, these aren't very classic, they'll all wear the same thing for sure."

"Hmm, one of those could it be," he thinks as he looks at some Victorian-era costumes and notices one very similar to what he saw in his head.

"This one looks like the outfit I wore in my vision when I hit the tree and saw that girl? — he asks himself

"See that Lexs?" Sophi asks, which surprises him and takes him out of his thoughts.

"No, nothing, I was just thinking out loud, I think I found the costume for me," he replies, showing him the costume he chose, which was a costume similar to that of the English nobility in Pirates of the Caribbean in blue.

"Then you're going to try it on to see if it fits?" — .

"No, this one is fine, it's my size so let's go, I'll pay," he replies, walking towards the checkout.

"Are you sure?" I can afford mine," asks the girl, worried about the expense the boy will make since the costumes are expensive.

"No, I still owe you for the day we met at the airport," he replies with a smile as he remembers that day.

Once outside, the boys are walking through a park near where they take the road to their respective homes until Sophie stops and speaks.

"You know, you didn't have to," he says to Alexs.
