"Ladies and gentlemen: I'm Captain JP Terrigida and welcome to Federal Airlines Flight 1179. The end of the flight is the Capital International Airport of the Orb Special Administrative Region. In about five minutes, the plane will take off. The first and final stop is also in the Orb Special Administrative Region, where the weather is nice, sunny to cloudy, with temperatures of 23 degrees Celsius. It takes two hours and fifteen minutes of flight to get there. Please note that this flight is non-smoking, so please wear seat belts when seated. Thank you. ”

The short introduction is over.

The cabin crew then demonstrated how to put on a life jacket tucked under the seat and how to inflate the life jacket. Arlando watched with no interest, and at this moment Arlando couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw the hatch closed. Fortunately, the only way to escape was blocked--- after coming to Earth, he found that he began to be afraid of flying, the blue and picturesque scenery from above, the light, the wind, all of which expressed his appearance, reminded him of the time when he drove the Mobile Suit and Harman down to Earth. He began to understand Amroli's feelings, which were a little better when he was sitting in a steel weapon, but now that he didn't have the weapon to allow him to concentrate, he only felt uncomfortable.

The uncomfortable dryness was not as intense as the thrilling sensation when the engine began to roar, but it was long and uncomfortable, and at the thought of this, he closed his eyes again, forcing himself to breathe as steady and relaxed as he could. At this time, the plane made a big turn at the end of the runway, stopped, and started with a shudder.

"Ready to take off." Commands are sent from the in-flight communication device. Arlando sat in the first row of seat B, as if waiting to get into the electric chair. After a few tosses, he opened his eyes and looked out the window.

The sound of the engine began to grow, and the steel machine began to roar. Seconds later, the engine roared more violently, and Arlando felt a pressure familiar to MS drivers push against the composite seat, and he felt an invisible hand pull him back, while another pushed him on his arm, trying to lift him aside. After the angle of climbing higher has eased a little. The waiters are already working on a drink cart. Arlando asked for a beer, and he didn't have anything to raise a glass toast to, but he thought that the bubbly wine might make him happy.

But the frothy alcohol soon proved ineffective, so he pulled out a computer from his coat pocket and began to look at the books stored in Dylan Thomas. But he soon remembered the last time he had taken Haman down with him, and remembered that Harman thought reading a book was a good way to pass the time, so he put down the book again and tilted to the right, and squeezed his head tightly into the space between the seat and the bulkhead.

But just then, a brief impulse indicated that the plane's second solar engine was running, and he felt a new acceleration, and the plane began to climb higher again. Annoyed by the acceleration, Arlando looked out the window—they were flying over the sea. He looked down, and it was the kind of view that would bring back memories for him.

However, it takes a little more than two hours to get to Orb Capital International Airport. You can stay up for three hours, huh? --- he asked himself

Just as he was thinking this, he noticed the timer on the display, and the number on it was slowly decreasing at a normal speed that made him helpless, so he twisted his head out of the window angrily:

Snow-white clouds floated a few kilometers below the fuselage, sliding backwards at a perceptible speed. Brilliant daylight shimmered on the crests of the clouds, and the waves shone like blue ravines. Looking down from above, the world is like this ...

As soon as the thought came to this, Arlando, who realized that the sweet memories with his lover had hit him again, finally turned his head unannoyed and reluctantly twisted his head towards what seemed to be the only direction he could see after considering the consequences of the memories--- sitting next to him, the slender body with a 1.8 meter slender body, but at this time without the slightest military capable aura, the disguise master of the Federal Special Spy Force. Sheffield's body.

Looking at the Federation's master of disguise, Arlando only felt in a trance, this woman codenamed [Water] looked like a mist, and could be shaped at will, full of unpredictable feelings. But the induction waves don't deceive, and sensing Norma's kindness and her calm-as-water-focused mind, Arlando sighed in satisfaction and didn't look away again.

"It's okay if you want to say something," Norma. Sheffield pulled the ends of his hair with his hand and chuckled at Arlando, "Although we have to follow the rules when Orb starts to travel to the universe, this airliner is all our own people, so it doesn't matter if you say something, the Federation is not so incompetent." ”

"You know what I'm thinking?" Arlando felt a little ticked in his heart.

"You don't need to be a telepathic to read you," Norma flicked her head with her index finger, "Everyone has a hell, and everyone is different, but when they see their own hell, they all behave badly--- that feeling of denying everything." ”

"And what do you have to be?"

"My hell? The first time you and I talked, you asked me this? Norma seemed a little dumbfounded and helpless.

"You've seen me."

"So I'm going to let you see mine? Well, fair enough. Norma turned her head sideways, looked at Arlando with a playful smile for a moment, and then slowly raised her two hands, gently touching the two index fingers together, and then drawing a gentle arc to each side.

"Door?" Arlando asked suspiciously, looking at the void drawn in the air.

