[Unlike her first video, Usagi is a bit more somber, her gaze is far off.]

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I wasn't sure where else to get this information.

Do we know what happens to the people who leave? Do they go home? Are they... put on trial for the things we're accused of?

[She's not really sure what she would rather for Galaxia. Galaxia didn't HAVE a home to go back to, and there was no means of returning to life because Usagi had failed to save the Cauldron. So, it was just... an end. But to be here instead, would Galaxia have wanted that instead?]

She seemed to be unaware that she had been here at all--as far as she knew, she had come directly from her homeland. But I didn't get a chance to ask as many questions about it as I would have liked.

[Shionne had been rather reluctant to open up, or to let others be friends with her. Ethlyn's sure she could have overcome that with more time, but she didn't have it.]

I suppose it's fine if she doesn't remember being here... I'm just... [What is there to go back to for her? She lets out a breath and then smiles.] Thank you for answering my questions, I really appreciate it.

Of course... I'm happy to help, however I can.

May I ask what brought these questions on?

Oh, a... friend from home isn't here anymore, so I just wanted to make sure she'd be okay. I was just worried, ya know?

Oh... I'm so sorry to hear that. [That must be hard, to have someone you knew and trusted in a strange world, only for them to be taken away without so much as a by-your-leave.

Especially if something bad did happen to her back where they're both from. Ethlyn tries a moment to think of words of comfort for that. She doesn't have any. No more than she does for herself.] And so now you're on your own here? That isn't easy.

Thank you for being so considerate. [She seems like a really nice girl.] I... yeah. Honestly, I've never lived alone before, kinda hoping I don't burn the house down more than anything else.

Oh no--do you need help learning how to use the electric stove? I know it took me some time to get used to it.

[Maybe, like Ethlyn, she didn't have any familiarity with such appliances at first?]

Huh? OH! Uh, no no, born and raised around electronic devices... More... I can only make like four or five things? Steamed rice, ramen, and stuff like that, ya know? Not... not REAL food.

Oh! Oh I see. [She's obviously a little embarrassed to have made such a mistake.] To tell the truth, I'm only very good at cooking things over a campfire. I need help for everything else.

That's amazing that you can cook over a campfire! Do you go camping a lot? I've never been camping, can't stand the idea of sleeping in a tent away from a shower or toilet.

I traveled a lot over land. [As part of an army. She's not sure why she leaves that detail out--maybe it's because Usagi seems so young, even though she's a woman grown to Ethlyn's medieval eyes.] I'm from a place where running water is reserved for the very rich, so I'm used to living by without it anyway.

Oh wow! No way! I can't live without running water! Bathing is a whole experience in my country! Plus my hair is one of my pride and joys!

It's an experience for us, too! There's nothing like a soak after a day of hard riding. But it's certainly much easier to just be able to turn a knob on your own and then pull the plug without anyone else's help. [instead of having to get servants to heat the water and lug it around and then lug it away....] I can tell you do put a lot of work into your hair, and it's quite lovely.

That's why no camping for me. But thank you! You've got really pretty hair, too. I love pink hair.
