[The school is empty. The school is quiet. The only sound that cuts through the silence is the soft ticking of the hallway clocks that mark the passing of each second.]

[. . .]

[At least. . . until a stiff breeze whips through the classrooms, scattering dirty papers and jerking the curtains aside. The clock strikes 6:00 a.m.]

[The school bell chimes.]

[ She shakes her head quickly, wanting to communicate that it really is that unheard of for her. She's not staring out of disdain, or anything like that... ]

I've never seen a human with a tail.

[ Or pointed ears, for that matter. Maybe he's been experimented on? Or is the result of some DNA manipulation? She's heard about that in passing. If that's the case, she should have sympathy for him. ]

But, it sounds like it's normal to you.

[ A small nod, trying to extend an olive branch. If he doesn't think it's strange... he must know a lot of other humans with tails?! She doesn't want to make him feel like a freak, if so. ]

[ The idea that he's unique here is really twisting up his thoughts something fierce. Never before has he deeply considered being this much of an outsider somewhere, but one more slow scan of the gathered group confirms how few people here have the sort of traits he's used to seeing. ]

On Terra it's fairly common.

[ Not all of the races of Terra have them, but most do.

Which is really starting to sink in the idea that he is not, in fact, on Terra. Or at least most of the people here are not from his world, and that is a very sobering thought indeed. ]

[tiebroken]

Terra?

[ she repeats, clearly not recognizing the name. ]

Is that the name of your planet...?

[candlestick]

[ His... planet...

He opens his mouth.

Then closes his mouth.

Then stares into middle distance for a good several seconds in a way that stretches out uncomfortably long even if it's not technically that long. ]

Yeah... I guess it is.

[tiebroken]

[ ????????????????? ]

You "guess?"

[ does bro not know the name of his own planet??? ]

[candlestick]

It is, I just never thought of it in those terms before.

[ His planet... With others existing that other people come from instead of being Terrans. ]
