>You sigh mentally.
>You do not, as expected.
>You begin to fly over to the extravagant palace.
>As you approach, you notice Iku sitting outside the palace, an extremely bored expression on her face.

>That's got to be a plus, right?
>You continue on towards Iku, keeping your eye out for Tenshi along the way.
>You land in front of Iku, who gives you a quick glance and a sigh before continuing to stare out into space with a rather blank expression.

>"Oh, Iku, you're so far lost that your own mind wants to confirm what you know."
>"Well, let's see..."

>"So you rushed outside to see what was going on, only to see that everything had stopped moving."
>"You wondered what was happening, so you tried to find someone. Except everyone was gone."
>"So you wanted to check one of the other islands, maybe someone was still around there."
>"Then you noticed that you couldn't fly because your clothes had a few tears from running around."
>"So you've just been waiting for somebody, anybody, to rescue you."
>"It's just too bad that you lost your mind before that could happen, Iku."
>Iku sighs.
>You take a look around and, now that you think about it, the clouds are indeed still.
