Some time has passed, and Celcia's not alone anymore. Well, the numbers on her surface are nowhere near what they used to be.
Now, her residents are all scientists, studying every little part of her. It's annoying, but she knows they mean well.
They are studying her for good, to make sure she's getting better, stronger.
Dree brought her flowers, and let her 'taste' them first. Some of them, she didn't like.
They were sour.
But, some of them were warm and made her happy. So, those flowers, Dree planted.
Celcia really hopes that the flowers will like her, and spread, before the next visit from Dree.
She said that, next trip, they might bring some animals to keep her company.
But only if they can be sure the water is good, pure.
Celcia will do everything she can to help keep the water clean, if it means she can have some animals.
And, maybe one day, she will have people back, too.
That will be her favorite day.
