-Refugees go about their business around Biker and Cloud in Area 2-
-The occasional security guard, station guide or immigration official goes by-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-It seems that food rations are about to be distributed. People organise themselves into queues to receive it-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-Some of those in the queue are scraggly and unkempt, while others are in much better shape. It's clear that in any other situation, there'd be clear class divisions, but it's been months since any of it has mattered to these survivors-
-Cloud may notice one woman who also isn't joining the queues-
-Wait a second... is that...?-
-She turns to walk away-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-She turns at the sound of her name, alarmed-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-Approaches her- I'm sorry if I said anything to upset you the other day, I didn't mean it, and sometimes I just say stupid things and I'm really sorry if I said something and that's why you said you left, and I never thanked you properly for what you did for me, and I got you something — -Shoves the bag with the notebook and the pencil set at her abruptly- — and if you don't like it, that's okay, and I'm sorry I wrote the note on the receipt but I didn't want to ruin the book by writing it it, and I didn't think to get you a card until after —
MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon Alchemist-She looks down at the sketch book, then up at Cloud-
... I can't see you. You're here... but I can't see you like the others.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?You're ungrounded. No thread to follow. No past, and infinite possibilities. I can't read you.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?...
...
You don't belong here. Your entire atomic makeup never formed with this universe. Untraceable. Unpredictable. Who brought you here?
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?I don't know who it was the first time. But this time was The Doctor.
...
Never mind. Wouldn't — I wouldn't expect you to remember some guy you just talked to once for half an hour. -Attempts a joking laugh. Fails miserably-

MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon Alchemist-Her eyes light up at the name-
The Doctor? He's here?
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-Realises she's hurt his feelings-
Um... so... remind me what we did together.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?...You bought me food. I hadn't eaten in a while... you were watching me in the park, and you walked up to me and smiled, and you drew me, and you bought me food, and... I thought — you didn't know who I was. I hadn't ever done anything for you. You didn't have any reason to even look at me. You were just... nice to me. Just because. You were nice to me.
...But it wasn't about me, was it? It was about the Doctor. No wonder you don't remember me.
MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistDo you... do you know what that meant to me? -His voice cracks a tiny bit-
...Don't even bother. If you want to talk to the Doctor, keep an eye out for Lynne. Ginger, long hair, detective lady. Can't miss her. She was looking for him, I think. -Sounds extremely bitter-
