[Pearl had... somehow managed to secure a worldhop here through indeterminate means we don't need no stinkin' reasons this is DDD, and she was now sitting practically vibrating with excitement on one of the seats in the lobby. She was so excited! It had really been a while since she'd met anyone her own age, and Mileina was so nice as well that she was sure that the meeting would be wonderful. And she was in space! She hadn't been able to look properly yet, but that in itself was amazing anyway, right?

She craned her neck to look at every new arrival, trying to spot Mileina. They'd met during the event with the High School, after all, so they knew what each other looked like! But who was that over there... there was a girl about her own age with an older man, and her hairstyle looked very familiar...

Excited, she got up and began to weave through the people until she was close enough to wave and call to them.]

Um, excuse me! Mileina, it's me! I'm over here!
