How strange. Hotaru, I... Oh. I see.

[a whooshing sound - this is Pluto, transforming into Setsuna]

I can't imagine this was supposed to happen, all things considered.

Then again...

[a pause, the sounds of waves audible in the distance]

Can anyone hear me?

Loud and clear. Welcome to the City.

Thank you.

An adequately vague name, I suppose, for a place that seems to exist out of time.

audio

[reginagloriae]

I don't know. Time passes here, but seems frozen outside? At least in the world I came from.

So it has its own flow of time, I imagine. It's not... unheard of.

May I ask your name, miss? Have you been here long?

Nakajima Youko. Not... that long? How many months already? I come and go, I got returned a while ago and spent months in another world before being dragged back after just a few days here. Nobody knows how time works in this place.

I am Meioh Setsuna. Nice to meet you, Nakajima-san.

I do wonder how people get pulled back and forth like that. There must be great power here, to manipulate time so freely.

[reginagloriae]

Likewise, Meioh-san.

Time and death. People who die sometimes return to life here. They are cold and without a heartbeat but walk like the living!

[134_340]

They...

That will take some time getting used to.

It does sound like those 'Deities' play mainly for their own amusement.

[reginagloriae]

I don't know. Some of them claimed they care about us.

[134_340]

Oh? That does leave some room for hope, at least.
