[Tuuri looks up at the planetarium ceiling, seeing the countless stars projected up there.]
The constellations look different, but it's the same idea of glowing stars. Though this is more what it looks like on nights with a visible moon. During the full moon, when it gets really dark, you can see even more stars than this. They're so numerous it looks almost like someone spilled milk all over the sky.
That really does sound pretty. The kinds of things we take for granted, hm?
[ Alas, human nature. Such pretty things hidden right above their heads all along. ]
Do you know any constellations? I'm not familiar at all, beyond the basic twelve for the Zodiac, and that's really more just because there's always a column in girl magazines.
There's a few I know, we use them to track the seasons and trips.
