They'd... had one. But every one of them "mysteriously disappeared"—[ yes, she does the finger quotes ]—shortly before we arrived.
And none of us had any idea what was going on, and nobody was told what their powers were or how they'd changed, so... we were clueless, and in danger, all the time.
Gods. [she shakes her head, too, still baffled by the whole concept.] How could anyone keep up with such madness? People really are incredible. [not so much the lack of police; she's sure she'd have found a way to rally aid! or...rally to someone rallying aid.
it's the powers thing. if she hadn't known she could fly, and then suddenly went careening into the sky randomly...]
To tell the truth, we mostly didn't. It wasn't an easy place to live, even for the ones with more... ah, "heroic experience." All the information you're handed in this world, when you arrive, that's all stuff we had to figure out on our own.
Like... that we would resurrect, if we died. That if we disappeared, then maybe we were sent home. That people who had disappeared could come back. That they could return without their memories — and, sometimes, with them.
[ her head cants, and her fork digs a little at her tiramisu. ]
I don't mean to make the hardships of this world sound like they don't matter, but... it is kinder, I think. This place is kinder.
No, you...from where you stand, you make sense to say so. [she's still a bit woman-with-math over here, but it's starting to ebb. she's at least relieved that the level of madness Ruka experienced before is less of late.
while Ruka picks at her treat, Lucina glances out the window.]
How many more worlds out there could have such crazy things happen...If it's happened once or twice before, then why not thrice? Or more. [she rests her chin in her hand.]

stare some more. swallow.]
A...a city of a larger scope than this? But-- [blink. grimace.] How? Wouldn't the citizens rally to...to reform one?
