I know the reason for all of us being brought here isn't known, but I've heard that a lot of people were also brought in from war, or-- some kind of fighting. So, er, I was just wondering:

I do have purpose here.

Maybe even moreso than I had back in Romdeau, even if it is far less structured, or plainly set out.

This place is rich in things to work for. Perhaps even more so, in the challenge of being foreign, in having to prove oneself to the citizens. There are so many things that could be rearranged for the better, and there is some home in the potential to actually do so. People are encouraged here, to find and to indulge their fancies, try new things out. Be reckless, with one another, without a care for any destabilizing impact.

It's almost unnerving, and easily disorienting, with how exhilarating that can be.

Quite the opposite, in fact.

... The lack of organization - would you say it helps in creating new purposes, then?

In some ways. In others, it can be very daunting. Confusing. A bit intimidating, to be so unsure of where you fit.

Do those moments have the tendency to work out in the end?

It isn't the end.

Not even for the smaller things--?

The things that are personally important have fallen into place well.

Do you remember those first few weeks?

Yes. What a mess.

...

If you had the choice to redo a few things that you've done since arriving here-- would you relive those days for that?

Re-do?

You mean...do I have any regrets, or are there moments would I like to revisit?

I think it's only right to say every person has a few of both.

A few, yes, but - enough that you would willingly restart?
