002; we will fly sometimes

[kickhopping]

[The SFC comes on and you get a picture of the smallest, most deadly serious ten-year-old with a mess of black hair and large ears you have ever seen.]

Excuse me. [His voice is polite but strained, and he's pretty clearly trying not to sound frightened.] Can someone tell me where I am, please?

[reveringly]

[... Sakuya isn't sure what's she doing. She rarely talks to others-heck, she's never talked to others before waking up here.

But...]

You... don't know either...?

[Although her appearance is still very much her 'teenage' self, her tone is much more childlike: unsure and awkward.]

[kickhopping]

Well... no. But we can find out, if we find a map or ask someone.

[reveringly]

Map?

[kickhopping]

...yeah.

Um. What's your name? I'm Sou.

[reveringly]

Sou...?

[... Is it obvious yet that her people skills are lacking.]

[kickhopping]

[Abundantly! But Yaguruma soldiers on. OH HOW THE TABLES HAVE TURNED.]

Yes. Yaguruma Sou. That's my name. You can tell me yours, if you want.

...are you okay?

[reveringly]

[SHE'LL LAUGH ABOUT THIS AFTERWARDS.

She stares for a few moments, before nodding slowly.]

... Sakuya.

[kickhopping]

[Yaguruma... will not. I'm sure we're all shocked..]

It's nice to meet you! Now--are you all right? You're not hurt or anything?

[reveringly]

Hurt...

[Again, there's a pause, before she shakes her head.]

[kickhopping]

Well, good! Do you want to meet up, and we can try to find out where we are together?

[reveringly]

[SHE WILL NEVER FORGET THIS AFTERWARDS.

She looks unsure for a few seconds, glancing to the side, before looking back.]

... All right.

[kickhopping]

All right. Don't worry, I'll find you!
