[On the mirror is a young girl, no less than seventeen. You would never guess she had a bit of wisdom beyond her years. After all, she looks so happy with all these songbirds around, some braiding her hair and sneaking more flowers in it than usual, some just... resting on her head. She wanted them there, okay.]

Wei? Hehe, it's working! At least,

FIRST!!!!!!

[oh how cute.....]

A hundred, huh? That's a pretty big number.

[ur joking, right!!]

[hwamei]

[she is serious this is her serious face] It is! Like, even America's three hundred or something, I dunno, and they say he's young. But I'm pretty young compared to him! One hundred years is a big milestone for me. I'm aiming for two hundred next!

[headedforhope]

[she just chuckles; while she's not entirely ruling out the idea of Taiwan really being that old, the girl's bubbly nature is pretty amusing either way.

Clearly the reference to America is just a numerical matter....yeah!!]

You seem like the kind of person who always does their best, so I'm sure you'll make it. [a pause, and Mami's smile dims.] Ah, about your question, though....

[hwamei]

[On the other hand, Taiwan is delighted to get some answers.] Yes! Do you know how where the exit is? Is there an airport nearby? Ah, I don't have money for it, though.

[ There is something about this girl that seems familiar!! And turning one hundred how suspicious. Unfortunately America is not the type to consider this much. ]

Taiwan, huh... He's in Europe, right? [ No she is thinking of Turkey wrong continent wrong gender. ]

That's pretty far from here!

[hwamei]

[ Wow America pay attention! At least mistake her for Thailand like you always do!! Some of the birds fly away when she makes a fuss. ]

She's in Asia, though!

[sheroic]

That's what I said! But I'm sure he's a guy. He's kinda cute, y'know, but not as cute as--oh, oh!

Unless you're from that world where I'm a guy! [ No explanation needed!! ]

1/2

[hwamei]

[ haha w-wha ] A world where you're a guy? Huh, wait, who...

[ That ignorance! Those knockers! Yeah, it must be... ]

[welljustwatchme]

Happy Birthday! [So much cheer. Even though oh gosh someone has to explain the two different worlds thing again.]

And, umm... I'm very sorry to tell you you may be stuck here a while.

[hwamei]

[ Isn't it so troublesome? But ah she looks so happy, might not want to ruin the mood. Wait, she already did. ]

Oh... Why? I was really looking forward to the party. Can't I go back? Just for the party?

[welljustwatchme]

Well... yes and no. [Being cheery is hard when you're talking to someone who looks so mopy.] The thing is, you'll probably be stuck here a while, but when you go back, it'll be just like you never left. So you won't be late for your party. If that makes any sense?

[hwamei]

Ah, I get it! That's good, haha! Does that mean it'll be my birthday here forever?

... [Somehow, this leaves Sayaka at a loss for words. Someone covered in birds.]

[hwamei]

[ ALL THE BIRDS. It doesn't take long for Taiwan to notice Sayaka. ]

Hi! [ The birds chirp after her. ] What's your name? Are you from here?

[tookupthesword]

[This feels weird for her.]

Uhh, I'm Sayaka Miki. And... kind of?

[hwamei]

Kind of? So you don't live here? Ah, you're not originally from here, then?

[vower]

[Odd spectacle with the birds aside, did this girl just claim to have turned a hundred years old? Or something?]

. . . a hundred?

[hwamei]

Yes, a hundred! I've been around longer than that, though... It's complicated!

[vower]

[Complicated, indeed.]

You don't look a hundred.

[hwamei]

For a human! Countries age differently, silly!
