[there is a small girl crouched on the back of a couch, delicately touching the Sphere with the tip of her finger. Everything else in the room is, of course, a wreck; but she appears to be too busy talking to the Sphere to mind.]

Hello? Can you tell me what this place is?

[tofindhappiness]

[--I know that voice]

. . . Suu?

[sotakemethere]

--That voice...

[sotakemethere]

Oruha?

[tofindhappiness]

Suu! What are you doing here?

[lastout]

You-

[Staring into the sphere, caught off guard again.]

[sotakemethere]

[blinks at the Sphere]

--Kazuhiko.

[lastout]

[After the way Oruha's returned to him, there's no more questioning what he sees. But he can't quite keep the tone of wonder out of his voice.]

Suu.

[sotakemethere]

Mm, it's me.

[unreal_puppy]

You look very familiar. [thinkiiiing~] Have we met before?

[sotakemethere]

--Eh? No, I don't think so.

[unreal_puppy]

[idea formiiiing] Ah! You're that girl from the Country of Oto! Although, maybe you're not her. Just looks like her. [bows] I'm sorry for startling you.

[when he stands straight up again, he's already smiling. And yes, Syaoran's still topless. He doesn't seem to care much about it, though] My name's Syaoran. What's yours?

[sotakemethere]

[tilts her head at that] Country of Oto...? It's okay, I don't know anyone here except for Oruha and Kazuhiko.

I'm Suu.

[insufferably]

[ Smiles a bit. ] A ship. It's called The Crucible. [ Sh-she seems so helpless. ;A; Wants to hug. ]

[sotakemethere]

There's a lot of people here...

[insufferably]

There are. Does it bother you?

[sotakemethere]

No, it's nice. I'd always been by myself before.
