[There video opens to a beautiful scene of a sunset at the Fishing District, sky painted in magnificent pinks and oranges that reflect against the pristine ice. A few moments later, a young man's voice accompanies it, tinged with the telltale slurring of someone who's rather drunk.]

Hey, question.

[A pause hangs in the air for a minute, almost long enough that one might wonder if he's gotten distracted or forgotten.]

Did you like your life, before the Storm? [. . .] If the Natha gave you a chance to go back, would any of you stay here?

[Kagari doesn't miss Japan. He doesn't feel homesick. He misses his friends, sure, but he's had more in the past nine months than he did in the twenty-one years before it. But he's starting to feel like the only one.]

What kind of dream's that?

[Funny, someone suggested this place could realize their dreams, rather than home. He's curious, if nothing else.]

[conqueredhearts]

To behold the glory of Okeanos and to walk those beautiful shores with my own two feet.

[hedonistic]

Huh. Never heard of it.

[conqueredhearts]

It is a tale where I come from and one that was shared with me when I was but a boy. Perhaps it is a childish and foolish desire but it is my dream now. One that I lived my life to achieve.

[hedonistic]

Eh, not my place to judge. What's this place like?

[conqueredhearts]

It is said to have beautiful golden shores of warm sand. The crystal water flows onto it and all is peaceful there. To witness it is a great honor.

[hedonistic]

Huh, so it's just like, a beach? I mean, I've only ever been to one and it was pretty awesome and all, but I'm not seeing what's so mythical about it.

[conqueredhearts]

Like a beach only more magnificent! Though, I suppose I have little room to judge since I have not yet witnessed one of these either.

[hedonistic]

Well uh...good luck finding your special beach, I guess.
