leksa hears the question, but makes no indication of receiving it nor does she show any signs of attempting to answer. hell, she doesn't even look at ekou now. instead, emerald orbs are captivated by the VASTNESS of space beyond the thick glass before them. earth down below, in a form they've never witnessed before. giant, yet still small in a sea of dark and twinkling. they are so tiny and insignificant when compared to the cosmos. all of them are.

here in the space station, there is no wind, no wildlife, or even the comforting sounds of a rushing river. twenty-two years on the ground taken for granted. a feeling of dread slowly sinks in, starting from her shoulders and ending in the pit of her stomach. she might never feel an organic world again.

" i don't know. " are all the words the warrior can form at this time. there has been much to process in the last seventy-two hours. her home is destroyed, her people SCATTERED, her beloved....dead just like the last inconclusive. displaced and surrounded by enemies would have been a challenge a her younger self would have jumped at the chance to conquer. now, she only feels sorrow and emptiness.
