Right ...

[ A bit of an embarrassed laugh ]

I was just ... I can't help but think it's an unfair way to treat the people who live here. Keeping them in the dark and all ...

[puro]

Oh.

[He frowns, that's sure going to tug on his heartstrings. ]

I hadn't considered that. You're right. I mean, it's easier, living in a happy ignorance...but it isn't fair to them. They should have the choice.

[ino]

Mm ... and all for the entertainment of others.

[ Kind of like their situation, really. They had been brought there for the entertainment of others and had no choice but to be there. Though at least they were aware of the fact that they didn't belong there ... ]

I just wish there was a way to help them.

[puro]

[Well, if there;s one thing Manolo is good at, it's fighting for a CAUSE. ]

Who's to say there isn't?

[ino]

[ She gives him a look. ]

This place hasn't been around for awhile for nothing. I'm sure there's been previous attempts that have been thwarted.

[puro]

Ah, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. We just need to find another way.

[ino]

[ ... a small smile. He kinda reminds her of like ... a Mexican wooden Naruto. ]

I think maybe this calls for some investigation.

[puro]

[He promises he will never pee on you.]

That's the spirit. I bet there's lots of clues around the place.

[ino]

[ THANKS FRIEND. ]

I guess it doesn't hurt to check, at least.

[puro]

[Better than Naruto already! ]

I will ask around, I wanted to see if anyone knew a way back to Earth, anyway. The place is full of tourists, someone might have been that end of the galaxy.

[ino]

[ She kind of doubts it would ever be that easy, and also there's the whole thing about there being multiple Earths, but she won't put a damper on his enthusiasm there. ]

I hope so. That would be pretty helpful for some of the people here.

[puro]

[Even that wouldn't stop him. This one is ridiculously determined.]

I'd want everyone to get home, if I could help them.

[ino]

[ She gives him a look ... ]

What sort of place do you come from, Manolo?

[puro]

I'm from a little town in the middle of Mexico, San Angel. It's a good place, it's got good people in it.

[A pause, because he's remembered not everyone is from the same world here. ]

...That's on a planet called Earth.

[ino]

Mexico? I don't think I've ever heard of that before.

[ But it sounds like he loves it there, so ... ]

It's good you have good people to go back to.

[puro]

It's a beautiful country, you'd love it.

[Okay, so it's still hanging on to what remains of it after the revolution, but still. ]

I have the best people waiting for me. San Angel is a good place.

[Even after everything, after almost everyone turned on him, he absolutely believes this. ]

[ino]

[ LMFAO ... Poor Manolo ... ]

You're very lucky ... I hope you're able to find a way home soon, then.

[puro]

Gracias. I'm going to do everything I can to get back.

To get all of us back. [Because this thing is bigger than him, and he can't in good conscience abandon people here. ]

[ino]

Grasi ... ass ... ?

[puro]

Gracias. It means thank you.

[ino]

What language is that?

[puro]

Spanish. You've never heard of it?

[Not everyone is from Earth, Manolo. You should know this.]

[ino]

No ... I don't think we have that where I'm from.

Where I come from, "thank you" is "arigatou".

[puro]

Ah-ree-gat-oo?

[He tried. ]

[ino]

[ It's okay, Manolo, she had a hard time with yours too ]

Ah-ree-ga-toh.
