WEEK 6

[lockdownmods]

[Week six comes like an ominous wave. If anything, the wall is more threatening that it's ever been. That sign from last week? Looks aged-- like it's far more than just a week old. But more than that, it feels like something is waiting to snap this week. What could possibly go wrong, after last week?

Said no one ever, at this point.

But still, if you look around this week, you might find out something. It's like someone has started leaving clues in places old and new. Take a look around.]

Yeah.

[maybe they should hang out here on a regular basis]

The stars really look lovely around here, but lying in the grass triggers my llergies a little, so this is nice.

[ Terra would like that a lot. It'd be their designated hang out area!! ]

It does, huh?

[ In reference to his allergies, anyway. But he's smiling...the stars would never be as beautiful than they were when he'd seen them from home.

But right now, he can feel so peaceful as of this moment, and it's a nice feeling. It's actually been such a long time since he's felt so relaxed. ]

I've done a lot of stargazing back at home, you know. Maybe we can point out some of the brightest stars together--it could be fun.

I think that would be so nice. You make the Land of Departure sound like a place where... the stars hang in the sky like lanterns. The city where I grew up wasn't like that at all. So it would be really interesting to compare them to this place.

[He settles into a sitting position where he can look up at Terra and also show a vague sketch on the notebook in his lap. A dense couple of skyscrapers.]

There are buildings larger than this... dozens of them, all in the same area as the grounds of this university. You call that kind of space a "city block". And they all have lights in the windows, which adds up to thousands of lumens, blocking out the stars. It's not actually brighter than a real star. The stars are just too much further away.

[ Mitarai's words provoke a memory recollection of sorts, and it's bittersweet, to think of it.

"Well, they say--"

"That every star up there is another world."

A starry night sky, a conversation between friends, and his own words alerting his two friends to his presence. Enough for one to say his name, and he'd continued speaking, "Yep. Hard to believe that there are so many worlds out there besides our own. The light is their hearts, and it's shining down on us like a million lanterns."

... As Terra finishes recounting the memory -- relatively quickly -- his gaze flickers down to the sketch the blond had drawn of those skyscrapers. He can't help but be kind of interested in their design. ]

So, it's something like that, huh? I've never heard of something like that being bright enough to block out all of the stars like that. But, if they're all lit up, that must be a sight to see too, right?
