[Triela's hair is down and she's in pajamas, and to be quite honest, it's only video because of tired, slipping thumbs. She's sitting in her bedroom with a stack of books and papers beside her; her chin is in her hand. Her face is faintly tearstained, but she doesn't at all look or sound upset- and she isn't. Just a little damp.]

You know, I went to

[clicks on, but there's a hesitance before,] Why not use the field?

Voice.

[snuffdoll]

Ah... out there, um- it's really restless. Not conducive to relaxation. I'd only get worked up.

Voice.

[elderyouth]

Oh. Huh. Well... Maybe you could get one of those windows on the ceiling?

Voice.

[snuffdoll]

A skylight? Huh. I wonder... I mean, I wouldn't actually ask to get one installed, but it's an idea I hadn't thought of.

Voice.

[elderyouth]

... It's hard enoguh to see the stars here, anyway.

Voice.

[snuffdoll]

You're right. I'm used to a clearer sky.

Voice.

[elderyouth]

At least it isn't too bad during the day.

Voice.

[snuffdoll]

Different, though.

Voice.

[elderyouth]

The... air is. There's a lot of smoke. Especially in one part of the city. And all of the buildings.

... What are you used to?

Voice.

[snuffdoll]

Do you know about Rome?

Voice.

[elderyouth]

I've never heard of it.

Voice.

[snuffdoll]

Oh, it's- it's the capital city of Italy. It's huge and it's a really historical place. There are a lot of beautiful things.

A little ways away from it is where I lived.

Voice.

[elderyouth]

So it was-- is... really different from here.

Voice.

[snuffdoll]

I'm more used to my actual home than the city around it. So yeah, it ... is.

Voice.

[elderyouth]

With a lot more open areas and stars, but less monsters?

Voice.

[snuffdoll]

Haha, a lot less monsters. Less people, though, too, when not in the city.
