[video][Click. There's a brief silence and then a bit of flickering on the screen as its owner shifts around a bit -- though he's gotten a little more conscious of the 'video' feature and you have some partial view of him rather than the wall or the floor, all you can really see is a mop of blond hair and... a lot of blankets

I'm sorry, though. This place is already confusing, and then to wake up in a different room...

... There's no need for you to apologize. It's simply a startling move, nothing more.
[That, and he's already had experience waking up in inexplicable places. He's just... He's actually really glad he's still here somewhere. The thought gives him a small shiver.]
Though, we still haven't learned the reason for such Houses, have we?

No, but... I noticed that a lot of people in Heimdall like helping people, so maybe that's why we were put there? But - but there's probably something really nice about your new house, too. Just different.

Still, her words make him smile a little.]
House Heimdall does seem to be your home then, miss. As for myself-- [his voice is a touch rueful] --I can't call myself that generous.
... But it's as you say. I will not insult the members of House Freya by assuming the worst, of course.

You'll feel better when you meet some people and get used to everything, I bet. Sometimes new can be scary, but - sometimes it can be better than before.

Regardless of the intention, the outcome is that something good is done, isn't it?
[No, he can't call himself a 'good person' either on the outside or on the inside. He gave up holding on to something like that a long time ago.
She does have her points, though.]
Yes, change isn't a bad thing. I am glad to be here, and to be allowed to do this.
[He leaves 'this' ambiguous. There are a lot of 'this'es, to be honest.]

Yeah... yeah, you're right. The intentions aren't as important, as long as the right thing is done. [Deadly solemn about that.
But she softens at the next point.] Yeah, so am I. It's a bit weird, but it's really not that bad. And my work was done at home, so if I can still be of some use... that's a good thing.

And despite differences, they really do have some points in common, don't they? Allen nods, though it's only half-visible.]
I understand. [And he truly does.] Then, you intend to cooperate with the 'gods' and bring life to this city.

[He makes a small sound of amusement.]
We really are different. Honestly, I'm much more interested in making sure nothing happens to my home.
[And if it would save his home -- save Rillianne -- he would destroy this world without hesitation. It's something he leaves unsaid, of course.]

... and I mean, I haven't totally let go either. There's things I miss, people I miss. I just have to be strong for her, because she'd want me to do the right thing, too.

I'm not saying the people of my home are incompetent -- but these are unknown 'gods' and an unknown threat that they may not be able to do anything about. That's not something I will stand for.
[There must be a reason he's still here. And this one seems good enough -- he'll be grateful for that much.]
... 'She' must be an amazing person.

I know it wasn't right to just bring us here like this. Especially not people who are... who still have things to do. [She's struggled with that in her darker moments.] But I just think - they must've been so desperate to do this, and that's so sad. I still want to help.

My best friend, and the most amazing person I've ever known.

[If he doesn't have to destroy anything else... Would that be okay? Is that too naive here?]

Maybe, in this place, you'll see her again.
