[ Maybe...he's just awkward?

He's not trying anything, which she appreciates. But she does wait, to see how he'll initiate. It takes a little while, but -- okay. She can work with this. ]

I think they're similar. I lived in a big city too, on the poor side. Our technology was similar, though we were denser. We had a big company doing research and experiments on people and monsters, but...they were evil, for sure. And kept a lot of their research secret. [ And the world was ending. ]

What about you?

[ no that's pretty much it — he's awkward. ]

Yeah, mostly. [ he shrugs, the gesture itself sort of dismissive. ] I mean the look and feel of it is probably the same — we have cities, we have buildings. The people all look like... people, and we had phones and stuff like this too.

But I'm not aware of any group that can do the things these Patho-Gen people can do. That kind of science is.. pretty beyond what the science in my world is still capable of.

But, uh. Did you say monsters? What were they like?

That's nice at least. Some people come from way earlier times historically. That has to be hard, you know? Suddenly the materials are different, electricity exists...I don't know if I'd like that.

[ She doesn't notice it, but she's relaxing. Moving her body helps, and easy conversation helps. ]

It's pretty new on my world, as far as I know. There weren't monsters when I was a kid. Then they installed the mako reactors, and a mix of the energy seeping out and secret experiments meant they started to appear in the area and attack. I moved to the city after my town became uninhabitable. They weren't there at first either, but toward the end, they were literally everywhere.

I guess...you could tell they were animals. Most of them anyway. I didn't mind those as much. The ones that looked like someone had spliced them together from parts...and some of them had been human before...those give me nightmares, honestly. [ Her voice has gotten quieter, tighter. ]
