I want to know more about the worlds that everyone left behind.

Like what countries there are, what they look like, what's different from here. It's such a waste of opportunity not to learn about other worlds, you know? As long as I'm going to be stuck here, I'd like to stretch my imagination and learn something new.

I, for one, just came from Japan. Yokohama City, to be exact. I wouldn't be surprised if more of you are from Yokohama... Oh~ But imagine if we're all from alternate Yokohama Cities. That would be interesting as well.

Anyway~. Tell me about your homes, please. And where are my manners? My name is Lucy Montgomery. A pleasure.

21st Century? Or, uh.

Reiwa period? Guess that means nothing if you're from the past, huh?

But yeah! Tokyo! Yokohama is to the East.

[lumberlady]

i no know REIWA also... but you no know GENNA, i am guessing? is sixth year of.

but if is 2000 type year... other future JAPAN people tell i is meaning that is more than 300 year past i.

congratulations! you live in big future!

[depthsofdespair]

Listen, I'll level with you here.

I'm technically not Japanese and don't know a lot of history? So I can't tell you for sure.

But that's really amazing that you're from the past! Are you getting along here okay?

You must be really adaptable.

[lumberlady]

you no JAPANESE? just coming from JAPAN? name is not sounding JAPANESE but i think “oh is big future so maybe name is changing???”

i ‘s name is KONOHA!

possible i not so adaptable, just is here for long time. over one year now. have time to take class to learn letters, and still no understand how is working but can use some TECHNOLOGY!

[depthsofdespair]

Yeah, I'm from Canada. In the West. You sound pretty adaptable to me. Not everyone can even go to school, you know? That's a step itself.

And wow, a whole year? Is that hard? Do you ever miss being home?

[lumberlady]

exclaim! i is knowing man from CANADA so i know this country name!

yes i know well. JINBA does not go to school in i ‘s village but here life is easy so has time and people will teach. will take home knowledge!

natural, i is missing home and wishing to return. but i ‘s luck is poor and so i remain longer than many. but luck is also wonderful because husband arrive here so i is not so lonely. but still wish to go home!

[depthsofdespair]

Your husband came? That's so romantic!

This place must be easier to survive in when you have someone you love, huh?

Some of my friends from home are here too.

[lumberlady]

yes! month after i come he also come! is so much fortune...

and yes also is more easy to accept LUNATIA moon strange things when husband is here..............

friend is good!! of course not wishing for anyone to arrive here but is nice to be not alone!

[depthsofdespair]

Is it really so bad for our friends to come here?

Time apparently doesn't pass back home and it's not as stressful for some people, right? And all of my friends are getting into relationships and becoming happier.

Of course. I don't have any other friends. But if I did, I'd want them to come here.

[lumberlady]

oh apology! i mean... not wishing for anyone happy at home to arrive here. i know some people is coming here dead or from sad place... if want to come is fine to wish.

but... i have doubt about what is said about time. and about going home.

i was taken from other place before this that was not home. she also say we will go home, but i come to LUNATIA. so how we know people is always going home when disappearing?

is worry.

[depthsofdespair]

Because that's how it has to be, right?

Otherwise, the world is moving on without us.

The friends I have here are from the past. If they all disappeared, then I wouldn't have them in the future, right?

Or they would be from another world, with another Lucy, who is all alone now.

[Which is impossible, in Lucy's romantic mind. Atsushi and her can't be separated for good.]

[lumberlady]

some people tell me this also

say "PARALLEL UNIVERSE", like could be many of all selves living different almost same life...

but i no understand what is right. i believe witch before who says she will send i home, but it is lie. so... now must worry.

but

life here is most safe when not having accident. daily life. so that is good thing...

[depthsofdespair]

[That's a lot to process. It takes Lucy a minute or so longer than usual to reply. If it's true that parallel universes exist, then it's possible that her world no longer has a Lucy. Her friends don't have her help anymore. She may have abandoned them.

That sucks to consider.]

Yeah. Life here is peaceful, at least.

And I'm able to have actual money and a nice apartment. You? Does it feel like an improvement for you too?

omg sorry I lost this... feel free to ignore if its too late

[lumberlady]

in that way it is improvement for i also...

i do not feel like i want more in i 's home, can survive, but before LUNATIA i never have such nice thing or food or home.
