「 When the Hitomi turns on, it's initial recording is that of large amber eyes, seemingly surprised at the technology that she doesn't quite recognize. It's only when the red light begins to flash to signal the recording that she pulls the device away to take a wider angle on her face, expression relaxing into something more indifferent; uncaring. Had this been any number of weeks prior, she may have been marginally irritated at having been in a place that she doesn't recall having ever been before, but-
Well, things are different now, aren't they?
With Lelouch gone, she has little reason to care about displacement, and so she doesn't. Care, that is.
(Why bother, really?)
Never the less, finding out ones location is still a priority. Even for her. So after tapping a finger to her chin a few times, glancing around at the surrounding area, she speaks. Her voice matches her expression; tone as monotonous as her face. 」
Where am I, and why am I here? This isn't where I was meant to be traveling to.
「 Although a year ago she might have blamed this entirely on the one she had formed a contract with, it's hard to when they are no longer there. A wistful smile is but a brief flash across her face in memory of the days she had spent with him. It would be much easier to have him around to blame her unintended location on.
But she knows better; knows it isn't possible for him to be present, knows it isn't worth wasting her time on nostalgic feelings and thoughts. So she won't. She turns her attention back to the device and glances to the side at the large tree in her peripheral vision. 」
I have other things I'd prefer to be doing instead of staying in a place that is clearly far from where I used to be.
「 So she will turn the device off, because immediate satisfaction is what she wants. When she doesn't get it, there's very little point - in her opinion - in continuing focus on something that is proving to be useless. Abandoning it on the grass, she begins to walk away from it. Perhaps locals will be more informative than a piece of useless technology. 」
