Kallen, Shirley and Nunnally: Fly away crane

(Your POV)

"Today's weather is good, isn't it?- Kallen

"Come to think of it, it's always been sunny every time I talk a walk with you. Could it be that you're a so-called "clear-weather" woman?"- (y/n)

"Really? Maybe you're the "clear-weather" guy, then?"- Kallen

"Or maybe we're just two "rain" people who cancel each other out."- (y/n)

"Oh my. In that case, should we should try to go out together as much as possible for everyone else's sake."- Kallen

Compared to all our rendezvous up until now, Kallen was showing me far more expression, and I had also grown accustomed to the settlement. The former capital of Japan, Tokyo, was divided between the settlement where the ruling Britannians lived, and the ghettos where the ruled Elevens.

"There's a place I'd like to go."- (y/n)

"That's fine. Things like going where you want might help you remember something."- Kallen

The two of us started to walk off to the Ghetto Park.

"Here?"- Kallen

"I wanted to see it from here."- (y/n)

From this location at the edge of the settlement, I had an unbroken view of this devastated region, clearly different from the showy and well-maintained streets of the settlement. From this location at the edge of the settlement, I had an unbroken view of this devastated region, clearly different from the showy and well-maintained streets of the settlement. The only thing left in this area were the wreckage left behind in the history of civilization, but people were still living here even so.

"The ghetto, huh..."- Kallen

"What's with this scene?"- (y/n)

"Eh?"- Kallen

"Why is it so different...? Because Britannia defeated Japan and took away its name, making it the Britannian territory of "Area 11". It's stupid!"- (y/n)

Light and shadow. What is with this, leaving the ghetto in such a neglected state, carrying on scars from the war even now, while the settlement has, by contrast, shown such immense development!?

"This is what it means to be ruled over. Britannia took control of Japan by force, renamed it Area 11, didn't permit any autonomy, and didn't even give it a chance to recover from its war damage. And then, the only place to live they built up afterwards was a castle for the rulers, for themselves. That's this settlement! They have abundant energy from their solar panels. They have clean water and sewage, and goods they brought overseas from all over the world. Because everything is for the Britannians...Everything is used only for the Britannians who rule over Japan!"- Kallen

I couldn't imagine such violent anger coming from the usually subdued Kallen. Why was she, a Britannia herself, getting so angry, I wonder? However, my problem lied with what she said about the differences between the settlement and the ghettos. Because it was different from image of Japan that remained faintly in my memories.

"...It's because of the Sakuradite. You know...Mt Fuji, right? Perhaps that mountain is now a symbol of the current times. It had the largest streak of Sakuradite in the world. So Japan was invaded. So Japan was occupied. So Japan was ruled over. It's just fine for everyone else. Elevens die, but we live, right? They just keep the Japanese alive so that they can provide for them. To the degree that they can be ruled over and governed easily."- Kallen

"But, from what Suzaku told me. If an Eleven applies at the government office, they can become an Honorary Britannian."- (y/n)

"Honorary Britannian. It's ridiculous thing to say."- Kallen
