[ Quieter, yes, but there is yet life. That is part of the hope that keeps all this going despite the death and decay that's suddenly wrecked the land. Himeka won't pretend that it's easy to watch--though she didn't choose to end up in this world, Solvunn has become her home here. The people, the land, all the creatures in it--they don't deserve this.
She takes Wanda's extended hand as she listens to her friend talk, allowing herself to be assisted up onto the rock without much trouble. She's right--they really don't know which way the water flows when it comes to the Summoned and the Singularity. All they do know is their connection to it is special, coveted. It's why they're here at all.
But when the Horizon itself is affected...it feels strangely more personal. That special place they can retreat to and make their own. Mayhaps it's not as safe as they thought.
Himeka tilts her head at the explanation. Her own world is a strange mix of magic and technology, though she finds the later far more foreign. Seeing words of Allag and Garlemald are impressive, but it's only when Wanda reminds her what a TV is that she makes the connection. She nods in understanding. She's seen big fancy screens like that before--more Allagan technology.

Then she frowns, giving Wanda's hand a squeeze. ]
