[The base is the last place Mondo wants to be for any amount of time. It's too sterile, too cold, and way too much like that fucking school. He's quick to leave whenever he can, preferring to spend his time outdoors where he can actually see the sun. It isn't long before he makes his way outside and glances around at the numerous people in the area. He likes Goldenrod; it's a bit crowded, but it's a nice city from what he's seen of it.

That's about when he notices a very familiar white uniform and an incredibly happy grin appears on his face.]

Aniki!

[With that one word shouted, he changes directions to approach Ishimaru, slapping him on the back when he gets there.]

Shit, I was wondering if I was gonna see anyone else here! I wasn't expecting to find you so quickly though--

[...And then he notices the tears.]

Wh-- Hey, hey! There's no need to cry!!
