Vanille imagines a city like Bodhum and then Nautilus and wonders if Ashley's city is closer to one of those or Eden. She doesn't think she would like permanently living in one of those, even though Bodhum has the beach and Nautilus is a theme park. Eden has a park, but it's still very obviously a city.

Gran Pulse has a lot of monsters that aren't easy to explain. "But since these seeds haven't started sprouting legs and biting, they should be okay."
