That's how Nibelheim was, too. Just the Mako reactor and not much else.

[She pauses for a second.]

Um... If there weren't a lot of humans, what kind of people were around?

[rattlingthestars]

The Benbownians. They're, uh, evolved from frogs.

[ He'd talked to Freya enough to realize that this is going to sound weird to her. ]

Couple other species scattered around, too.

[powersouls]

Oh.

[Well that's... a weird way to grow up, she thinks.]

So... Is it strange for you that there are so many humans here?

[rattlingthestars]

So weird.

[ Finally, someone gets it! ]

I was the only human where I was taken from, too. Thought for a while that was the common factor, but then I found out there was at least one person here who isn't.

[powersouls]

[She humans thoughtfully.]

We have mostly humans on Gaia, I guess, but... there are a few intelligent species that aren't.

[It is really weird to talk about people this way for her. It feels strange and clinical.]

[rattlingthestars]

There are a couple planets like that where I'm from, but not many in the empire.

[ He shrugs one-shouldered. It is really weird to think about. ]

People kind of spread out all over.

[powersouls]

So, where did humans come from, then? Do you know?

[rattlingthestars]

A planet called Earth, originally. But that was so long ago it's hard to believe there are people here really from there.
