[Hajime is deep in conversation with... the fountain? Whatever he's discussing with the water, he seems pretty upset by it. And distracted enough to not notice anyone approaching.]

[Voice]

People here just sometimes... disappear and don't come back, don't they? Different from what just happened. Not like when everyone had to go fight. He's been gone longer than that.

[There's a brief pause]

It's lonely here.

I'd never been before here, but it's pretty neat. There's so much to learn about and I get to see the other kids.

[He wishes there were more kids his age. It was kinda weird the way there weren't.]

[Ami has to genuinely smile at that.]

That's what I liked, too. I liked to study, and I wanted to make friends.

There aren't a lot of kids my age here, but I'm used to just having Shin and Mannen anyway. So it's exciting.

Growing up, I didn't meet many children my age, either. So I was very happy when I did. [They're sounding more and more alike in this, really.]

Most of the people here are really nice. That's been the best thing.

[For the most part? Ami has to agree.] A lot of them helped me when I needed it. I want to pay them back for that sometime. They'll probably help you, too. But you should be careful while you get used to things again.
