[This is Alejandro. Some of you might have seen him around town before, maybe putting up fliers for his radio show, maybe trying to work on some new song. Maybe he was just horribly, horribly lost, he's pretty good at that, too.]

[But this is different. This is Alejandro trying to pick up and move a couple of large, expensive looking boxes through

[Hey, do you get the feeling that someone is following you around for quite a time now? If not, the person who hides behind a street lamp is watching you.]

[an_dj]

[Stopping, putting down the boxes for a second, and catching his breath. To his credit, this is a pretty good walk from the train platforms to the shopping district, and he's in the home stretch...]

[deludesque]

Wh-what are you doing there?

[an_dj]

[Behind me?!]

A-ah, hello there... I'm just, ah, carrying these back to my apartment.

[deludesque]

What's in it?

[an_dj]

I-it's some of my stuff from home. My computer, and, ah... s-some old pictures and other things, I'm sure...

[deludesque]

A-and you're already taking a break?

[an_dj]

I-It's a pretty good walk from the train station to my apartment. A-and I have to be careful with them.

[deludesque]

Ah, sh-should I help you?

[an_dj]

That's very kind of you, but no. J-just let me catch my breath, I can make it.

[deludesque]

A-ah, okay... What's your name?

[an_dj]

[What the hell, let's put down the CDs too.]

My name is Alejandro Roa. It's nice to meet you, ah...?

[deludesque]

[you foreigner and your strange names]

I'm Haku! Nice to meetcha! Y-you're, uh, not from here, right?

[an_dj]

N-No, I'm from Mexico. I'm just here as a, ah, foreign exchange student, for the next school year.

It's nice to meet you, Haku.

[deludesque]

S-so... what's your f-first name then?

[an_dj]

Oh. Oh! [He chuckles.] I-I'm sorry. My first name is Alejandro. In my country, we introduce ourselves first name, then last name.
