Sophia had never been submerged in water before. It was not a common thing in the Metaverse. She wanted to know what it was like, but as far as she could tell humans dressed properly for such things. Which her parka did not qualify for. She struggled a bit until she was pulled up to the surface on the back of a... thing. Giant pillow?

It was not a shadow, but it also did not seem to want to be friends. She looked around at her new surroundings briefly. Also making sure she had all of her hair, a sequence of floating hearts that did not seem to have been moved by her dip in the water. Then she struggled to hop her way to shore. Between her legs feeling different and her parka doubling in weight because this is not proper swimwear. Once on the shore, and after a little time poking at herself trying to ascertain why she wasn't as fast or as skilled as in the metaverse, she spots another person.

"Hello, I am Sophia. Humanity's Companion. I do not know where I am, do you know where I am?" Polite and direct, smiling very happily about all this in spite of what she just said. Not really bothered by- any of this even though she has a lot of questions.

Because she always has a lot of questions.

Sophia had spent the ride from the lake drying off, and thinking about the state of herself. She wasn't in the metaverse. But she wasn't human. She was herself, but she also was not what she was. Pandora was not here, the proof of her heart. But she did not feel powerless. She didn't feel like a puppet.

Mostly she was worried about Ichinose. And the others. She hasn't been alone since- ever. Which meant it was good she was sharing a room. "Hello! You can take both beds if you like, I don't sleep."

She wished she could find her friends. They would be able to tell her what to do, so she didn't do it wrong. But she wasn't going to miss the chance to do this either. Just because she was here alone. At least, she did not come here with anyone. They were communal springs after all.

"Hello, what is the proper etiquette and attire for the springs? And do you want to go with me?" She will ask this to basically anyone with zero concern for who they are. She is very excited to get into water again. But this time not in a heavy parka. Pay no attention to her floating hearts hair.

[Sophia hums a little tune at the start of the video. Then it takes her a few seconds to figure out where the camera is to face it properly.]

Are cellular phones always this small from this side?

[Listen this is a very new experience for her!]
