( the video feed cuts on and a very pretty man in traditional clothing fills the frame, a serious look in his eyes. )

For one day only, I am benevolently offering my services as a seer, so to speak.

You see, I can glimpse into the future in short bursts and divine what awaits you. The spirits are restless and have compelled me to offer up my services, free of charge, to all who may desire them.

So please, supply your name and your favorite fruit and allow me to read your future.

( this, of course, has all been a lie. but damn does it sound convincing and very prettily and eloquently spoken. )

( strawberries. hmmmmmmm. )

A wise choice. The spirits will be pleased.

( no they won’t. anyway, a pause. )

Your fortune is as follows:
Do what you can to prolong your life, in the hope that someday you'll learn what it's for.

[saigawa]

[He blinks. Prolong his life, what?]

But what if you already know what to live for?

[Unless this is like, a whole new world fate ahead of him.]

[yumenope]

( a whole new world awaits you. it's ripe for the taking. )

Perhaps a change is in order. After all, this world is quite different than most, wouldn't you agree?

[saigawa]

Mm, yeah. It's very different from back home.

[Other than his idol activities and learning about modern changes? Life in the citadel is almost comfortingly familiar and cozy between missions.]

Being here is already a big change to my routine...

[yumenope]

I’d hazard a guess that it’s very different for most people.

( just a casual hunch. he hums for a moment. )

Does that change bother you?

[saigawa]

Hm...

[It is something he occasionally find himself thinking. Ever since his partner left. Yasusada's absence give him that stark, almost empty reminder, as much as he pretend he's fine.]

Only a little! Being here means I can't do my duties. Sooo that give me a lot of free time.

[It's more than a "little".]
