[ Chihiro: accidentally good for (honest) ego boosts since Cerealia!
As it is, she has no particular death wish, no matter how impermanent or non-real death is both in and outside of ViViD. She had the dubious pleasure of sitting through the presentation on what being here meant twice, so the reality is any of them "caught" by CERES and given physical form both were already dead and also not (can code die? do backups ever live?) leaves her with a headache even when malfunctioning equipment isn't doing the same.
She's resolute, however. Working with Izumi means she's also resolute that he'll get out, too. That's what friends do. (Welcome to the vetting process of friendship involving no vetting process whatsoever or at all.) ]
Mm! I'll be fine.
[ She tightens her grip on him and holds on, feeling as prepared as she can be when he takes off. She has nothing to say about the sky being an annoying exit, if it's true. It'd be too like the nonsense of having to leave people suffering and crying and begging to be set free. Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't.
She squints so she can look around while he's sprinting and leaping like some spring-loaded gazelle. She's reminded of Haku more than Kashuu, despite Kashuu being the one to give her a piggyback ride in ViViD before. The temporary nature of the arc of each leap has that touch of almost-flight that reminds her of clinging to the head and neck of a dragon-friend as they flew over an inland sea at night.
The spirit world had made a lot more sense than this place, and the spirit world was nonsense where normal logic was concerned. She turns her attention outward, missing a whole slew of things that can't be addressed from back home, trying not to miss what there might be to see here.

No; she's not sure, but they do look more residential in nature. To the far right, on the other hand, a series of half-constructed skeletons jut out of the ground at awkward angles, some frameworks of buildings emerging from halfway through another set. It's a half-built graveyard tumbled around and glued back together with no regard for which pieces fit where, and it leaves her stomach feeling unsettled.
They were the two oddest looking places in view. It might be either of those... or neither. She levers herself up to take temporary advantage of Izumi's height (compared to her own), but further scanning of the area once he's got them firmly on the roof he'd been aiming for doesn't show her any conveniently labeled "Exit." ]
If it's in a place that stands out, I can see two that are different from most this place. What are you seeing?
[ She's not sure if what she's picking up on makes sense, or is even all that actually unusual in comparison to the rest of the decaying, shifting landscape. ]
This can't be very energy efficient...
[ This ViViD session. She's not sure what emotional energy, or bonds, or spiritual energy is even being harvested when things are this uncoordinated. Plus that contract with DC was blacked out. What was CERES going to do with their energy now? ]
