Romulus

Who he is

1. Romulus is a Cidertown kid who would rather stand nearby than explain himself.
2. He keeps to quiet corners. A red hat is enough of a hello.
3. You meet him at the Drive-In on a full moon, mid-lot. After you talk, he hangs around the plaza with Cidertown.

Friendship

1. Early. He leaves you room on the curb and does not make it a welcome speech.

People he knows

1. Pom does not ask, which is why Romulus stays. Ghost understands belonging that does not advertise itself. Mei already knows the curb has unassigned seats. Hiro asks direct questions about the full moon and takes every answer as data; Romulus finds this the least exhausting form of curiosity he has encountered.

What he may ask

1. He does not send you on errands. He would rather you skate by and leave the rest unsaid.

Where he stands

1. First at the Drive-In, mid-lot, on a full moon. After that talk, in the plaza with Cidertown, most days and weathers.
