[Isn't life great? Just when she was starting to re-familiarize with four years of memories, she ends up here! Alone! In any case, the camera switches on to focus on one lone girl sitting down and crying, the angle at an odd tilt from having fallen down.]I-I must be dreaming, right? This... this can't possibly be home. But even if this is a dream,

I don't get this place...

[prodigal_axe]

Hey, uh, don't be upset. It ain't so bad here.

[allephoria]

But it is bad here! I-I'm all alone with no idea where I am... there's nothing good about here.

[prodigal_axe]

You ain't hurt, right? You gotta count that as something good.

[allephoria]

I guess so... though it seems kind of small compared to everything else. B-But, I should try and think more positive, right?

[prodigal_axe]

Yeah! Hey, if you can't find anyplace, uh... I got this bar place on Bonito street. You wanna come over here? We got food.

[allephoria]

You seem a little young to be in a bar... well, that's the same for me, so I guess it doesn't matter either way, hehe. I'd love to go, though I don't know where Bonita street is from where I am.

[prodigal_axe]

You're tellin' me. I own the place, and I'm eight. That's why I kinda think this place is a dream.

You got any other street signs near you?

[allephoria]

Haha, it would be nice if this was all a dream.

Umm... [the camera shifts to reveal a sign saying "Liddell Way"] I can't read the sign, but this is the only one I see here.

[prodigal_axe]

Yeah... I bet it is. Sure is a long dream though.

[Staring at the sign for a moment. Liddell Way. For whatever reason, he's pretty sure he knows directions from there. He'll chalk it up to more of this place's weirdness.]

Okay you gotta keep going to that 'Lander' street. Then go North on that for awhile... uh, then you're gonna see a Ingles. Keep goin' left, and you'll see Bonito after awhile.

...could come find you, I guess.

[allephoria]

N-No, it's okay! You're already doing so much for me, I wouldn't want to trouble you any further by making you come get me.

Oh, I'm Chihiro Shindou by the way. It feels not to give my name when you're practically a life-saver, haha.

[prodigal_axe]

Fine...I don't mind tryin' if you get lost. It's just a walk.

[Except with possible monsters. Not that he's gonna scare this person by mentioning that.]

Name's Shinjiro. Don't worry about it...I gave you some directions, that ain't a big deal.

[allephoria]

It's nice to meet you Shinjiro-kun. But you're giving me a place to stay too, not to mention food in what looks like a wasteland... that's a lot to give someone. Thank you.

[prodigal_axe]

Uh...

[Blushing now. He's not used to people saying that kind of thing.]

Hey, don't worry about it. Just get over here before it gets too dark.

[allephoria]

Hehe, I'm on my way. See? [The camera swivels to a sign saying "Ingles Trail" before coming back to her] I think I'm almost there.

[prodigal_axe]

Oh...cool. You're gettin' closer.
