Shortly after the brief tour, Casey settled down in his office to deal with a mountain of paperwork that seemingly doubled over the course of her visit. Kira departed the Federal Building, but before she left, Casey handed Kira a duffle bag for the new training clothes and boots, which she stuffed inside and slung over one shoulder. As she walked through the building from Casey’s office to the exit, Kira couldn’t help but observe an intense, almost frantic energy around the offices and working spaces of the Federal Building. Everyone seemed so busy. Phones rang, keyboards clicked and stacks of paper were set down with such frequency that if she listened long enough, Kira could swear they made the beat of some fanatic rhythm. Everything seemed to be rising towards a fever pitch, a kettle howling ever closer to a crescendo as the whole city and country seemingly approached boiling point.<br/>Kira let out a breath she hadn’t realised she was holding as she stepped out of the building. The tense, stuffy atmosphere was gone and as she walked out onto the sunny street, Kira could forget about life's worries, for a while at least.<br/><br/><br/>The train rattled as it trundled away from the towering buildings of Scarlet City centre. The windows were open, a cool breeze washing over Kira who sat alone on a seat. The train wasn’t too busy, but a smattering of passengers mostly silently waited or quietly talked amongst themselves. Kira scrolled through her phone, pausing for a moment at a gif that was taken from one of Mongrel’s fights. Kira’s earphones hung from the collar of her hoodie, and she absent mindedly sipped from a takeout coffee cup. The bag of her new gear lay between her feet, which kept it from rolling on the smooth floor. When the train eventually came to a stop at the station nearest her home, Kira hauled herself up on a metal support pole, stowed away her phone and adjusted her sweatpants self consciously with a glance towards the nearest passengers. Most stayed seated, ignoring the teenager as she hoisted up the duffle bag and stepped off the train.<br/>As she walked home, Kira’s mind flitted back to the embarrassing scene outside the Federal Building, as well as Sabina’s angelic appearance when she rescued Kira from the crowd. She presumed she had also been fitted with training clothes, although judging by how easily Sabina had made both herself, as well as Kira invisible while wearing their ordinary clothes, Kira supposed that no additional durability would have to be factored in. As for Aimpoint, Kira had only heard of him by reputation. He was apparently very good at what he did.  She was glad she had Casey as her mentor. In any case, Kira looked forward to seeing Sabina again tomorrow, as well as finally beginning her training as a cadet.
