[The audio feed turns on and what follows is fairly monotonously said.]

Wow! More and more surprises today. First Yuki visits and now I'm transported here. Aliens do exist.

[There's an almost imperceptible clicking sound before it changes from audio to video to include a single eye, spiky white hair, and one of those bracelets you receive when

I'm not an alien, Oniisan!

[video]

[yingyangmoo]

They got you, too. I wonder how they brought us here.

[video]

[holmes_fanatic]

That's a good question -- I don't think anyone's been able to answer that yet.

[video]

[yingyangmoo]

Now where can we find the answer.

[video]

[holmes_fanatic]

Apparently the gods aren't exactly good at answering questions, even if we could find them!

[video]

[yingyangmoo]

I haven't met any yet. Hmm... maybe we've died.

[video]

[holmes_fanatic]

We haven't died.

[video]

[yingyangmoo]

I suppose you're right. [Akito is god to them after all.]

Then what could it be? [pauses to think] It's like we're in a black-and-white cartoon.

[video]

[holmes_fanatic]

It's not that either ...

Did you read the letter that the maid gave you?

[video]

[yingyangmoo]

[He holds it up in view, and it looks worn enough to have been read more than once.]

It's unnatural, isn't it? [It's better than being chained, but living this way isn't much different than how he was living before finding himself here -- chained without anything physical holding him.]

[video]

[holmes_fanatic]

Of course it is.

But unlike any of the theories you voiced, there's corroborating evidence in the city around you.

[video]

[yingyangmoo]

It's quite unbelievable. If there is a way here, there must be a way out.

[He smiles a little, but just because the person is young doesn't mean he won't at least sometimes reply based on the other person's reaction.]

What else have you seen here?

[video]

[holmes_fanatic]

Seen?

Um -- talking snowmen and a blue hedgehog.

[yingyangmoo]

[video]

Ah, is that what he is? [commenting mostly to himself]

Snowmen that can talk. A person might think you were dreaming.

What conclusions have you come to from all this? [Evidence is used for forming opinions and leading to conclusions.]

[holmes_fanatic]

That everyone here are taken from different worlds where there are different rules -- physics, magic, science -- and whoever brought us here have both the ability to circumvent or break those rules, and impose their rules on us.

[yingyangmoo]

You've learned that much already.

Ah, I'm Hatsuharu. [Gives a slight bow] Is where you're from very different from here?
