"I see little importance or value in the things they spend time on," she said rather dismissively. It was certainly harsh, but Mitsuru was quite often rather harsh. Truly it should be rather expected that she would be so. Besides, Junpei was probably quite used to her harshness at this point. He seemed more inclined to just sigh with an exasperated 'oh man' lately than actually be too offended.

"That sounds like quite a fascinating class to attend. I regret there is nothing like that in my own world for me to look forward to when I enter University." What a shame she'd have to learn normal things while there were worlds that had such exciting things being taught. She let out a tiny sigh of disappointment at the thought.

She gave a sharp nod and then began to recite what she could recall: "It was always dark there, dark and oppressive. There was a creeping fog that always left a foreboding feeling in it's wake. Everything there seemed..." she looked thoughtful for a moment as she tried to think of something to describe it. "Diluted? From what I have learned from speaking to another it also seemed as though the world changed. Our descriptions of the location did not precisely match. Any residents I encountered were never the same. There were times where I thought I recognized someone and then other times where they looked completely foreign to me. I am afraid I am uncertain what caused the change, though I suspect it might have had something to do with me. Perhaps my thoughts influenced them?" She wasn't entirely certain there, but her tone did sound quite certain of all the rest. From the few experiments she had done with approaching different 'residents' of that place she had seemed to notice a pattern in them reacting slightly different depending on her. Whether that was due to what she was thinking about or how she was feeling or something else entirely was an unknown variable to her.

"As I said, it is not much."

At his question she simply gave a nod, though she offered no further explanation. There may be people here with impressive and varied abilities but there was still hesitation in her to explain her secrets. Perhaps she hadn't learned her lessons as well as she had thought. Or perhaps she had just slid back into old habits. Her eyes widened at his explanation though and she gave him a look that showed that she was quite impressed. "How fascinating. It truly puts into perspective how small my world has been." Which was a bit funny considering how much she'd thought she'd known. Compared to some others here it seemed even the otherworld of Tartarus and the Dark Hour were small. There was still so much for her to learn. "A train in the underworld built by vampires. How did you end up invited?" Why would he have accepted the invitation was the real question she wished to ask.

"Indeed. And lessons are always important. I will not make the same mistake again."
