[ the feed opens to a view of the dying sunset and stays that way for a minute or so, until the sun disappears below the horizon, before turning towards the person who had made the broadcast: a pale blonde girl in very weather-inappropriate clothing. that much is evident even in the dim light. ]

I still can't believe this shit happens. And every day, too. You guys are all used to it?... It's fucking crazy.

[ but the sound of monsters rising out of the darkness makes her crack a smile, and she reaches for something leaning against the wall that turns out to be a serrated, saw-like sword. or two of them, even. ]

... Monsters, though, I know how to deal with.

The...sun?

[halfagirl]

What else would I be talking about?

[asano_san]

I don't know. Maybe something that hasn't always been in the sky?!

[halfagirl]

It's not always there in this place, shithead! Look what just happened!

[asano_san]

It's still in the sky! We just can't see it at night!

[halfagirl]

What the shit kind of reasoning is that? Where the hell is it, then?

[asano_san]

In space!

[Hopefully she doesn't ask him for more detail because he's been taking advantage of Siren's Port not caring much if Newcomers go to school.]

[halfagirl]

... You're full of crap.

[ STRIKE. ]

[asano_san]

No, I'm not. It's science! And not the freaky kind SERO does.

[halfagirl]

It's in space during the day, too, asshole. Got an explanation for that?

[asano_san]

Yeah, well, so are we and we move and then we can't see it until the next day!

[halfagirl]

... I don't even know what the hell you're even talking about now.

[asano_san]

Earth!

[halfagirl]

What about it?

[asano_san]

Earth spins around and moves in space and that's why the sun disappears sometimes but doesn't really disappear.

[halfagirl]

That's some bullshit. The sun's always been there, where I came from. And I come from earth, so I'd know.

[asano_san]

There are different earths, you know.

[halfagirl]

You're not doing a very good job of making sense.

[asano_san]

I'm not saying I know how it works, but a lot of us come from a planet called Earth.

Does your earth have death gods and soulless monsters with white masks flying around in the sky?

[halfagirl]

... You're still not doing a very good job.

[asano_san]

Fine! Don't believe me if you don't want to!

[halfagirl]

Sure, I'll do that. I don't really give a shit either way.

[asano_san]

You're the one who brought it up in the first place!

[halfagirl]

Yeah. So?

[asano_san]

Then you do give a shit!
