[Bruno will not receive an answer, even as the fog clears into a scene unfolding before him. He finds himself in some sort of massive indoor garden, full of all sorts of foliage and stately white marble architecture. Beyond the garden is fantasy city with a projected sky and everything else needed to support life in this strange locale.
A crowd has gathered at the center of the garden, many wearing white labcoats and hailing from a variety of fantasy races. Most recognizable to Bruno would of course be the tall and pointy-eared elezen, but there are seemingly humans among this number as well, and...wait, are those little talking rabbits? They're having lively conversations with the studious folk. In the middle of all the action is Urianger, acting as a go-between for the rabbits and scientists.
As Bruno approaches the gathering, he'll find a conversation happening directly in front of him. One of the rabbits, sporting a brown coat of fur over the white of the other rabbits, is speaking to a man that could only be described as "the protagonist of many fantasy novels that Bruno may have read in his youth." Human and average-sized with short brown hair and a bit of stubble, he's clad in full paladin armor and is also observing the scene.]
"Phew! Finally, some rest." [The rabbit proclaims to the man.] "Why, I haven't spoken so much in...well, in forever!"
[Another human man walks up from behind to meet with these two, this one dressed in black and white with a snazzy coat and white hair. A gunblade is strapped to his back.]
"Lively, isn't it?" [He says.] "The town is abuzz- everyone eager to meet with our friends from the moon."
[He turns his attention to observe Urianger, who is currently recommending one of the rabbits to a group of labcoat-clad people.]
"I'm impressed. Truth be told, I struggle to tell one from another. No offense intended, of course..."
"None taken!" [The brown-furred rabbit replies.] "After you and your friends left Mare Lamentorum, we spent no small amount of time with your Urianger. Oh, the conversations we had! He told us all about Etheirys- answered our every question, no matter how trifling or trivial."
[It seems like Urianger befriended talking rabbits from the moon! Wild. The brown-furred rabbit goes on to explain how much they were able to write down about Etheirys- the world that Urianger and the others are from. Now here they are, experiencing it and its people in person.
The white-haired man looks back to Urianger with a thoughtful smile.]
"What would they think if they could see Urianger now? I daresay they'd be more than a little surprised...and impressed, no doubt."
[Sounds like Urianger has come a long way in some manner. But who might he be talking about? Friends who are no longer with them, from the sound of it. As he's reminiscing, he falls quiet and balks at the sight of a couple—a man and a woman—approaching the scene. They are of another race than the humans and elezen, very tall and broad, and also clad in lab coats.]
"Ho there!" [The man calls out to Urianger.] "Heard there was a visiting expert who we might bother with a few questions. I take it you'd be the one?"
[Urianger freezes in place at the sound of this man's voice, a look of both surprise and fright in his expression.
Whoever these two people are, Bruno gets the sense that Urianger was dreading their appearance at this event.]
