Rei... what are you doing out here?

Thinking...

About...?

*sigh* I wonder how they're doing...

I guess... the kids on the island were friends, but, i'unno... I spent so much time with Raito that I just never got that close to any of them. Even after he got sick... I spent all my time in the garage with Uncle Iokua.

Going to Europe, though? ... heaven forbid you be different in that place. All I had was Mitch and Allen. Everyone else just... stared...

It hurt. A lot.

Racism is a new concept for Miria. Sorry. >_<

Different...? What do you mean? How were you different from them?

This'll be fun to explain then. YAY EDUMACATIONS. 8D

... I'm Asian.

*a further blank look makes her continue*

Hawai'i was an island that was mostly populated by either native Hawai'ians or Japanese. I'm Japanese. My parents moved to Hawai'i when I was about two. I never went anywhere else.

In Europe, most people are... Caucasian... Ayran. White. They don't like people who aren't just on principle alone, but being in the middle of a war? If you looked different... well, you got treated like crap.

And... *looks down at her lap* It was worse because I was with Mitch. One time I gave him a kiss on the cheek in public because we were going to school and I was saying goodbye, and some kids threw rocks at us.

Horrified Miria is horrified.

But, but! How can they do that! You're a human! Your just like them!

*Is feeling a little livid that anyone would dare hurt Rei just for giving someone a kiss.*

*Rei just shakes her head with a sad smile and looks away*

If I knew why... I'd tell you. But that's how most of Europe was. That's... how a good part of America was, too. Hawai'i was owned by it, but a lot of their ways just didn't make it across the ocean.

If you were different, you weren't right. And if you were different during a war? Then you were probably a spy.

But... its so unfair... *Once again Miria can be found giving Rei a hug.*

It's one thing if they react that way to a machine... but how can they do that to another human?

[steamgoboom.livejournal.com]

*Again, Rei can only shake her head*

I really don't know. I suppose it's the same screwed up, lolo mentality that makes them think it's okay to go and kill hundreds of people just because you're at war with another country.

There's a reason my parents didn't want to go back to Japan...

*remains silent for a moment before out right declaring:*

War is stupid...

[steamgoboom.livejournal.com]

... war is the reason I can't find my brother.

[guardianofearth.livejournal.com]

... you couldn't find your brother?

[steamgoboom.livejournal.com]

No...

He was in Germany when the worst of the fighting started. Some how... his letters stopped coming.

I went to Europe to try and find him, but it's like he's just... vanished.

*Miria looks down at her feet. After all there isn't anything she could do about it now. She just hugs tightly...*
