Plot

Nana in the City starts off with a young boy who visits his Nana and her new apartment in New York City. He shows how much he loves and appreciates his Nana but he does not feel the same way about the city. The boy does not think that his Nana should be living in the city as he tells her, but Nana feels the opposite.

Nana shows the boy how wonderful the city is. She knits him a fancy red cape and makes him wear it, making him feel fearless and courageous. He still notices the things that he saw from the other day, but it is not as bad as he thought it was. He starts to appreciate the city. Later that next day, he agrees with his Nana that the city is filled with amazing things. He then confirms that there are many fun things that his Nana can do in the city even though it can get loud and busy. When it is time for the young boy to leave, he offers his cape to his Nana to keep her bold being in the city. After exploring the city a little bit more, he then realizes that it is a great place for his Nana to live and for him to visit.

gollark: Expect it to be kind of broken because nothing supports cubic chunks worldgen, though if you like I can generate the ores using a command computer as a backup.
