Hm? From home...? [It's like a switch is flipped or something. The smile and laughter fade, her hand going automatically to the bruising on her throat. God she wished.]

I... no. Um, I didn't really have any-- [Friends. No that sounds pathetic, she tries again:] It was really just me and my sister anyway, but she's... not here. [Mio shifts her weight and forces a smile] You're lucky you have your friends here. I mean, everything they said about our... planets or whatever... [She's not sure where she's going with that and shrugs]

Well. It's not so bad here, I guess. [That's a lie, it's agony without her sister at her side, but she can'treally go saying that out loud.]
