The capital city of our country, in fact. We all stay in a dormitory, and we take a train out there - it's a really pretty view, going over the ocean like we do to the island where the school is.
[Look, divert into how pretty Tatsumi Port Island is! She smiles.] It's all new buildings around there, too, so everything looks more or less clean and good! Way different than out in the country. We even have an observatory! You ever used the observatory? [Ha ha. She doesn't know, Minato.]
