After that, she let the clone get up and followed her to the entrance. But as they went outside, the clone dropped to her knees as she looked upon the valley. her hands shivered as she felt the blades of grass around her. The sights, the smells, the sensation of being able to feel something other than cold glass or metal.

"It.... I... I......" She began to mutter under her breath, head suddenly darting up to see a flock of birds flying, her hands rubbing through her hair as she was overwhelmed with all these new sights and the beauty of nature.

Tyrian began to ponder alongside her friend, now leaning up as she was trrying to figure out the mystery of the talking tree.
