Orihime watched in awe as the bright skies of Nautilus darkened, and gradually became peppered with stars. This wasn't the first time she'd seen the city from above, as it was somewhat similar to visiting Pillow and just...looking up. Or down, depending on one's personal perspective.
But there was still something completely wonderful about the prospect of leaving home to find something new and unexpected. She had no idea what they'd discover by leaving like this.
