[ Similarly, this environment is like nothing that Genji has seen before. Even the trees are foreign, the trunks and leaves in different colors that make it feel almost as if he's in some strange dream. This is real, though, as unlikely as it might seem, and the sooner that he adapts, the better.

Getting to know his fellow COST agents is a large part of that, and he already feels like he's learned much about Ashitaka. This curse that he's suffering from sounds like an illness more than anything else, but it's good to hear that COST has some way to stop its progression. Given that they can control time, that might have something to do with it. (He's getting the hang of how things work around here, at least a little.) ]
