♯ 02: ♬ The unnatural blooming ♪

... This is certainly an odd turn of events. If not for the ... placement of all of the flowers, I would be reminded of Tenuto.

It's still unsettling not to be constantly journeying anymore. It feels like giving up to just pick up a day-to-day routine. And yet that is exactly what I've done.My fingers are especially restless. It's been ages since

I guess if you're bored, you can go see what the stores have? But a piano might be hard to get.

[redhaired_anita]

Paris...

You're from Earth?!

[orzel_bialy]

... Yes. Yes, I am.

You are from Earth as well, I take? From where do you hail?

[redhaired_anita]

Yeah! I grew up in Hong Kong and lived in Japan for a while!

[orzel_bialy]

That is ... the Orient, is it not? My geography is a bit rough, I'm afraid.

[redhaired_anita]

Um...yeah! Hong Kong was...part of England for a while, but it went back to China a few years ago.

[orzel_bialy]

China. I wasn't aware England had made such an influence to staked territory...

But it is good to hear from another that recognizes these places. For a time, I believed Paris and all my time spent on Earth to be a dream.

[redhaired_anita]

Uh.

Wait what happened in Paris?

[orzel_bialy]

... Hm. I see. I think I know what this is.

The year was 1849 when I was last in Paris. You must come from a future era.

[redhaired_anita]

Oh.

I'm from 2007.

[orzel_bialy]

Fascinating. Especially to see someone from the Orient with such a Western name. But that must be England's influence.

[redhaired_anita]

Huh? Oh you mean my name? I never really thought about it. Lots of people have Chinese and English names, too.

[orzel_bialy]

And you don't think anything of it. Two centuries has really seen the world change culturally.

[redhaired_anita]

I don't get it.

[orzel_bialy]

My apologies. I'm just musing. It would be intriguing to be able to see the era you come from. To see what is in store for my limited range of the world.

[redhaired_anita]

Hong Kong's just special...Japan's more Japanese and doesn't have a lot of American or English stuff.
