(39)~ Audio (Discedo)

[mizu_isei]

Do you miss anything from your own world? What do you miss the most?

[Meanwhile, Sunao is sort of taking a nap on the Horton rooftop (lying there with eyes closed anyway,) and resting from the usual water-making and purifying, supply gathering and running around.]

It's been two years. Sometimes it's hard to picture things...

I miss...flowers.

[mizu_isei]

Hmm... it's easy to miss those, especially if you're living in Discedo. Though--

Have you been to the greenhouse?

[verdantventure]

Mm. I loved gardening back home, so it's...upsetting, to think I haven't been able to in a while.

The greenhouse? Ah...I didn't even know there was one!

[mizu_isei]

It's being repaired right now... It'll be awhile until it looks the way it did before.

Did you want to help us replant some things? I can do some of it, but only what a friend here taught me--I'm not the best at it.

[verdantventure]

What happened to it?

Ah...I would be more than happy to help! And while I'm no an expert, I can try and teach you a few things. I-If you'd like, I mean.

[mizu_isei]

Well. Do you know anything about the explosion, the big one that happened a few months ago?

...I'd definitely like that.

[verdantventure]

I remember hearing something about it when I arrived. That was...why people started living in the other cities, hm?

I'm glad.

[mizu_isei]

Yes. Almost everyone left Discedo. I had to--I was taking care of two important people, and one was a little girl. Otherwise I might have stayed.

So...things around here fell into disrepair. It'll probably take awhile to fix everything up, but I'm sure we can do it.

[verdantventure]

At least you were able to keep them safe...right? I mean, that's more important than a city.

Mm! I'm sure we'll be able to fix it up better than before, given a little time. Besides, it gives people something to do, hm?

[mizu_isei]

I was...They went home, soon after all of that. But at least they were all right until then.

[There's a pause while Sunao tosses off the sad emotions surrounding those words.]

You're right. Did you want me to show you where the greenhouse is?

[verdantventure]

Oh...Oh I'm sorry. [ She feels bad. People returning home...it must be hard. ]

Yes! I would like that very much. If...it wouldn't be too much trouble, I mean.

[mizu_isei]

It's all right. I'm sure they'll be happy where they came from, especially Hikari-chan.

...oh it's not, at all. Where are you staying?

[verdantventure]

...That's good, at least.

I'm living in Horton, room 307.
