...Chang Geng and Chinatsu were very good people.
[And now, they're gone.]
Tomorrow...we need to understand what happened. I'm sure both of them want us to find the truth.

To the stars? You all can do such a thing?
[bird girls in...space]
Did you find any answers yet?
[bird girls in...space]
Did you find any answers yet?
We will
[WILL WE]
We'll appreciate all your help, Meteion.
[WILL WE]
We'll appreciate all your help, Meteion.
Yes... with our abilities, we're capable of it.
[ she goes quiet at that last question. a kinda, uncomfortable kind of silence too. it lasts for a moment before.. ]
..I heard, some of the report and they are... wrong. [ her wings droop, hands rubbing another anxious. ] But I've.. I've been getting answers, here. So that I could.. share those with Hermes, when I go back.
Can.. Can I ask you, Hot Pants?

Wrong?
[Wrong answers...to what? She tilts her head, and then nods.]
Sure. I can't see why not.
[Wrong answers...to what? She tilts her head, and then nods.]
Sure. I can't see why not.
Hm. Those are big questions.
[Like, seriously. Really big questions. She has to think about it for a moment.]
I think...doing all I can for the sake of the people of the world's righteous hearts. That's what gives my life meaning. And to live is to...to walk in faith, accept forgiveness, and have love for one's neighbor, if I had to put it like that.

[Reaches over to pet her head.]
Not a problem. Though I can't see what a "wrong" answer for that would be.

[ their poor greenhouse... when Meteion catches sight of her, she'll quickly make her way over. the moment she does she's gently reaching out to take her hand into her own. ]
Hi, Hot Pants.. [ despite the array of emotions she felt from... everyone, she saw how it affected Hot Pants especially. she wished she had been in a better state to comfort her but it really.. became so much.
at least, she's here now. which is why she's sending some comfort, reassuring vibes. ] Are you.. alright?

[The emotions that come are...a mess. Sorrow. Anger. A...lot, but they're simmering under the surface, like boiling water under a lid.]
[She looks over at Meteion...and gives her hand a squeeze.]
...Could be better. I know you could be better, too.

[ She rubs at her amber necklace for a bit in one hand, to ease that calm and stifle those feelings. Still keeping her other hand in Hot Pants'. ]
It's.. hard every time. [ especially hard when she's feeling not just one person's, but everyone's feelings. ] I'm sorry, you had to feel so much today.
[ Meteion cannot blame anyone for how overwhelmed she got earlier, it's just how she was made. but it hurts that those she cares about had to go through more pain again.. if only she could ease it. ]

[ As you approach a house you know to belong to blue and white starbird... well, in this case actually Meteion now, it's like the feeling of living in paradise. There is lush green all around, with plentiful of trees, with a stone building with a small and ancient-looking spire seeming located on what looks like could be a floating island. In the background, you can see other floating islands, with blue crystals likely linking them together. Whether it's real or not will require some investigating.
There's an archway to greet you made of wisterias to enter, where you're greeted by the flyby of three-- no, four birds. The first is a blue bird, quick and shooting across like a star with a bright yellow one right beside it. A four-winged dark blue into pink ombre one seems to follow them both close behind with a rather larger raven with little beads interspersed in its feathers following not far behind.
A glance up at the sky shows it to be split right down the middle... one half being a welcoming dark blue with glittering gleams of stars whereas the other half is a rising sun horizon with blends of red, yellow and orange. Once you enter the building, there's a floating giant moon lantern in the center of the ceiling that seems to be in a current moon phase. Plastic glow in the dark stars are littered across all the walls and ceiling, the lighting only dim enough to show off these pretty stars.
One side of the wall has a tank where a familiar little ambystoma can be seen swimming around. Meteion will be found inspecting a table orchestrion with a sun pillow in her arms, though her wings perk up in greeting once she notices someone else is here. She also happens to be wearing a necklace that looks like a flower glowing a bright sunny yellow. ]
Hello Hot Pants! Hehe, isn't everything here pretty?

Oh, Meteion.
[Oh, she...has to stand here and appreciate it all. Wow.]
It's...gorgeous. Really.
[Oh, she...has to stand here and appreciate it all. Wow.]

[She comes over to lay a hand on Meteion's head.]
It's true. And its what you deserve, too.

Meteion-!
[Yeah, she's running up, wherever they are, to look her over and make sure she's okay.]
You're not hurt?
[Yeah, she's running up, wherever they are, to look her over and make sure she's okay.]
You're not hurt?
[ were this anyone else, she likely would have ran away but. Hot Pants would know. she would understand this feeling. ]
Hot Pants... it..
[ no. she's not... hurt. not physically anyways. helplessly, she peers up at her, a lost look in her eyes that are wet and red already with the crying she's done. ]
It.. it's happening again. I.. I can feel it. It feels.. too much.
[ today would have been the day to not have a hangover though, tbh. ]

[ today would have been the day to not have a hangover though, tbh. ]
I-I know.
[She knows it too well. The feeling of cracking on the inside. Emotions rising, falling, like at a whim.]
[She's bending down to embrace Meteion, holding her close.]
We have to stay strong, okay? We can't let that man get what he wants.

[ Meteion hugs back the moment those arms are around her, squeezing gingerly. a faint tremble felt from her. ]
O-Okay... I.. [ a deep breath. ] I'll try.
[ even if they may be on a timer now- just like before. truthfully, it's easier said than done when... ]
I... I don't want to think we've lost them. Bass, Riff and the others... We- We'll get them back, won't we..? [ she wants to hope they can. Meteion certainly knows she'll do anything in her power to if she can. but what happened to them.. she trembles a bit more. she can't understand dreamer's intentions. ]

I don't want to think that, either.
[After everything they did....she can't allow herself to think that.]
I'll fight with every inch of me to free them from their refraction. [She closes her eyes.] I'm sure everyone will feel the same.
