[ Whoa... How peaceful. ]

There's probably never going to be a train coming through here, is there?

[Kaworu is walking along the beach, judging by the foot prints in the sand, he's been walking for awhile. Occasionally, he'll stop and watch the tide wash over his feet or the sun reflecting off the waves. He doesn't seem to be paying anyone else any mind.]

[ We're reading books, nerd.

But first, Claude will look at Kaworu to see what his attitude is looking like after everything that's happened. He himself seems fairly relaxed and unbothered. ]

[He's sitting on the beach, arms around his legs and face buried in his knees.]

[There is a small child sitting in the middle of the common room. He has a bandage over one eye and his arm in a sling and is sitting oddly still for a child.]

[ Hello, and welcome to the funhouse, Kaworu.

You're trapped in here with Claude, staring at your reflections across an endless sea of mirrors when the scene begins to shift and change.

—You don't really have anywhere that you think of as a home, but that doesn't mean you're not attached to Derdriu, the city where you currently reside. You'd had to hurry away from a campaign back to the city to ward off a small, naval assault, and the victory is refreshing.

Like this, with both Nader and Judith beside you—your mentors from two different parts of your life—warming up to one another and bantering, you feel a comfort and belonging that has escaped you your entire life.

Ever since your migration from Almyra into Fódlan, you've kept your ancestry a secret. But maybe it's time to share a little of the truth.

NOTE—For context, Almyra and Fódlan are two neighbouring countries that have been at war for decades, and there's substantial discrimination between them. Derdriu is a city within Fódlan. ]

[Well if Claude had an inclination Kaworu might be lonely well... now he can feel it. Kaworu's presence is a force of curiosity, innocent yet demanding. A hope that with understanding will bring ease to a lonely heart.

Which explains a lot about today.]

[ Hey Kaworu, he's just walking along the boardwalk... Which is creepy now.

Waves at him. ]
