[That tell-tale bzzzzzzapping shock sparks through the communicator in Sunao's pocket. There's fumbling sounds, and then...]Has it been that long? ... I guess so. I haven't been keeping track of time the way I usually do

Seems more and more people are being sent home.

You're right... this isn't really a place for children. I suppose we should be thankful.

[mizu_isei]

It's strange. Even though I'm sure most of them are okay...

A lot of children handle this place better than the adults here. You're right though, they shouldn't have to grow up in a city like this.

...do you think Melody is doing alright?

[loyal_cube]

I'm sure she is. I wonder how times flows there...

... perhaps they've already gotten... [He can't say married, hes in a lot of pain as it is]

We're never given a chance to say goodbye, though...

[mizu_isei]

I know that when people leave, they return to whatever time they left. But... I'm not sure otherwise.

No... we don't have that chance. To say hello again, if we're lucky.

[baka_jyanai]

I could teach the kids to be stronger. That'd help.

[mizu_isei]

Hm... if anyone can do that, I'm sure it's you.

[Actually smiling a bit at that.]

[baka_jyanai]

And you can help!

[mizu_isei]

Hm. You know, I think some of the kids could teach the older people how to be strong, too. Like Hikari-chan.

[dontkickit]

That's true... It's hard to see that there are kids here. But I know they're well taken care of, at least!

Um... I don't really need extra help, but if you're bored, I'm sure we can find something to do!

[mizu_isei]

Mmhmm. Most of them are really brave about it. At least there's always people willing to help them out...

Oh? Do you have something in mind? ...I think I'd like that.

[dontkickit]

Kids can be so cute... Especially when they're being brave! I'll do my best to help them out.

Hmm... We can do whatever you want! I'm not too busy today.

[mizu_isei]

Hm...you're right. Some people can be cute and brave at the same time.

Have you ever visited the museum?

[moarcowbell]

I do.

[mizu_isei]

Oh? With what?

[moarcowbell]

You see, because I've gotten so old, I just can not reach the stairs to visit you.

[mizu_isei]

You'd probably get lost on them anyway.

I could visit you instead?

[ihasastrawhat]

It shocked you too?

[mizu_isei]

Mmhmm. That happens if you go a couple weeks without using it...

I'm usually better at remembering that.

[ihasastrawhat]

Oh... You didn't leave yours in your pocket too, did you?

[mizu_isei]

... Maybe that's a bad place to leave it.
