"Maricana, you're watching the news"

"Surprised? Isn't that rude?

"No, I'm impressed."

I glanced away at Master Calcirust's straight gaze. He had brilliant eyes. I even felt signs of shimmering, like a fresh stream somewhere.

I don't know if he's struggling a lot because he's a prince. It can't be easy. There are skirmishes with neighboring countries. We're all fighting for survival.

But why do we leave our own genes for future generations in the first place? I don't even know if it's really good.

The sun is shining. They're going to burn my eyes. But those who went to other worlds must have experienced more pain than that, and I can't say such sweet little things.
