[It's dark outside -- pitch black, with only the softest sound of footsteps squelching in the mud. There's the briefest flash of white as Hino Rei drops her PCD onto the ground, where it bounces lightly. The girl is sopping wet -- aftermath from the abrupt draining of the water from Adstringendum -- but her eyes are bright and she appears happy as can be.
-- and then, fire engulfs her.
It's a column of flame, and it lasts for at least twenty seconds, before it falls away to reveal Mars, in her glory, perfectly dry and unharmed. She looks down at her gloves before grinning to herself, casting a glance down at the PCD, where she notices the red light. Instead of being bothered, Mars picks up the device.]
If this place floods one more time, I'll go to the Animus myself and deliver a complaint.
[But it's hard to take the threat seriously -- Mars looks a lot happier than she has in the past week. With a final smile, the senshi clicks off the feed.
And no, she is not apologizing for waking anyone up.
You people do it to her all the time.]

They were pale. Sightless.
Her stomach twists.]
-- right.
[What in the hell happened to you? 8(]

Please, come in. You'll have to excuse me if I ask you to lead the way.

What happened to your eyes?

A lesson in humility.

...you seem very young.
[No younger than the Elric brothers. Or the Xingese prince and his guardian. Certainly older than the little Xingese alchemist.
Evidently other worlds were just as cruel as his.]
