It's been a few hours since they were still waiting to arrive at their destination with everyone remaining silent

Vivian: I wonder if we can see some whales from down here?

Tracer: I doubt we could, we're too far above the sky

Vivian: Yeah, but I could see the cloud! They have some weird shapes!

Tracer: True, I see one that looks like Wolf! In a dramatic edgy pose *giggles*

Tadayoshi: -_-

Vivian: Tadayoshi! Look! There's one that looks like a dolphin!

Tadayoshi: I see it...

Tracer: ...

Tadayoshi: ...

Tracer: You don't-

Tadayoshi: I don't see it

Vivian: It's right there! You just have to look very far from here

Tracer: *chuckles* He probably can't see it because of his squinting eyes

Tadayoshi: ... I hate you

Tracer: Oh you hate me because of my joke or you hate me because you can't think of a comeback?~

Tadayoshi: ...

Tracer: I mean I could go easy on you and take you real slow~

Tadayoshi: Just stop

Vivian: ... I don't get it

As Tracer and Vivian chuckle from playing around with Tadayoshi, Amelia continues to look in disgusted by Tadayoshi being around Vivian

Amelia: Still don't get what's so great about that damn demon...

She turns at Kiryu who is still debating to himself what to do to which Amelia lets out a sigh

Amelia: You still debate about this? You've been silent ever since we took off

Kiryu: ...

Amelia: Look, Kiryu I think you should just stop debating about this. You know what he-

Kiryu: ... Tadayoshi

Tadayoshi: Yeah

Amelia: Kiryu?! What are you-

Kiryu: Amelia, please... I just need some answers...

Amelia: ...

Kiryu: So is it true... that what we saw is... really you?

Vivian: Kiryu! Tadayoshi doesn't-

Tracer: Vivian... just let them talk for a moment

Vivian: ... Ok

Tracer, Amelia, and Vivian remain silent as they move slightly away from them so Kiryu and Tadayoshi can have their conversation

Kiryu: So... is it true?

Tadayoshi: ... Yes

Kiryu: So are you here for your group to come and conquer Coltopia

Tadayoshi: No...

Kiryu: Then why are you here?

Tadayoshi: ... I wanted to start a new life, escape from myself... become a normal person...

Kiryu: Why? I thought what they offered you was something far greater than what the world has...

Tadayoshi: They did... but I don't deserve it after what I did... It's why I try to avoid getting close to you all...
