Earth's perspective:

Earth enters the house, it's a small room.

A small table, a bed, and a circle curtain latched  to the roof to give the person in the bed privacy.

Earth parts the curtain, and see's a person who stares up at the sky.

"Jupi?"

"Earth-?"

"I forgot you know English-"

"We learned together-!"
The person sits up from the bed, chuckling.

"Yeah- Um, the younger kids and I were talking- they said you haven't left your room here-?"

"Oh yeah- they don't know- um... Did they tell you about the wolf?"

"Yeah- they said it attacked-?"

"... Yeah, it also bit off half my leg..."

"W-WHAT?!"

"It's not that bad- I just can't really move right now... Anyways, how are you doing?"

JUST GONNA GLOSS OVER THAT-?! OK.

Earth takes in a deep breath.

"Well... I've gotten a job!"

"Yeah, and then continued to not show up for over a year."

"... It took some time to get a paycheck..."

"Where do you even work?"

"... With pirates-?"


"Ok. Very funny-"

"I'm telling the truth Jupiter!"
Earth crosses her arm's, Jupiter not believing a second of it.

"If you don't want to tell me, I won't push you. Though... Are you dealing good with- everything?"

"... I'm not a kid anymore... I'm fine..."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"... I've talked about it enough already."

"That was one time. When you where twelve, and that was about school."

"... Fine."

Jupiter pats a empty spot on the bed, Earth sitting down on it.




























































































A young Earth wanders the world, with her mother holding her hand every step of the way.

"媽媽!"
'Mama', Earth says.

"什麼地球?"
'What Earth?' her mother asks in a soft tone.

"我們去哪?"
Earth asks where the two are going, having walked for hours.

"我們要去拜訪你的父親。"
Her mother states how they are gonna visit Earth's dad.

"爸爸? 你是說那塊石頭嗎?"
Earth is confused, and asks if her mother means a stone.

"石頭是你的父親。"
Earth's mother says that the stone is her father.

"這沒有道理。爸爸什麼時候回家?"
Earth is still confused, saying that doesn't make any sense, and asking when dad is coming home.
