Yeah. It doesn't feel like there's anything between us and all of that.
[Is it the magic of this place, or just how aquariums usually are? But even knowing that the glass in front of them must be inches thick, everything is still so clear and vibrant that she feels like she could just... reach out and touch one of the craggy mounds of coral-encrusted rock scattered about the sandy floor of the tank.]
Something this big, this wide... it would be easy for it to feel empty. But there's so much life inside of it...
[It's... strangely reassuring? Even putting aside the fish drifting about, she can see the eels burrowed under the sand or hidden away in some of the rocky nooks, little crabs and small shellfish scuttling about... there's even more to it, as long as you look close enough.
Hm.
It's easy to get lost in thoughts like that, as she watches a koi spirit with electric blue fins swim past, and as her eyes follow it, she notices something.
One of the hallways branching out past the main room isn't just a hallway - it's an extension of the tank itself. Instead of normal walls, the glass arches over the walkway, forming a tube beneath the water, giving visitors the impression that they're walking within the tank itself.
... She's not sure if she wants to pull Mafuyu away from the sight before her just yet, as her friend is so entranced by the sight before them now, but she still makes a note of it. For when they do decide to move on.]