"No, mirrors, or whatever allows me to see myself, or to put it bluntly, myself."

Feeling the bland truth and sincerity coming from the induction wave, Arlando couldn't help frowning, he thought that the other party would refuse--- it was very commonsense; He also thought that the other party would make up stories to deceive him--- which was also very reasonable; But he really didn't expect that the other party seemed to tell the truth as soon as he came up.

"Yourself?" Curiosity or something drove him to ask.

"Yes, unlike you, at least you have some scenery to recall, I only have memories of the past, and everything else is ruined, so to see myself is to see all the remnants of the past," Norma smiled lightly, "When I look at anything that can reflect my appearance, I will feel that those friends, relatives, and comrades-in-arms who followed me in the mirror are standing on the other side of the world, and can only see, but even if I and myself in the mirror raise our hands, they will never touch." ”

"You..."

"But I've learned self-control, and you, too, have to learn, though that might take some time," Norma continued, gesturing to the time it would take to get to the destination, "and the smartest and most ignorant thing about man is the importance of letting one thing overpower another, to Haman. Karn's thoughts suppressed the absurdity of your last time in Orb and the Federation, but now you are an ally, and found another one to suppress Harman. Karn's thoughts on the events of the Will. ”

“。。。 It's not that easy ... ”

"Yes, it's difficult, and it's not a bad thing, if you miss her so much, then do what you don't insult her, and then don't think too much, if everyone was as sentimental as a poet, humanity would have perished a long time ago, after all, sometimes people can survive until now, not only because they are smart, but also because they are stupid." With that, Norma stopped talking to Arrando, and the two remained silent until they reached Orb.

After Allando got Norma's "everything is going according to plan", he walked to the immigration department, and then asked him with a smile on his face whether he came to Orb for tourism or if he had business The customs officer was going to scan him with a smile on his face. . .

Arlando was taken to the inquiry room as planned, and then left the airport with Norma and entered Orb territory.

"Go pick up the Resistance's connector, and we'll leave tomorrow, don't worry, we're here the whole time."

Finally, he instructed Norma of [Water]. Sheffield disappeared from the crowd, and Arlando paused for a moment before hailing a taxi to the junction. As the vehicle sped along the coast, Arlando sighed as he watched wordlessly as the massive MS wreckage still stuck in the mud of the beach like a tombstone from the past. As if sensing Arlando's sigh, the driver sitting in front peeked at Arlando a few times, and smiled awkwardly after noticing Arlando's gaze.

"Now, how bad is this?" The embarrassing situation that should have fallen into silence was broken by Arrando's words, and he looked at the driver's somewhat surprised expression in the reflector, and nodded softly.

Soothed by a gentle consciousness, the taxi driver's face first softened, and then became angry:

"People who dare to express their support for the ideas of old Aub have been emigrated, a group of extremists have moved in, and the country is rotting...

"That's right..." With Arlando's long sigh, the taxi arrived at its destination, and after paying the money, he said goodbye to the taxi driver, who seemed to be still immersed in some kind of emotion, and walked down the path to the house where he was going to his destination in the night.

[Suppression... Own... Allando's thoughts flew as she walked, [The fear of not being able to fulfill her instructions was not enough to suppress the thoughts of her... 】

Just as he was thinking like this, a burst of singing unconsciously pried open the thinking of the new human, and in Arlando's shock, a quiet singing voice came to his ears:

YOU PROBABLY ... Probably just

I pretend to be tough

You always bring a little smile to yourself

But if, if you want to cry

That's okay too

Don't weep patiently

YOU PROBABLY ... Probably just too gentle

That's why I put everything on my shoulders

But if, if you get tired of walking

That's okay too

Let's put something down on your shoulder

It's okay, it's okay

It really doesn't matter

It was late at night

What kind of wish are you making to the starless night sky?

The night was already deep

What is reflected in your eyes that are deeper than the starry sky?

Don't just look at the dark night sky

Look around you

Remembering those memories

Perhaps, in that there will be ...

Desires that even God does not know

Just trying to be closer to you

I don't know what I'm trying to survive for

But I did want to do something

What do you crave for in the dark night sky?

What the hell are those open arms longing for?

Don't just look at the dark night sky

Look around you

God, please make him aware of the existence there

It was late at night

The night was already deep

Even on a starless night

I will also light the lights for you

Even on cold nights when I lost my voice

I will sing for you too

Even at night when dreams become cold

I will be by your side too

Please think about it, think about it

There are even times when everything is shaking

When everything is dull, there is also a presence that must flicker

That's love

[It turns out that I have been ... It's not that I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill her instructions ... That kind of fear doesn't exist in the first place.,The reason why I can't suppress my thoughts about her.,It's so simple.。。。 】

On Arlando's cheeks, the crystal tears that could not have been left behind slipped down like meteors flashing in the sky
