*Youu jumped a bit as she felt his touch land, but shook off her surprise with a short exhale*
Youu: I doubt that, Sensei, *the teenager looked back out at the pink and purple clouds they were drifting past* my Ojīsan, my grandfather, says that it takes me too long to feel the right emotion. He says “Youu-Chan, your emotions are like clot of dry dirt, and your mind is like slow river; it takes many washes to change dry dirt into mud” *Youu then looked up at Grace, eyes far off and smile slightly distant* It’s probably just going to take me a while for any kind of fear or anger to hit me. Sensei? Do you know why I’m here?
*Youu gasped in awe and pressed her face against the window, standing on her tiptoes to get a better view*
Youu: Uwah~ Sugoi! It’s way more sparkly here than the ones I analyzed pictures of at school! *The girl turned around to smile at Grace, rocking on her heels in excitement* like a stardust bomb, hehe!
*Youu giggled when she saw the mug, eyes sparkling like the stars outside with amusement*
Youu: I like your mug *at ‘space mission’, the young girl looked out the window in awe* wow . . . We’re really here? In space?
