There isn't any place to go. The rest of the world's been destroyed, our island is probably one of the only land masses left... And I'm not sure how we'd really get to any other places... [They trail off, tapping thoughtfully at their chin with a little frown]
[ Once again, that's just a bit concerning - but when Diamond explains more it starts to make more sense. It also starts to sound more and more interesting. ]
According to Sensei, there were six meteors that crashed into the Earth, destroying it and all life, millions of years ago--or more. All that's left is our island.
[At least that's as far as they all know. They haven't had reason to doubt it.]

[ Well, that'd certainly do it. Though since Diamond brought it up just a moment ago, Akechi supposes it's alright to ask... ]
If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?
[ Whatever Diamond, Akechi is pretty sure they aren't human. ]
no subject
Well, I'm not as old as Yellow, but... About 3,400. Give or take a couple of years.
no subject
Well. He wouldn't have quite believed any of this, either. ]
That's... incredible, actually. Humans are lucky to live even a hundred years, and you're--
[ Really old, though that's a pretty rude way of putting it. Akechi opts to simply fall silent instead. ]
