[ it-- sure does sound kind of like a date! it's probably a good thing for both of them that john doesn't put that together. or if he does realize, he doesn't seem to think it applies. ]

Sure thing! The dome's up and disappeared, but who knows if it's really gone for good, so...

[ good timing. he's more visibly excited now, too; he's already thinking of all the constellations he can probably point out. but, oh. maybe atsushi would already be familiar. ... he could try to guess at that, he supposes: ]

You said you moved to Recolle, yeah? Did you come from some other big city, or a small town, or--?

[beneathmoonlight]

Oh! I moved to Recolle from Yokohama, Japan. What about you?

[At least they’ll have something to look forward to once it gets dark. Atsushi is familiar with a few constellations, but pointing them out is a bit tougher than simply remembering their names.]

I miss home sometimes, but there’s so many opportunities here, and a lot of nice people, so!

[vitis]

... Oklahoma.

[ ... ]

[ it's just a coincidence. ]

But, ah— Yokohama, huh. [ his expression hadn't shifted, even if there had been a beat of a pause. it'd be too forward to ask if atsushi remembered where his other self was from, and he's not sure if he wants to know right this moment. ] Can't say I've been outta this country, so... What nice things do you miss 'bout it?

[ if he doesn't mind rehashing-- it's a question blurted out without a lot of thought beforehand. ]

[beneathmoonlight]

Oh? I haven’t been there before. I’ve heard there’s tornadoes sometimes...

[Atsushi does notice the pause before John answers. Had he said something wrong? But it's probably nothing...]

It’s a beautiful city in most seasons. There’s a giant Ferris wheel that lights up at night, too! And most people I met were polite enough.

[He looks wistful as he glances up at the sky.]

I grew up in an orphanage until I was adopted at age eleven, but I still found it beautiful.
