Of course I miss it. What kind of question is that?

[sahasraras]

Just curious. I don't know a lot about the outside world and what it's like, except what I've read about in books, so...

[onlythesong]

You can't possibly have read about every world.

[sahasraras]

Of course not - I don't even know very much about my world.

But that's why it's good to ask, right?

[onlythesong]

That's true. Why don't you know much about your own world? [not judging, just...curious.]

[sahasraras]

I've never been outside before... so I haven't seen very much of what the world is really like.

[onlythesong]

Then this is your first time outside? [quietly] That's awful...

[sahasraras]

It's not so bad! The sky is so beautiful... and everything is so bright here.

[oh god you remind her of a certain idiot she knows]

You're easy to please. You do realize we've been abducted and are being held against our will, right?

[sahasraras]

Well, there's not much use being pessimistic.

[onlythesong]

You're weird.

[sahasraras]

No, I'm not! Being optimisic about things - that's normal, isn't it?

[onlythesong]

Definitely not! Most people freak out when stuff like this happens.

[sahasraras]

I already did! I'm over it now.

[onlythesong]

Already?!

[sahasraras]

Like I said... there's not much use in being pessimistic. It's... scary... being in a place like this, but... so far nothing bad has happened to me.
