Here..?

[ Forget all the burden talk. It's in the past now, clearly - if not temporarily. Because Chizuru's attention is entirely taken up by the last thing the other says, her eyes growing wide as she just stares. ]

That many of you? [ It's mostly surprising to her because Chizuru hasn't really seen it before. Sure, some people seemed to know at least one person here who came from the same place as them, but it's the first time she's heard of this many people here coming from the same world.

And.. well, with her being the only person present in this place out of the entire circle of people she knows back home, it's just even more surprising to her. ]

.. it must be nice! Having that many people you know around.. It must make this place feel just the tiniest bit more like home, even if it's not like home at all at the same time.

[ It might make things a bit more familiar, she means. Which might be her projecting a little bit, since to Chizuru this place feels so strange at least partially due to the fact that no one here seems to be like her, or familiar with the way she lives her life.

Still, she's not the type to get jealous. So instead she just smiles, seeming genuinely glad for Palamedes to have familiar company here. ]
