[Hueco Mundo]
Las Noches - Valentina's District

Mikael follows in Valentina's wake, hands in his pockets, his head swiveling from side to side as he absorbs in the details and atmosphere of this place. It's still no Tokyo, but seeing all these weird murderous people with holes in their souls going on about their daily lives is simultaneously comical and strangely relieving.

But... something is not correct. There is a dissonance in the symphony of this city.

After some hours of walking, Valentina might notice Mikael is lagging behind. He has stopped before one of the featureless beings, and is snapping his fingers before its face, trying to get it to react. "... hey, cat-girl. What's the deal with these ones? Why are they so silent? And why don't they have an animal motif?"
