This place was ... strange. Very strange. Levi was learning quickly that advances in technology were incredibly advanced here, and there was hardly any keeping up with it at all. Cell phones, computers, cars. It was a lot to learn about, let alone use. But he was trying.
Still, he'd had to get away from it all once it had all gotten too overwhelming (and maybe, just maybe, he wasn't only thinking about the glowing screens and buttons when that feeling had come over him). He'd spent so much time in his past life going on survey expeditions that it only made sense for him to leave his little abode and go exploring.
He walked for a bit, because he was saving gas on his 3D maneuver gear (never knew when that could be useful or necessary again, after all), and found it somewhat ironic when he happened upon a beach. These things were just popping up everywhere, now he knew they existed.
He ended up at the shoreline, staring at the moving waves and low tide. Pointedly, he did not think of his past life, of his friends and they way they'd run into the water like complete idiots the first time they'd seen it. He did not think of the way he'd abandoned them. Instead, he kept his mind mostly blank, even as he turned away from the water and looked over the rest of the beach.
While he hadn't expected to be alone, it was still something of a shock to find people in this place in such a state of relaxation. The girl sprawled out on a blanket with a book some few feet away was somehow reassuring. People could have things like that here.
Probably, he should not have stared for quite so long.
