Mao turned his head as Riku spoke up and followed behind, wondering just where they were going at first. But then he noticed a small, somewhat familiar glimpse of light. Mao adjusted his glasses, shoving them further up his nose to make sure he got a good look at it as they got closer. Despite his best efforts, Mao had missed his chance when he had been sucked through the first couple of times. This was the first time he could actually examine it.
