Uh, I can still hear sister, even from here.
Or at least I can sense how she's totally overreacting again.
I don't really know how that works, but she's totally panicking.
Seriously, she became such a worrywart.
How can she have an army and be so insecure?

 

(M)

 

Oh no.
Ever since I drank this strange liquid, Miwa could always tell what I'm thinking.
It's almost scary.

She was already very good at predicting what I'm intending to do before, but now I have no chance.
If I had known this before drinking it I might have had second thoughts.
They really are a bit too much if it's about my sister.

But it was not as bad as my sister apparently thinks.
Mum told me this drink was something similar to what took her voice, but not as strong.
While this sounds quite bad I wanted to talk like mum.
I hope if more do this it helps her not to feel like she's standing out.
Also, I don't think it was such a big deal.
Only my throat burned for a while and occasionally it still prickles there.
No biggie.

But I'm also slightly worried.
It's the first time I'm this far away from our new home.
Everyone is nice here but it's still sooo big.
And I don't know if I can do well.
Sister, mum, dad, they all made such a big thing of this, and now I might do poorly.
Still, I can't chicken out here.

Miwa brings me to the place I still remember from last time.
I know there comes a big hall after this tunnel.
And in front of the entrance stands one of the tallies.
I call them like this because they're so much taller than the others while at the same time quite thin.
They seem to be nice if a bit strange.
Still, they're so impressive that I don't know how to talk to them.
Miwa on the other hand just approaches that one.

Miwa looks at me as if she wants something.
Oh, she's asking me.

 

(T)

 

I don't even know why I'm talking like this.
It's kinda weird to think that I'm understood.
And it clicks funnily in my throat whenever I speak in this way.

 

(L)

(T)

(L)

 

Uh, my head hurts.
This was far too complicated for me.
Something about my mouth still changing?
Miwa is extremely stressed now.
It's kinda weird to know about how someone else feels.

 

"Ehm, I feel fine." (T)

(L)

 

Miwa feels now a bit more at ease.

 

(M)

Finally, we can now go in.
It's such an awesome place.
Those halls are so large and totally round.
A bit further in waits another tallie, together with a... Mini?
Huh, that one looks just like the tall ones but is so much smaller.

 

(L)

 

Ah, so he belongs to my sister.

 

(D)

"Uh, well. She's my sister." (T)

(D)

(L)

 

He brings each of us a pod and opens them in front of us.

 

(L)

 

Okay, that's the same as last time. This wasn't so bad back then.
Having those pictures and thoughts in my head that weren't mine was weird, but I don't think it's a big problem.
I notice the scent and have again the same sensation.

I see the big strand in the middle of this super cave and where it's located.
But it's not completely the same, but there are slight differences.
I know, since I just saw it on the way here.
Then I somehow draw closer and it's as if I'm observing the different parts of it from the outside I know and in my mind can see how there are nurses caring for eggs.

Then I switch to a place where they care for little worms.
One by one I can see every single place within the big strand and learn how they work there.
It's a bit much at once as I see all those places and somehow what I see sticks.
I don't directly forget it, even if it's so much.

Suddenly I wake up again.
I notice, that the pod in front of me got closed.

 

(L)

 

I think about what I just saw, or... felt?
I don't really know what would be right to describe it.
Anyway, it was so much.
And cool.

I was never before in the nursery and now I know about all the places there.
I saw how they are working in this place and everything else that's important about it.
And well, that it's called the nursery.

 

"I would really want to see it myself." (T)

(D)

"It's just not the same! Being there would be much cooler." (T)
