*Sitting on a bench out on a porch, watching the rain fall, a certain seamstress is deep in thought. Her eyes are looking out into this thin patch of clouds, where there's a small glimmer of stars whining through the gray. Suddenly, her phone jingles, and she absent-mindedly picks it up and looks at it

[polyculture]

You too, Shiki?

[so_sew_me]

*she looks over and gives you a small wave*

...yeah. I guess I didn't think I would be so far away from everything I've known for such a long time, you know?

[polyculture]

[coming to sit next to her]

I can't say it's exactly the same... but I didn't expect to be here so long either.

[so_sew_me]

*moves a little closer to him... for warmth!*

How long have you been here, Rakan? Longer then me?

[tigerken]

I've been here for a year too!

[so_sew_me]

*gives you a soft smile*

Where are you from?

[tigerken]

Japan!

[so_sew_me]

I'm from Japan too. Shibuya, to be specific.

[goofalot]

I think they're all doin' pretty well.

[so_sew_me]

What makes you so sure?

[goofalot]

Well, everything was goin' well when I was there on vacation.

[so_sew_me]

Sounds nice. Where are you from exactly?

[un_familiar]

Nothing?

*have a boy sidling over to lean on one of the porch's posts*

[so_sew_me]

Oh, I really doubt that. Shibuya is the type of place where things change in a week... or less, even.

[un_familiar]

No, I meant - nothing's changed? Here.

..and some people say that when you're here, time - it stops. Like a broken clock. Back home. So maybe it does.

[so_sew_me]

I've heard that, but sometimes I wonder. I mean, some people go back and all, but...

...well, it has been a year for me.

[godabutt]

Hah! They're prob'ly all lost without me.

[so_sew_me]

...eh? A talking glowing... person?

*looking down at carefully*

[godabutt]

...What, I got somethin' on my face, lady?

[so_sew_me]

Are you always this... uh...

*small short small short small...* ...diminished?
