Hamuko's giddiness and enthusiasm tapered off, as Akane explained the world they were from. Explained just how dire things were...
Even if she logically knew that there would likely be threats to life, it was... sad, to hear that things had gone so far downhill. That people were restricted from those areas, so on... that sounded... suffocating. And profoundly sad.
But Hamuko put on a calm smile when asked the question, tapering herself. After all, these two were part of something that fought to change things, there were people trying. She believed in them.
"There's something sort of funny, when you're really young in your life. All your mind's impulses are so new, and you haven't been told not to follow those impulses or taught how to temper them because what might strangers think about you acting childishly?" She chuckled a little. "...Well, I think life is a lot more fun to indulge on impulses and not worry too much about other adults judging you. Once you have a body, Akane-chan, I think you'll get a chance to feel that too."
