in this one Itsuki is the one who is found and escorted, the blond haired boy is friendly, the blue-haired one rebuffs any attempt at conversation. neither seem interested in giving you a tour, they tell you to wait until 'Masamune' comes, and you smile back and say 'sure', but then you're off because you're on a ship that flies in the sky, and there's no way you're going to just stand here patiently.
to 8:35. the place is massive, there are orchards, waterfalls, even a lake and a river. there are buildings in the distance, and when you look up you can see the clear sky. you feel a little grubby in all this splendor, there's dirt on your face and your clothes are threadbare in all the wrong places, but... the longer you look around, the quicker your sense of novelty wears off. everything that looks fresh and new looks.... familiar. normal. so what if you're a ship? there must be ships like this out there. it's not that weird.]
(GREETINGS!)
[you look down and you see the creature staring up at you. it holds out one feathery wing, as if waiting for you to shake it. you have no idea what's going, what is this? and why can you understand it? it's...
it's so.... your thoughts are rearranging slowly -- your earlier shock is rapidly vanishing, you're realizing how cute this creature is... and why can't baby chicks wear clothes? they should be able to do whatever they want? it's not that strange. nothing about this place is strange. you're safe here, you can trust it, there's no where else to go now -- this is the only place you belong.
you place the wing in your hand. where there were questions, there is nothing but certainty, and you allow yourself to be led into your new home.]
