And suddenly, the City looks familiar! It's not quite the same, but it's pretty close to home! That's... nice on the one hand, but also doubles the nostalgia. One way or the other, it's pretty amazing. I think this is the first curse that changes the whole City that I witness

It really does look familiar, huh? It's almost weird.

[revengeisalie]

So it's similar to your home, too? I wasn't aware.

[kirinofen]

Eh, sort of. I was born a few centuries before, but I remember returning to Hourai when it looked like this.

[revengeisalie]

I see! What time period where you born in?

[kirinofen]

I'm not entirely sure... Youko knows the history better. It was around the time before the capital city was burned... Kyoto. Before the capital became Tokyo.

[revengeisalie]

... that must be at least a good two hundred years before my time.

[kirinofen]

Sounds about right.

[revengeisalie]

Must be interesting, living through so many different times.

[kirinofen]

I guess so. I never really thought about it like that. It sure is weird to see how much the country has changed, though.

[revengeisalie]

Hmm... guess it must've been something like my shock when I arrived here.

[kirinofen]

A little. En is more like this than the City when it's normal, though.

[revengeisalie]

Oh! So we're actually pretty on par, huh?

Isn't going to Ja- Hourai hard?

[kirinofen]

Right! I'm way more use to stuff like this. Though I was kinda enjoying the instant light and water thing.

Not for a kirin. We're able to cross worlds without much trouble. But only we're able to do so without causing damage to both the Twelve Kingdoms and Hourai.

[revengeisalie]

I absolutely know what you mean.

Ahh. And that's why Youko can't go back...

[kirinofen]

I guess this is a curse, though, right? So it'll all go away at midnight.

Among other things... bit it's part of the reason.

[revengeisalie]

Probably, yeah.

... hm.
