Xikkuyo echoed Axel's smile back at him as they emerged, nodding in agreement. "A world of endless twilight....."
It didn't make sense to her. How could plants grow, if the sun was frozen as it set? How could the seasons turn? How could people measure time? (Presumably with clocks, the same way they must in The World That Never Was, if it was always that dark.....) The sunset was beautiful..... But if it never changed, then even that beauty would ultimately lose its meaning. It would become just as hollow as she felt, looking at it and registering nothing.
She should feel more than numb wonder at the sight, shouldn't she? A beautiful sunset, a whole new world unlike any she'd ever dreamed..... Though perhaps not as strange as she might have imagined. It reminded her, disorientingly enough, of Inaba--the same sleepy small-town atmosphere seemed to pervade it, just from her first look around. Which seemed just a bit off, considering what he'd said when he mentioned what they'd cover today.
She might have been as quiet and easily led along as Xion, but at least she was a little better at asking questions, a little faster on the uptake, rather than waiting to be passively fed knowledge until she could cope. "How are we going to..... test my capabilities here?" Surely they weren't going to do anything to the people who actually lived here?
