[ It's one of the apartments given to the Transports, although it would be hard to see considering the low lights and the heavy drapes over the windows. The only brightness in the room is that cast off by the tablet's screen and the end of a cigarette. In the glow, Sho's skin looks far too pale and his blue eyes almost having a reflective sheen to them. ]

Is it usual for people to disappear without a word? Just curious.

And whoever's assigned to room 808, don't move the blinds. I'd hate to die a lingering death of getting too much sunlight.

Hmm, there were stories about Zanarakand. It was a city that was destroyed a thousand years ago, but before that it was full of machina and the city never slept. Buildings so tall... and all lit up at night... they say it was beautiful.

[urnotafraid]

...Sounds like a lot of cities in back home, though most might look beautiful but a lot of them were only that way from the outside. Inside, they just had a lot of grime like any other city you can find.

[defeat_sorrow]

I don't know if Zanarkand was dirty or not when it was populated. When I saw it, it had been in ruins for a thousand years.

[urnotafraid]

It probably was. Most cities are, once people are in it.

[defeat_sorrow]

Oh.

[That's a bit disappointing.]

Did you used to live in a big city?

[urnotafraid]

I did. It was Mallepa on the ocean in a place called China.

[defeat_sorrow]

I lived by the ocean, too! It was in Besaid, though--a tiny little village. But we were happy there.

[urnotafraid]

For all it's problems, I was happy in Mallepa too. It's home after all.
