Nicole seemed particularly interested in Si's strong response.
"If it isn't too much to ask, would you mind telling me why you detest this so-called Golden Gold City?"
A bitter smile formed on Si's face.
"I'm not certain if I would say that I detest it, but sure, I don't mind sharing my experiences. The only thing that I lament is that they happened at all and the losses it came with."
He tilted his head to the side.
"To be more specific, the place in my world is called The City of Gold. It was known to be a place of endless riches, and anybody who left the place would be the owner of an unfathomable wealth. At the time, my friends, who were particularly ambitious, wished to reach said city. None of us had much to our name, thus we often did what we had to for survival. With that, came many hopes for riches, although they never ended up succeeding."
Si took a deep breath and shook his head with disappointment.
Just scream better.
