Seluna saw the train come in. She felt so... what phrase would work?
Mystified, weirded out, scared, corageous, like she wanted to scream,
like she was to shy to say anything? She didn't know. The only thing
that woke her out of her atrtificial sleep was Koramori. "Wow. What do
you think Seluna?"

"Huh?...Oh! what?" Seluna said starting to feel dizzy from all the new things.

"I said what do you think, dope. Mori said, still staring at her friend.

"I dont know."Seluna remarked puting a grim look on her face."I just
got the feling something bad is going to happen. I guess I just ... I
don't know. All these new things. It fells like I'm not supposed to
know it."

"Don't be so serious, your starting to sound like your parents. Just
because they didn't want you to see it dosn't mean your not supposed
to. Now come on." Mori exclaimed, walking towards the train.
