[ Chizuru makes sure to look along as Palamedes starts pointing out his friends in the crowd. Looking at them, Chizuru doesn't recognize any of them as people she has interacted with before - though she figures that maybe she should change that, considering how kind Palamedes has turned out to be as well, despite looking like an intimidating eyeball person. It must mean that his friends are nice too, right..?

.. though then there's that question. The one that makes her slowly shake her head. ]

No.. I'm the only one. [ There's definitely some sadness in her tone as she says that.

But on the other hand, Chizuru knows there's nothing to be changed about that. And it's probably better for no one else from her world to be here, so it's fine. She'll just have to bear it. ]

It's better for everyone back home though. [ Re.. lat.. ively speaking? At least people don't usually change shapes involuntarily there.

Usually. ]

So maybe that's the difference that brings more people from the place you come from here than from mine.. [ Her expression turns sympathetic. ] I'm really sorry to hear that about your world though. If you want to talk about it, then I never mind listening..
