Arietta's reaction took Chester by surprise as well; nobody reacted in such a way unless what was being spoken of meant anything to them. 'No one else... made it...'? It took a few seconds to register in Chester's head (as slow as it was concerning this type of thing), and he set down his glass as he bent down to meet Arietta's eye level. Could it be? No... she couldn't be Ami. Getting his hopes up wasn't an option, otherwise the heartbreak would simply shatter him. But... it was nice having a tie with someone, really. Chester also thought nobody else survive the tragedy that happened in Feres.
He waited for a few more seconds to give Arietta time to collect her own thoughts, and offered her a small smile. "Arietta? Are you also from Feres Isle?" It might have been an obvious question, but... "It must have been difficult. It was soon right after you were born, wasn't it?" He tried taking her age into account.
