[the device clicks on to record the Black Madonna's soft smile; it seems she's back home at last. one would be hard pressed to tell where she'd spent the past few weeks at all; not a hair is out of place, and that perpetual serenity remains uninterrupted.

when she speaks, the soft chime of bells accompanies the sound.Tell me, Discedo... if you

No matter what we desire, whom or what is brought to placate us, the ghost of familiarity is always fleeting, Madonna.

[there is slight amusement in her eyes]

One might argue that home is where the heart is. If your heart lies in a person... an object... a place granted to you, are you not satisfied?

[And he is clearly enamored by it.]

And if that heart lies in the hands of another? One cannot be sated, lest they are.

[pacifyinghand]

Laying your heart in the hands of another requires a perfect trust few possess.

[her look softens all the more for son.]

I would like to meet him, one day. I hope I'm granted that chance.

[pacifyinghand]

My sister is much the same. I hold out hope to see her again, regardless, just as you.

It's not too late for either of them to adopt a fondness for things they never thought themselves able to love.

[have a sympathetic smile, Alec]

I wish that for you as well, Alessandro. But is there nothing you'd like in home's stead if given the chance?

[sancta_sedes]

I don't h-have anything that r-really matters.... I-it's all just s-stuff, mostly f-from people buying f-favor. S-Sister is already h-here....

Is there not a place you like to go? Perhaps someplace you visit with her, that brings fond memories.

...I doubt I could wish for it even if I could have it haha.

But I wonder... would such a world still be Fortuna? Or something else entirely?

[pacifyinghand]

Do you? May I ask why?

I wonder. It could be, if the core of the planet is unaffected by such changes...

[lovelyscientist]

If you wish. ...But it's nothing stunning. I'd simply be too afraid haha. It happens.

I'm not so certain. A planet creates life; even when humans shape it, they are only an extension of that planet. But we aren't truly part of this world are we... Though we live here and we affect it, you might call us more a disease than anything else. ...Or perhaps the scientists are looking for a vaccine. ...It's hard to say.

[pacifyinghand]

Are you afraid of having that wish granted?

Or perhaps it - and we - are an evolution.

...

Hime-sama.

[pacifyinghand]

Miss Eirin. [slightly fond smile]

Hime-sama... someone precious to you?

[cozmic_travel]

Very much so. The Princess of the Moon herself. Kaguya Houraisan.

[pacifyinghand]

She sounds quite impressive; I hope to get the opportunity to meet her, one day.

Has she visited Discedo, to your knowledge?
