[Kratos is standing outside his door, peering into the darkness of the night with his enhanced vision. He's obviously searching for something. The journal is on a nightstand near the door, though he doesn't notice that it's recording or that it's even open. He's just concentrating on finding what he's searching for, but his hopes aren't too high

[Have a girl that looks like she'd fallen onto a gravel road from all the little bandaids on her knees, arms and cheeks. Her voice is very soft and shy.]

E-Excuse me, sir... Can you tell me where the base is? I-I guess I got lost.

[salvationfound]

[He sees she has no wings, but first, he'll answer her question. With a question of his own.]

The base?

[warmechanism]

[She's very glad her wings can't be seen, it means her weapon is away. But she's looking at his with a small smile.]

A-Ah! The military base! Or maybe I'm too far away.

[salvationfound]

...

There is no military base here.

[warmechanism]

Then I really did get lost. Where are we, then?

[salvationfound]

You are in a village called Luceti. I assume you're not from here.

[warmechanism]

...N-No... Are we even in Japan anymore?

[salvationfound]

Some of the residents here come from a place with that name. Unfortunately, this world is far beyond Japan.

[warmechanism]

[Oh no no no, that's not good at all. She drew in a breath, trying not to cry, because Shuji would surely have disliked it, especially since the tears would have been for him. Instead, she bows deeply.]

I-I'm sorry. My name is Chise.

[salvationfound]

...I am Kratos.

[Now that names are exchanged, he steps off of the porch and towards her.]

You don't have the mark of the other villagers. Why is that?

[warmechanism]

The mark? You mean your wings? I don't know...

[salvationfound]

No other person in this world is without their wings. To bring someone here without them...

You'll be asked many questions in your stay here.

[warmechanism]

That's alright... D-Does that mean there's no war here?

[salvationfound]

Not necessarily.

[warmechanism]

I guess that that's something, then.

Once you learn of the difficulties we have to face, you may wish to return to where you came from.
