[ onward! and through the magic of pcs, they do not run into anyone else on the way there. ]

Perfect, it's free.

That's surprising.

[But she'll take a seat, breathing in the night air.]

Well, people do somehow end up in the same spot. They might all be piled at the hot springs.

[ they pull out some chips. ]

It's a good place to deal with stress.

[She'll open her cookies.]

Being outside is generally better. Fresh air can really clear your mind.

[ when thinking about. you know. murder. ]

Whenever I couldn't sleep, I'd go outside and watch the ocean.

Back home, too? Did you live near it?

I wasn't always near the beach. When I was, I did. When I wasn't, I'd look at the stars.

Is there a particular reason you were drawn to them?

The ocean waves are soothing, and the stars remind me how vast the world really is.

... mm.

Do you like to travel through the ocean, or just looking at it is enough?

Looking at it is enough for me. When I travel, it's usually through stars.

... that's fair.

It is easy to get seasick, anyway. So that's probably for the best.

Have you traveled on the seas before?

... not across the entirety of an ocean, but yes, I have.

Did you like it?

... yes and no. There were times it was fun, and other times it was not.

But I think that applies to most things.

I think you just described life.

[ .... ]

Oh. Yeah, I did.
