The first person to approach her appeared to be an ordinary girl, though Kino swore she saw... something unusual happening with her hair for a very brief moment as she was approaching. Of course, hair didn't act on its own, but this place was strange already... She turned fully away from Hermes, who fell silent for a moment at the approach of the girl. Kino was about to open her mouth when the girl spoke first, asking if she knew her. For a few moments, Kino was silent. No, she didn't recall ever meeting a girl who looked like this, not in any of the countries she had visited nor on the road. She shook her head, wordlessly, before finally speaking.

"I think you may have mistaken me for someone else," she said. Kino wasn't certain who, precisely, but it was the only possibility that she could figure out.

"Kino! There's a huge hairy man!" declared Hermes. Kino, of course, had heard another figure approaching, but as her eyes fell on him she was quite certain he was not a huge hairy man. Pausing for a moment in disbelief, Kino stared up at the massive gorilla for a few moments. She didn't exactly expect one, here, to simply stroll up like that. Then again, she didn't expect to wake up outside of a school when she had been sleeping in a nice, warm, cheap bed.

"... That's... a gorilla, Hermes," said Kino. She had never seen one before.
