[ Have a confused ninja on your screens, fellow farmers! Because one second, she's, well--dead. And the next, she's bouncing along on a bus headed to Martel-knows-where.

Okay, a farm. And that very farm can be seen behind Sheena, and from the size and buildings, one can see it's a Standard Farm.

Nothing too big for our ninja. ]

Well, at least this thing doesn't make me choose an alias. [ There's a hint of wry relief in that statement. As she speaks and moves the camera around, it would become apparent that her clothes don't fit her too well--they're pretty loose. And somewhat tattered.

Especially the trailing ends of what appears to be a huge pink bow sneaking out from under her dark purple jacket--which is still closed up despite the heat. ]

Hello, everyone! My name is Sheena Fujibayashi, and I just arrived here! What was that thing, anyway? There wasn't anything like that where I was last, though it kinda looked like an EC. [ Yep, has no idea what a bus is, but can handle the jPad like a pro. ] I'm not too sure about what exactly is going on, but I guess I have a farm now?

[ And she'll just point over her shoulder. ]

I've never run a farm--though I did help with the herb patches back in Mizuho! So, I can definitely grow plants. [ She's kind of wistful about that--like she hasn't seen a plant for a long time. ] I'm not sure where to start, though. Any advice?

[ She starts thanking everyone but stops. ]

Oh. One more thing. I guess we can leave any time? But do you know if we go back home or to the very last place we were?

Thanks!

[ And the feed ends. ]

[There's a saying about trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results.]

No! No, no, of course not... Heavens, having him around is one of the nicest things about being here. I only brought it up because... honestly, he may be the only version of Mithos I ever have a chance to actually interact with again, given how everything turned out.

[ Then try different approaches. ]

Then cherish this, Martel. You have a chance that a lot of people would give anything for! [ Sheena herself would love to meet her parents. ] And from my experience, it's very possible that there are others that didn't follow the path that we know of.

That's true... who knows what other worlds are out there.

[Maybe one where they actually reacted to her death in something vaguely resembling a healthy way. Or where she didn't die at all!]

Of course, that goes both ways.

Exactly.

[ Those are certainly possibilities. As are the darker chances. ]

I know. But the risk would be worth it, though, wouldn't it?

Well, I suppose it's not up to us either way. We'll just have to see what comes.

At least it's a very peaceful world they'd be coming to regardless.

This is true--for both.

[ Have an impish ninja on your screen. ]

Though, I wonder how some of them will fare as farmers?

[Okay, she really can't help but laugh at that idea.]

Are you talking about my group, or yours?

[ Sheena laughs with her before answering. ]

Both. Though, I expect some would do better than others.

[ While one would probably whine and get whapped upside the head as usual by her. ]

Well, to be honest, I think that in many ways, this is sort of the ideal end goal for someone like Kratos. No more fighting, wandering... so long as he was with his family, this would be wonderful for him.

[So, you know... still not all the way there.]

By comparison, my dear Yuan... [She can't help but giggle.] Well, let's just say he'd be relying on me a touch more than usual.

[ Sheena nods in agreement. Kratos may be the ultimate wanderer the last time she had seen him, but he had seemed content knowing Lloyd would be all right. ]

Yuan? [ If Sheena had had a drink, there'd be a spit-take happening right now. ] Yeah, I can't see him doing that, either. [ Imagine her future surprise when Yuan will be guarding a certain tree. ]

Did you grow a lot of plants before coming here?

Not as much as I would have liked. We were traveling far too much for a garden to be practical. Now, as a child... well, that was a long time ago.

[And she'd had to leave it all behind when she and Mithos got kicked out, which still kind of stings.]

And yet all the lessons are still there.

Yeah, I know about traveling, but it helped to know what herbs you could gather safely.

[ Sheena's tone softens. ]

I'm going to start an herb garden, would you like to start one, too?

Hmmmm, that's a fun idea. I was focusing so much on my orchard I hadn't really thought about the smaller options.

Don't worry, things like that happen! I may try to make gels or something with mine. Though I know I'll be using them to add to my cooking, too.

Would you like a few seeds or cuttings?

If you have some spares! Mister Pierre's prices are... significant.

"Significant". That's another way to say "really high" isn't it?

[ Yeah, even for seeds. ]

Sure! I have some I can give you. Plants reproduce by themselves all the time.

[ Which is key in this place when buying things. ]

An attempt at being polite about it, yes.

[She tries.]

True enough! If you have some to spare I will happily accept them. Perhaps an apple or two in trade?
