Comments

[saturations]

Yes.

[ This doesn't seem surprising to them, actually. ]

It seems to be a common compulsion. Has the answer satisfied you?

[pura]

... I don't know.

[What did she expect? She is now like, hm.]

Was this something you made?

[saturations]

it is something I created, yes. Perhaps molded is more the correct term. My power has been able to shape this space to my expectations.

[pura]

... So this design is something you're familiar with? It reminds me of home.

[saturations]

It is familiar to me. I have almost always lived in places such as this.

You are not the first to say this. It is a reminder for you, then?

[pura]

[She nods.]

Down to the kotatsu... Do you use it often?

[saturations]

Not at all. It was suggested by one of the others, for use by you all. To make the place more comfortable. I have no need of such things, but ... it was described as "cold" in here. I do not necessarily find it so, but that is what seems to be believed.

[pura]

Well... you're probably used to the temperature after having lived here so long. But for us, it's weirdly chilly. [A shrug, and a pause.] ... You're all so accommodating. Why?

[saturations]

Would you prefer hostility?

I have no reason not to be ... accomodating, as you say. So therefore, I suppose I am.

[pura]

No, not really. But... I guess, if you were hostile against us, I wouldn't be surprised by it.

[saturations]

So hostility is something you expect of strangers.

[pura]

Of course. Strangers don't owe you anything.
