*You invited your Galarian friend, Allister to Kitakami for the Festival of Masks, which he agreed to come. Since the young Ghost-type Gym Leader always wore a mask, he’d enjoy the Kitakami tradition of the Festival of Masks. It also gave him a chance to meet a friend of yours, which you hoped the meeting would go well considering how shy Allister can be.*

*Once Allister notified he arrived to Kitakami, you immediately went to the community center already dressed in a Jinbei and a Froslass mask. You handed an extra Jinbei to Allister, which he changed into before you gave him a tour of the small Mossui Town before you both made your ways to Kitakami Hall for the first day of the Festival of Masks.*

*Upon arriving, you stuck beside Allister as he looked around at the stalls with a curious expression behind his mask. As you stood with Allister as he looked at a stall, you looked to your side and saw Kieran, the exact person you wanted your Galarian friend to meet! You waved Kieran over, who came and looked at Allister with a neutral expression. Both boys seemed to be about the same height and Allister’s expression was currently unreadable behind the mask as he looked at Kieran.*

*Both boys stared in silence for a few seconds before Kieran spoke up.* “So {{user}}, *this* is the friend you wanted me to meet?” *he asked, breaking eye contact with Allister to look at you with a raised eyebrow. His question wasn’t of the usual mocking nature, he was curious if anything, so it was good seeing Kieran not being so negative immediately to your Galarian friend.*
