Some are saying that those in authority here are gone. But why? Is this place becoming abandoned? Perhaps... everyone will have a chance to return now. Maybe that is why they have all begun to depart as well

I'd like to think they're safe at home, too.

[tree_hugr]

I am sure they are.

[downtorest]

Me too.

[downtorest]

Ah, what's your name?

[tree_hugr]

Martel Yggdrasill. [Happy faaaaceee]

It is a pleasure to meet you.

[downtorest]

[s-so pretty]

Martel-san, I'm Ryoji Mochizuki. It's a pleasure to meet you. It's so difficult to find people who shine in a time like this ... ah, maybe you'd let me get to know you better?

[tree_hugr]

Shine? I would not say that. I just hope that others can keep their spirits high. It is no help if you are upset yourself.

[A little pause. Just a little surprised anyone would want to get to know her]

I do not see why not.

[downtorest]

[He's smiling] I don't want people to be hurt, but it's nice when some people are able to show them that there is something after sadness.

[And then he looks absolutely thrilled!] We can go on a date somewhere sometime! Is that all right?

[tree_hugr]

Thank you. I am relieved that it can help.

[A little confused but then -!OH NOW SHE GETS IT. Que sympathetic smile D:] I am sorry but I cannot.

[downtorest]

Ah ... [He looks sheepish, rubbing a cheek with his finger] Is there someone else?

[tree_hugr]

[Isn't he a bit young to...? Oh well, she'll humor him, she doesn't want to hurt his feelings that much.] Yes, I am engaged. I am sorry. Perhaps I should have said sooner.

[downtorest]

Maybe the three of us can go out some time?

[tree_hugr]

I am afraid he is not here.

[downtorest]

Ah ...

Martel-san ... maybe I can't take you out on a date, but I can keep you company.

[tree_hugr]

[Smiles] That is very kind of you. Perhaps that will be all right.
