sweet time outside // The Promised Neverland

Hobo Man for Ray

   Ray was just lounging around on a chair he found in the lot he bought, peacefully eating his pizza he got from a hobo. Ray didn't know, however, that the guy was just a simple hobo on the street. So God only knows (and the hobo) what the hell's on that pizza. Let's just hope there's no cocaine or something. Then he would probably get high or something.
   Ray also found an empty lot (that somehow didn't cost much) that he built a treehouse in. It wasn't easy, but with hard work, dedication, and help from Don, Norman, Gilda, and Emma, he did it. He made the damn treehouse. Ladder and everything. There was a lot of money involved, which they could only pay because Gilda got a small job as a fashion designer. Her career had only just took off, for they haven't been outside for too long. Only, hmm, about 5 years.
   After a while, Ray fell asleep. And then he dreamt. Dreamt he did, he dreamt of the hobo. He liked the hobo. He was the first person from the outside to talk to Ray. Ray liked the outside as much as he did the hobo. No demons. He even met a girl named Katrina. Katrina was a sweet girl, about Ray's age. 17. Ray got caught in a cave, and, hearing the noise of Ray screaming, Katrina found him. Surprisingly, she has great hearing.
   Being struck back to reality, Ray finishes the pizza. Slowly, he gets up and wanders to find Norman. He's normally with Emma, raiding a store or something. He decides to grab his phone (which he got from Gilda as a gift) and call Norman. He quickly finds Norman's contact and waits for a response to his call.
"Hello?"
   Just hearing his voice, Ray felt relief. He started to get worried, they were out of the treehouse for about an hour. He started to wonder if they found something, or did something. They could've robbed a bank for all Ray knows.
   "Hey Norman. Where are you and Emma?"
   "We found a place. It's at XXXX. Come find us!"
   Just hearing that made Ray full of excitement. Yay, another adventure.
   "I'll be there!"
   "Yeah, by-"
   Ray quickly hung up the phone and opened his map. A digital one, not one of those paper maps. Nah, those are long gone by now. Ancient history, you could say. "Hey Siri, directions to XXXX."
   "Okay, getting directions to XXXX..."
   As soon as Siri gave the first directions, Ray ran off. I wonder what's there. He watched and waited, hoping to find the building soon enough. Ray almost bumped into around 5 people before reaching his destination. It took 25 minutes.
   He looked about for Norman and Emma, hoping to see them on a bench or something. No, they were just at the entrance, staring at the sign for some odd reason.
   Ray walks up to them.
   "Yo."
   Just a simple word scared them both. They both jumped back, surprised. "Ray!" Emma puts a hand on her heart and sighs. "You scared me..."
"Me too." Norman sighs.
"Sorry."
"It's fine! Anyways, let's go! This place is really cool, and cheap too!" Emma ran towards the entrance, a small door leading to a big building. Ray walked in the building and instantly loved the place.

.(A/N) Hi there. I'm new to this so I have no idea what's happening to be honest. I just kinda let this slide into a really weird shitpost fanfic. So bye.
