[ Rise settles down beside him, legs slightly out to the side and pressed close together as she leans in to take a closer look. A town that used to harbor people who lost their worlds... if that no longer exists (ish??), then does that mean their worlds came back and there was no longer a need for it?

Rise opts not to comment on that, though she nods to show she's listening. None of these sound remotely familiar, until he mentions "Disney Town" and both eyebrows raise in surprise. The scenes there look like something straight out of an amusement park, and the residents look like mascots. But-- nah.

That can't be-- nah.

Twilight Town looks tranquil, and the residents welcoming... and Radiant Garden lives up to its name, from the looks of it. Then there's the Land of Departure, and if Ven himself hadn't claimed that as home, she would have taken that name as "the place people went when they died".

But Ven isn't dead, and she's just going to have to hope that "Aqua" and "Terra" aren't either. ]

I don't think I'd do so great living on an island, anyway... I'd be as red as a lobster in no time.

[ It's a mild, weak joke, but Rise's doing her best, even though curiosity has her really tempted to ask what's happened there.

Again, she doesn't. ]

... If it's okay, though... can I stay with you?

[ Sure, his home might be quiet, but so was Inaba, when it wasn't embroiled in a murder case. Ven's the first person she met here, and as much as she does believe his friends are good people and trustworthy, Rise's reluctant to leave the safest and closest thing she's got to a friend right now.

... And, more importantly, she needs to befriend that cat. ]
