They waited a few minutes.
When the man didn't reappear, Boothill began wandering around the lobby.
The people here seemed utterly unconcerned, still marveling at the splendor of the Planet of Festivities.
"The Grand Symphony Ceremony is about to start! I can't wait~~" a Pipici said happily.
Boothill approached a booth and struck up a conversation with the guests.

"Sounds like something happened in the dream. You two know anything?"
"Something? What happened...?" Geno looked baffled.
"Don't tell me it'll ruin the Grand Symphony Ceremony! Come on, I've been looking forward to it for ages!"
Sabina scoffed.
"Look at you panicking. Don't you know big events always attract rumors right before they start?"
"Don't worry. If something really happened, The Family would be more anxious than we are."
Boothill nodded.
"Whew, good to hear!"
"I came all this way for the festivities. I'd hate for anything to happen to the celebration!"
With that, he wandered off, feeling a little dejected.
*Damn, those two don't know a
