Weather? No, the most I've seen is rain.

[chromatized]

It's pretty warm where you're from then?

[ rummage rummage for more layers... ]

It snows sometimes in Trigleph. It's nice - but the melt after is always awful.

[rescuebullet]

I lived under an artificial sky for most of my life.

Is Trigleph where you're from?

[chromatized]

... A what now?

[ hello????? ]

Uh, yeah - I grew up in Trigleph. Julius and I have an apartment there. He worked for Spirius Corporation while I was in school.

[rescuebullet]

An artificial sky, with an artificial day and night cycle. So I didn't really have weather growing up.

[That's normal to her.

She nods.]

It sounds like a big company? Was it nice growing up there?

[chromatized]

[ it's not normal to him!!! ]

... So you didn't have a sun?

[ he can't imagine ]

Spirius is huge - it's definitely the major economic mover of the nation. Trigleph itself is really nice too - it's basically the city of Elympios.

What's the name of where you live?

[rescuebullet]

Not really.

[ A big city... a real big city, she wonders what that's like. ]

It's the TRC, or the Tokyo Residential Complex.

[chromatized]

[ the tsubasa reservoir chronicle... ]

... Like an apartment complex?

[ most people would say their hometown or something, so why...? ]

[rescuebullet]

[ Maybe that manga survived. ]

There are a lot of apartments in it, but it's more like... [How does she explain it.] The TRC is where everyone lives.

[chromatized]

Everyone?

[ he has a Feeling about that word ]

[rescuebullet]

[She also has some Complicated feelings.]

Where humanity lives.

[chromatized]

... So by everyone you mean. All of humanity?

[ just to be clear ]

[rescuebullet]

That's right.

[chromatized]

... Did you guys wreck the environment by draining it of mana too orrrrrrrrrr...?

[rescuebullet]

I don't know what mana is, but Earth went through something called "World Death".

[chromatized]

Why was it called that, Nozomi?

[ he's gonna have a stroke and it's not even his world ]

[rescuebullet]

[She repeats this like it came out of a history book, or it's something that was told to her very often.]

A long time ago, humanity's abuse of the environment reached such an extreme level that Earth began to wish for its own destruction. The will of the planet caused natural disasters and abnormal weather conditions in an attempt to wipe out all life.

[Sorry, Ludger.]

[chromatized]

[ he's just rubbing his forehead with his hand ]

Okay, well, I'm pretty sure Milla and the Great Spirits don't hate my world that much so.

[rescuebullet]

Is this a kind of religion...?
