Closed; A Meeting Between God and the Devil

Hizumi is five years old and moving for the second time in his life. He is also ridiculously, painfully bored.

His parents had handed him a rubber ball and told him sweetly to go play while they unpacked, and even now he can see the moving men carrying furniture from the truck to the new house. It's the first time he's been aware enough to know that this house was supposed to be his new home, but somehow, he's not quite convinced yet. It might have something to do with the fact that every time he tries to slip inside, his parents are there to gently push him out again so he won't be in the way. How could you consider a place your home if you weren't even allowed inside?

Well, whatever. He's in a new place, and his parents had more or less given the go-ahead; he might as well explore this new neighborhood in the meantime.

So, with rubber ball in hands, he begins wandering up and down the street, peering into the gardens of any houses that don't have fences blocking the view (and, surreptitiously, a few that do). It looks like a pleasant enough place, even if it's kind of dull. Hardly anyone's around, either.

Playing with a rubber ball all alone isn't any good. There has to be at least one other kid on this street somewhere...!
