001 // Arrival

[sing_farewell]

[She appears to be lost and wandering aimlessly through the streets without any concern for herself or where she is going...or the fact that she is getting soaked]

...Mireille?

Comments

[eternal_fool]

You'll get sick if you wander about like that.

[Oh, and Minato has a large umbrella.]

[sing_farewell]

...I'm fine.

[hesitates for a moment] Can you tell me...where I am?

[eternal_fool]

You're in a city called Template, and you've been taken from your home world.

[sing_farewell]

Template? But why...am I here?

[eternal_fool]

There's no rational explanation for it, I'm afraid.

[sing_farewell]

I have to go back! I can't be here right now...

[eternal_fool]

There's no way to go back.

[sing_farewell]

There has to be! Mireille needs me.

Please...if you know anything...

[eternal_fool]

[Actually heaves a sigh this time.]

I'm sorry, but there really is no way for you to return.

[sing_farewell]

How can that be possible? I can just walk out of this city...and take a flight back home. That's all...

[eternal_fool]

Well...You can't even get too far away from the city. It just draws you back.

[sing_farewell]

How? Are we gated in?

[eternal_fool]

We aren't, but there's apparently a force that compels you to come back.

[sing_farewell]

A force...?

I will break through it.

[eternal_fool]

You're welcome to try, but I don't think airports even exist here.

[sing_farewell]

How could they not? Don't people have places to go?

How do people from other countries get here?
