Claude: "Ah, the sunset on lake Col, how fascinating! Looking at it, I can feel a lot of emotions flowing through me: excitement for this adventurous journey, calmness and carelessness for being far away by my former life as an Ensign on Calnus, under my father's shadow. But other feelings, less desirable, cross my heart: the red sky reminds me of the bloodshed of both friends and enemies, both in struggles and calamities; and the melancholy lake embraced by the warm earth fills me with nostalgia and makes me homesick. Oh, I wonder how my mum's doing right now...".No, no, wait! This isn't right! And for two good reasons: one is that, like when we approached Cross for the first time, the sun (or rather some other star) suddenly came down just like that; the other is that Claude is nowhere near as deep as I tried to make him sound (and that means he's extremely shallow). However the setting here is really beautiful, despite its blocky, polygonally crude appearance; it's not like there are special effects in place or anything, just a moment of reprieve in our adventure which happens to match the background perfectly.
