It's not bad. I'm used to going from sunup to sundown. You get to see a lot of different things. A lot of different terrains. Before I joined SOLDIER, I barely left my hometown, so... guess I know what it's like having to learn to deal with a whole new place.

Hopping through a magic door might be overdoing it though.
