Are they? Huh.

[mizu knows diddly squat about snake anatomy.]

Can't say I've ever heard of a sandworm.

[trifocal]

Oh, they are giant worms that burrow in the ground and surface suddenly in order to swallow their prey in one bite! Many are even large enough to prey on people in this way.

[purities]

And they're common in your world?

[trifocal]

Oh, yes. Not on my island, thankfully, but in many places. Deserts are especially dangerous because of this.

[purities]

... Sounds like a dangerous place to live.

[yikes]

[trifocal]

Well, yes... though I believe that is true of most places, these days.

Are there monsters where you come from?

[purities]

No. Only men who behave in monstrous ways.

[trifocal]

Ah...

I believe we have that, too. Unfortunately.

[purities]

[a sigh.]

Unfortunately, they seem to be just about everywhere.

[trifocal]

[ a small, sad smile. ]

I do still believe that most people are good, however. Or they want to be.

[purities]

And I want fifty thousand ryo, but that doesn't make me a rich man.

I wouldn't say most people are good. And they're not bad, either. They're just painfully average.

[trifocal]

Oh... I'm not sure I would put it that way...

[ harsh... ]

[purities]

It's realistic.

[it's mean...]
