✿ Chapter 003. [Audio][Day 62]

[burntviolet]

[Hello, Asgard. You all must have noticed the fog cleared, right?

Well, now you can hear this familiar quiet voice, more shaky than normal, but for completely different reasons that aren't half negative- but not that positive either. Hanako still can't believe her eyes when she's looked out the window this morning.]

The colors... the c-colors returned...

D-does that mean that we... we can go back home now? Or...

[There's hesitation, and then an abrupt click as she puts the feed off.]

That would make a lot of people angry.

[They already were angry when Baldr sent out that message. This would just be the icing on the cake.]

I wouldn't mind staying here.

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

I don't know w-what to do for now. If only I could have my c-closest friend from my world, then I w-wouldn't mind staying here either.

[airborn]

If I had Katniss and my family...

[Maybe it can still happen.]

What's your friend like?

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

... She's someone who's f-from my same school. Her name is Lilly...

video

[airborn]

Lilly's a nice name. It's a flower.

[She smiles.] I'm named after a flower, too.

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

Really...? Oh...

[A pause.]

My name is... Hanako. It... it means Flower, t-too.

video

[airborn]

Really? Katniss is a kind of plant, too.

[She tugs on a strand of curly hair.] I like being named after a flower--they're really pretty.

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

Oh... y-yes, they are. I agree...

video

[airborn]

The plants and animals here are kind of different than the ones we have at home, though.

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

Uh... really?

video

[airborn]

No mockingjays.

But I guess they wouldn't have them here if there's no Capitol.

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

Um... Capitol?

video

[airborn]

The Capitol of Panem. That's where I'm from.

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

Oh... I've never r-really heard of it.

video

[airborn]

That's okay. No one else has.

Where are you from?

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

I'm f-from Japan...

video

[airborn]

I haven't heard of Japan either. See, we're even!

What's your home like?

[It's probably a lot nicer than hers.]

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

... It's kind of... plain, I guess. Not the best, but not the worst place to live in, e-either...

video

[airborn]

You mean it doesn't have colors like this place? That's no fun!

But plain's okay as long as you have family.

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

Well, there are colors- but... not as vivid as this place seems to be.

...

Family... [She suddenly becomes quiet.]

video

[airborn]

[Oh...she'd said something wrong, didn't she?]

It's okay... [She lowers her voice like she's telling Hanako a secret.] I miss mine, too.

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

...

[Very quietly, almost a whisper.]

I have no family. I didn't have a family for years. I doubt it changes anything about my world.

video

[airborn]

[...no family? No parents and no giggly siblings? That must be lonely.

No wonder Hanako's so sad.]

I know! We could share a family! [This is a good idea, right?] Maybe everyone else will stay home, but I'm already here.

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

A... f-family?

[ She gives it a short thought... naaah... ]

I don't think that's a g-good idea...
