After taking a seat, Lucas proceeded to wait for the first race of the day to begin. The races usually began later into the evening, when most individuals are done with their jobs so they could attend it on time.
For Lucas, he could open and close the shop whenever he wanted, so he left a bit earlier today, leaving behind only Melissa. He wasn't worried about her as the shop was the safest place she could be. At the same time, Lucas wanted to cultivate a sense of independence within her, which was why he left her behind.
While waiting in his seat with his eyes closed in meditation, Lucas sensed a person walk towards him before taking a seat beside him. Guessing it was his seat neighbour, Lucas ignored the person and didn't open his eyes. However, the individual suddenly spoke to Lucas,
"Hmm? I guess you're my neighbour for today. Hi, my name is Luka." The young man beside Lucas said as he extended his hand towards the latter.
