"It's weird, in a way," said Sunset. "I've spent so long away from Equestria, and so much of that time not really caring about what happened there. Nightmare Moon, Discord, Chrysalis, they all came and went without me even knowing about it. I'm not sure what I would have felt if I'd known, though. Maybe the same thing I feel now."

"I guess it's kind of like moving to a different city or something like that," said Twilight. "You get used to the new place, but you still care about the old one. That's how I imagine it is, at least."

Sunset chuckled. "Maybe it's more like changing country. Hooves for hands instead of a different language, but it's closer. But how much of the human world have I actually seen? Less than I've seen of Equestria, and I haven't seen all that much of Equestria in the first place all things considered. I suppose it's about other things. Things that stay the same all over a world, or a country, or even just a city. That's where you really feel the change."

Twilight nodded. "I'm sure Equestria will be okay," she tried to reassure the other. "It's in great hooves, after all."

"Yes, please."
