See, this is definitely a tale befitting a battle as big as that one, right? Something you'd only hear in stories, in legends. In tales of gods and heroes, something far beyond Chizuru's daily reality. It feels even a little beyond this place, despite all the things that can happen in Trench as well.

And then to think a good friend of hers was that deeply entangled in a story like that.. It's a little mindblowing. She's not sure she understands it all, even as Nara'a explains it to her.

But with Chizuru being Chizuru, she just politely smiles all the same, first addressing the part she does understand.

"Don't worry," she softly says. "I won't think badly of him if you don't want me to."

That seems to be what Nara'a is putting the most emphasis on in his explanation here, after all.. And the last thing she wants him to do here is worry.

"I realised that I only saw a few moments anyway, without all of that context you have." She pauses, seeming to think for another moment, and then adds: "Besides, I wasn't even thinking about him that much, you know..? I actually.. um, I was kind of worried about you, and all the big stuff you're involved in back home."

Sure, it explains a lot about why Nara'a often seems so freaked out about what may be going on back home. But even so--

"It seems like a lot to handle." (The understatement of the year.)
