At an anime convention with Mirai

Murasaki and Mirai decide to make a day to go to an anime convention that showed up in town recently. Despite all the people there, Mirai convinced Murasaki that it'll be alright since at least everyone there shares the similar interest of otaku culture, this includes video games, and it'll be fine if she's got a friend to hang out with. Murasaki knew none of her other friends would really be much interested anyway. Knowing Mirai was gonna go as Rapunzel from her manga series, she decided against being the same character out of respect for her friend and instead decided and had a hard time picking between two video game characters she liked that she could pull off, Marianne Von Edmund from Fire Emblem or Acerola from Pokemon. She technically eventually went with a mix of both but the Acerola part is mostly due to them both having long purple hair anyway that would be pretty hard to tie up in a bun like Marianne does. Of course she can't forget her beloved stuff teddy bear, Bebeby before she heads out to the con with her mangaka friend.

They arrive at the con. Murasaki, deathly scared to take a train or call a cab, tried to run to the place as much as she could despite knowing her costume is both impractical for it and her huge honkers jiggling around would give her much more attention than she wishes. But she at least managed to not touch or be touched by anyone on the way there nor did she half to talk to anyone so her plan seemed to have worked.

Out of breath, "I made it....Mirai-chan!"

"You couldn't have taken the bus or something?" Mirai asks.

"Too....many....people.....too close....together." she responds through her heavy breathing.

"I forgot you're more afraid of people than me." Mirai retorts.
