[On the mirror is a young girl, no less than seventeen. You would never guess she had a bit of wisdom beyond her years. After all, she looks so happy with all these songbirds around, some braiding her hair and sneaking more flowers in it than usual, some just... resting on her head. She wanted them there, okay.]

Wei? Hehe, it's working! At least,

FIRST!!!!!!

[oh how cute.....]

A hundred, huh? That's a pretty big number.

[ur joking, right!!]

[hwamei]

[she is serious this is her serious face] It is! Like, even America's three hundred or something, I dunno, and they say he's young. But I'm pretty young compared to him! One hundred years is a big milestone for me. I'm aiming for two hundred next!

[headedforhope]

[she just chuckles; while she's not entirely ruling out the idea of Taiwan really being that old, the girl's bubbly nature is pretty amusing either way.

Clearly the reference to America is just a numerical matter....yeah!!]

You seem like the kind of person who always does their best, so I'm sure you'll make it. [a pause, and Mami's smile dims.] Ah, about your question, though....

[hwamei]

[On the other hand, Taiwan is delighted to get some answers.] Yes! Do you know how where the exit is? Is there an airport nearby? Ah, I don't have money for it, though.

lmao jesus I went to sleep and this is already 100+

[headedforhope]

[....]

I'm afraid that there isn't an exit. At least, not one any of us can access at will.

yeah i don't know how it happened either h-hahaha...!

[hwamei]

We can't leave? ... Why? This place is really nice, you know, but I have to go home soon...

goes to live in asia with you so that we can be awake together always....

[headedforhope]

The Queen who created this place wants us to stay; she thinks she's doing us a favor by bringing us here. Some do end up leaving, but it's a very unpredictable thing, and occasionally they're brought back.

I've been here for maybe eight months now. I've seen it happen. [her voice is gently apologetic.] I'm sorry, miss.

timezones are so cruel u_u

[hwamei]

Hmm...! She sounds like a bad queen, if she's like that. But don't worry about me, it's okay! All dynasties come to an end even if they last for years and years! I've seen it happen, too.

[headedforhope]

[At one point, Mami would have wholeheartedly agreed with Taiwan. Now.....well, it's not so clear-cut.] Mm, she's certainly childish, and not fit to have so much power. I don't quite believe that she understands everything that goes on anymore than we do. But still, it's possible to be happy here.

[hwamei]

[It sounds like someone's already given up! Well, Taiwan's not going to let that get to her.]

That might be true, but it'll never be the same without my people. So I'll find a way to go back as soon as I can no matter how long it'll take.

Besides, taking a whole country like that is very rude! I'll have fun here but I have to go...

[headedforhope]

[lol what]

...I beg your pardon?

[hwamei]

Taking an entire country like that isn't very nice, you know! I'm sure this place is great, but I gotta leave soon... [lmao Taiwan don't just rehash things]

[headedforhope]

....would you happen to be familiar with Austria-san?

[hwamei]

Yes! Oh, we don't talk much, though. I just see him around...

[headedforhope]

Ah, him? I was under the impression that Austria-san was a lady.

[hwamei]

Hahahaha! What gave you that idea? Austria's a man, silly! [leans in closer to the mirror] He and his wife got divorced a long time ago, but I heard they started going out again recently, you know!
