Grizzly(0)Grizzly||:I for one haven't a clue how to read it... So it shows where the stars are in the sky? m82(0)M82||:Kind of, but it's more complicated than that... Grizzly(0)Grizzly||:So how are you supposed to use it? +I don't understand it at all... m82(0)M82||:Ugh... I can't really explain it too well... M590(0)M590||:I'm not one to comment on other people's hobbies. +But I'm very curious about something, M82. +What's so special about the stars that compels you to speak up, that makes Miss Alfa so passionate? m82(0)M82||:Well... AKAlfa(0)AK-Alfa||:Life is finite, just as all material things will eventually decay. +This is true for both Dolls and humans. +But even though billions of years have passed, the stars are still here. Grizzly(0)Grizzly||:Huh?! Are you done already? That was quick! AKAlfa(0)AK-Alfa||:It's not actually that complicated if you know what you're doing. +You should be able to see through it now. M590(0)M590||:I can kind of understand what you say, Miss Alfa. +But don't you think space is too empty? +I don't mean to offend, but comparing individuals with the vast expanse of the universe is a very depressing thing to do. AKAlfa(0)AK-Alfa||:This is why I believe the stars command fear and respect. +If we only see and care about things in our immediate surroundings, we will gradually lose our respect for all creations, which is very dangerous – for both humans and Dolls alike. +Human history has proved this countless times. +It is when times like this that we have to remember just how small our existence really is in this world. +Only when we always give the universe the respect it deserves that we can ponder our own selves rationally. m82(0)M82||:Not only that... Consider the star chart that you got, Cap. +We are actually looking at the stars as they appeared years and years ago. +These massive galaxies are dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of light years away from us. +Their light takes millennia to reach our optic system. +And we will have to wait millennia to see what the stars look like now. +If people had not recorded them on a star chart, we would never know what the night sky was like in the past. AKAlfa(0)AK-Alfa||:I have one eye on the past and the other on the future. m82(0)M82||:While I have both on the present. AKAlfa(0)AK-Alfa||:You get it, M82. m82(0)M82||:No... My understanding is nowhere near as profound as yours, Miss Alfa. Grizzly(0)Grizzly||:It feels as if you've established some kind of weird connection! +But I still haven't a clue what you're talking about! M590(0)M590||:That's okay, Miss Grizzly, I don't entirely get it either. +But they're chatting away so happily, so you've achieved what you wanted, right? +Don't forget your original intentions. Grizzly(0)Grizzly||:...You're absolutely right. Still, now I'm also intrigued. +Guess I'll study up on the subject when I get back. M590(0)M590||:Really? +Somehow I have a feeling that you'll find it a challenge. Grizzly(0)Grizzly||:C'mon, have a little faith in me. M590(0)M590||:I'm not looking down on you. +I'm just saying it's hard for laymen to understand the joy of studying astronomy. +At least, I personally don't find staring at stars that interesting. +It's kind of romantic if we do it every now and then. +But if you genuinely want to study it in depth, it's hard to keep at it unless you're deeply passionate about it. Grizzly(0)Grizzly||:I see... That's why she was so offended by what PzB said. M590(0)M590||:Speaking of PzB... ()||:While AK-Alfa and M82 are gazing at the stars with great enthusiasm... +PzB is tinkering with her motorbike all by herself. She seems to be rather perturbed by AK-Alfa's words. Grizzly(0)Grizzly||:...She's still sulking. M590(0)M590||:Is it really a good idea to leave her to her own devices? Grizzly(0)Grizzly||:It's not like I'm isolating her on purpose! +I especially invited her along! +I haven't driven a motorbike for a long time, and you should know how hard it is to keep up with PzB's speed! M590(0)M590||:That's not what I meant. +However, while you're busy taking care of your new member, you mustn't neglect your old teammates either. +This is part of a team leader's responsibility. Grizzly(0)Grizzly||:(Sighs) Grizzly(0)Grizzly||<黑屏1>:You're right.
