Right... your family.
Your siblings are the children of Nadine, the master of the Birdnest, a large system of farmlands in the overworld. Just like her, they're nothing short of impressive.

Your eldest sister, Layla Aquila, often went hunting in faraway places. She'd bring back plenty of spoils, and delicious prey from nebulae in the depths of space!

But you never knew how she found her way through the sandy clouds of the overworld.

And Meitham Grus, your eldest brother, was always willing to take you anywhere you wanted in the sky. In fact, he'd frequently escort every other sibling of yours on their outings too. He's simply that dependable of a brother!

Yet, you never asked how he could find the way home so consistently.

Siblings are meant to share experiences. Naturally, they also compete.

Yuness Columba, too... who once travelled to the human world without any help, despite being the third youngest of the family. God knows he never stopped bragging about it to you, the second youngest!

He must've known well how to prepare for lengthy trips like that... and yet, you never asked how he managed it. Instead, all you could think about was yourself.

That's not even mentioning your other siblings, whose various survival skills ensured they'd escape the dangers of the overworld, live long enough to eventually meet your mother, and thus... become one family.

Compared to them, you really didn't do much.

Even your fortunate survival in the nurseries was just that - pure luck.

Ugh... your legs are starting to ache.
The pressure from trying to withstand the pushback while crossing was more than enough, and all this walking hasn't helped one bit. How much longer do you have to go?

You're starting to feel thirsty, too.

Is it even a good idea to look for Nino and the others like this?

Maybe you could take a break. But... can you afford one right now?
They could just be going further and further while you're dawdling here.

What's going to happen if you never find your friends again?

-/-/-/->

Uah, these thoughts are so... huh?

A flower is growing in the sand.
How can flowers bloom in a barren desert?

The sight of greenery is unexpected. There's flowers, grass, and...

Hold on, is that a palm tree you're leaning on!?

-/-/-/->

Oh! Oh, oh, oh!!!

Trees mean that this land is fertile....
Which means that this path must lead to a water source somewhere!

And THAT means that there's an oasis nearby!

Mei: Head for the trees. Plants mean potential water or food.

Indeed! As you follow the path, the sight of greenery continues!

Hahah, yes! There wasn't any reason to worry after all!
Even without belief, you can still manage!

When it comes to basic survival, your luck is so very dependable.

Meimona: Enter oasis.

The greenery, concentrated in one spot... woah!!!
There are flowers everywhere! Not even the sands of the overworld are like this!

It's beautiful... you had no idea a desert could be so full of life.

-/-/-/->

It's gorgeous, but...

But nobody's here, really.

Umm, well... everyone else must be looking for an oasis like you were, right? That's what makes the most sense to do in a desert, after all!
If you just wait here, maybe you'll run into them.

Right, didn't your mum tell you something like this before...?

When you got lost, drifting in the stars of space.
What is it that she said again?
