[ He dips his chin down in agreement that she wouldn't be able to live in another world without being capable. It is only his first few days in Lunatia and he acknowledges how lost he feels -- if only to himself. Yet the young miss has been in the world for over a year, she holds her hand out to others and continues to be able to smile.
Instead, he warmly says: ]

[ Amazing. Masaoka wonders if it's right to be amazed by the sights. Well, strictly speaking, this is still an alien planet. It'd be weird not to be a little amazed. In fact, I should be more amazed. Yet once again, the thing that amazes him is the fact no one gives him much more than a second glance -- and those few that do will give a friendly smile.
