<div class="Wj3C7c">"Something is wrong." Seluna said getting up and looking out the cabin door. Other kids were looking out too. "That sudden stop, and I doubt the guy their sending is only a docter. If all this is natural, then I'm a priestice" (sorry if I spelled it wrong) (oOC-Seluna is not christian) "Seluna stop being paranoid you'll scare people" Mori retorted. "I'm not being paranoid, Im thinking things out" Seluna told Mori. "Do you think that this is natural?" </div>
