A person like Akari, who is easily distracted, is sometimes said to be “spacey.” In her case, she really is from another world. The places and people of Aqua are all brand new experiences for her. So it’s to be expected that she would be more fascinated by them than someone who has been in Neo-Venezia all her life.
Here, meanwhile, are two of those people. Despite being born there, the connections Aika and Alice have to the city and its people aren’t as strong as it seems with Akari. Why is that? Because living on the same planet isn’t the same as being in the same world. Aika, the Himeya princess, has never ridden public transportation. And the wallflower Alice has an imagination too large for her scant life experience.
Stuck in their personal worlds, the girls miss opportunities to engage with the people around them. That requires stepping out of their comfort zone. Which is what Akari has done, by about 56 million kilometers.
Next week is Aria the Natural #18:
