I wish. But truthfully, this is the most traveling I've ever done.

[ there was a kind of travel in leaving the city way back when, if only temporarily. but it wasn't the same. they hadn't lingered in those dangerous, barren lands. they hadn't even asked the kids they found there what life was like. where they might have come from, what they did before... hadn't tried to get to know them all that well. they'd simply been her charges.

... no, the outskirts had just been like anything else. a means to an end. no thought to it outside of what benefit they had from working off the Head's grid. ]

The world I live in... is a very, very dangerous place. The only "civilization" exists in a single place, called the City, though there are people who survive outside the walls in the Outskirts. They're those who were exiled for some reason or another and their descendants, basically. The kind of travel you'd do is simply between the Districts, which can be as varied as the countries here in culture and custom, but I never did much of that either. It's hard to leave the District you're born in unless you work yourself to the bone and pay the steep price they ask for migration, or are naturally talented enough to ask a Wing -- a corporation -- to move you over and they accept you.

[ it's bleak. but she doesn't speak regretfully about it, she doesn't speak fondly, it's just... what it is. ]

Most Districts are big enough that you'd see a sight you hadn't before just by going to a different region of it, though. Wild, right?

[ The kind of place that she describes as her home world... sounds so entirely alien to Fern. It sounds... awful, if she's being honest, the kind of place she can only imagine being a reality in her own world if literal demons were to take over, and even then, it would be more likely for humanity to be eradicated entirely.

Her world really is so peaceful... and even though it's certainly not free of danger or evil, it's... thanks to Mistress Frieren and the Party of Heroes that Fern wasn't born into a world ruled by the Demon King. ]

...Yes, that is wild. I cannot even imagine living in such a civilization.

[ ... ]

But I hope, even though were's not exactly free to travel however we'd wish, here, that you can still see more places here, miss.

[ ... such a kind wish from a kind young lady. malkuth holds it close to her heart, smiling warmly at her. ]

One nice thing about it is that a lot of things I've done now are my first experiences with it, so it's like I'm learning or seeing something new every day. It's a lot of fun, so I'm thankful that my life has so much in store for me here.

[ it's a bit of a bright side to it all, because she's always been someone who's seen the good in a situation over the bad -- until she spirals, but that's for a different day. ]
