"Our necklaces are all made with stuff from the ocean. The ocean is 'say-cuh-red' to us so anything we find there is kinda like a gift! Everyone in my tribe has one and... and Mother says that each thing on our necklaces mean different things to our tribe and tell a little bit about each of us. Even where all these things are placed is important!"

"If art is making something that means something, then my necklace is kind of like your drawings, right?"

Ignem: See?? Look!! It’s me and Bag and Spoon!! And we’re all smiling!! 

Ignem: I made it yesterday so I can show it to Spoon when he makes a door so we can visit him!!

Ignem: ...

Ignem: Wait. How do you make a necklace?? I thought they appeared in boxes.

The kid looks unfussed by either Chu or Zera speaking the same language as it. Instead, the kid runs up to the pair, staring up at Zera and then down at Chu, its hair tumbling down over its pale face.

"Yeah! Well, uhh." Rem starts happily before thinking for a moment. "Technically it was growing at home since before I hatched. But I've been taking care of it so I guess it's mine! Do you want to see it? Here I'll open a portal to it!"

The excited Arcetina moves and taps the air. The portal, opening like a ripple in a puddle. As it stabilizes it reveals a place, one that feels... almost alien to the Distortion World.

While the landscape looks unlike anywhere else seen in the Distortion World, what is there is familiar to others except Rem it seems.

Long dried blood sits visible on the gold fragment sitting in front of the tree. The spike behind the tree sits corroded, almost exactly like Rem's but more severe. The tree itself sits calmly, leaves rustling in the soft breeze.

Rem enters the portal, giving a surprising reference in height. The small fusion only coming to half the height of the gold fragment. The young Arcetina flies around the tree in circles before nearing the portal.

"Isn't it cool? This is the only one I could find ANYWHERE in the Distortion World!" The young fusion says proudly as they return to Ignem's side.
