Back where I'm from, there were never any seasons like there are here.

Every bit of the weather was controlled and left up to the desires of the people. Did more people want it to rain? To be sunny? For flowers to bloom, letting their petals float away on a breeze? Everything left up to a vote.

It feels strange to watch everything turn dull and quiet with nothing's input but Nature's own, and just as stranger to know that it will all bloom once more very much the same way.

Do you think that most situations can be like that- a two way street that has the possibility to flourish or fade away?

Or are there things that can't ever be changed from 'good' or 'bad' once they've happened?

Just some thoughts on a nice day.

It doesn't even have to be something major. Personally, I wouldn't want the sort of power that would come with controlling the weather.

If you do the wrong thing, you could cause a natural disaster. It'd be awful.

If it makes you feel better, there were fail safes. Nothing like that has happened, at least not that anyone else could remember.

I'm glad to hear that. I still can't say I like the idea of people being able to control the weather, even if it does mean having to deal with unexpected rain, but at least there haven't been any weather-related disasters when you're from.

Most things that happened were rather mundane, honestly. Anything that stood out... Usually, they were for the better.

We used to be in the hands of good admins. They kept everything running smoothly.

[Well, that... certainly implies things went to hell in a hurry, doesn't it? He's not sure he wants to ask, even though he gets the feeling he probably should.]

But that changed, didn't it?

There was an accident that happened right before someone else and I were pulled here.

I don't think the city will ever recover... It might be time to leave it all behind.

[He's not surprised.

It seems like disaster has a tendency to follow people who show up here.]

I'm sorry.

When I said those things....

It's not like I couldn't have known.

You couldn't have. That's alright.

I don't usually go around advertising my life story. I think I'm just coming more to terms with things, lately.

I think that's all anyone can do.

It sounds like a lot of people have come from... complicated backgrounds, I guess you could say.

That does seem to be a running theme.

A divide between people who desperately want to return home because they feel they have something they need to do... And the people who find this better than the life that waits for them back where they originated.

Those seem to be the common themes.

[Truthfully, Banjou would honestly rather be in Tokyo again, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't understand that there are people who have found a home here.

That doesn't mean he doesn't understand finding this place better for the people who show up.]

It does, doesn't it? I'm not sure any of us can control what brings us here, but as long as we're here, it's important to make the most of it.

There are worse places to be.

At least it's colorful and full of life, right? There's so many people to see, and places that everyone can travel to if they want.
