1931 Winter: The Time of the Oasis/Digression 2

Synopsis
In 193X, Isaac & Miria discuss the circus, getting the concept of a circus and a zoo mixed up. They remember that Firo Prochainezo has mentioned a friend who used to be in a circus and is capable of all manner of acrobatic tricks. Isaac declares that Firo is amazing for having such a talented friend; Firo himself admonishes them for talking nonsense again. The two ask if his protest means he's not amazing, and tell him that whether or not he is amazing doesn't matter, since they'll like him just fine either way.

Ennis joins the conversation, curious about the circus; as a homunculus, she has very little experience with that sort of thing and wants to know what makes a circus enjoyable. Firo isn't able to come up with an answer, so Maiza butts in, saying that a large part of the appeal is probably "seeing someone overcome the limits you'd always believed in," since the instinctual reaction of humans seeing something that surpasses their expectations is either wonder or fear.

Seina shuts the conversation down after Firo brings up the subject of large bugs, to which Ennis replies asking about why people fear cockroaches. Isaac and Miria quickly start their own conversation again, figuring that the bigger things are, the more impressive or scary they can get.
