Well, this is embarrassing.
[It's hard to tell since it's only his voice, but Adachi's grimacing.]
Can anybody hear me? [His voice drops:] I'm feeling kinda stupid talking to this phone I found... Can somebody pick up? Is this even working? Sheesh, I didn't even know Inaba had a forest like this...

[His full attention is on his phone now.]
This isn't Inaba, is it?

Before I explain, what's the last thing you remember before you got here?

I kinda figured that out after...well, seeing the mansion.
[Excuse him. He'll be gaping at the mansion for a second.
At the question, he puts on his best worried smile.]
Let's see... It was December, and it was a few weeks or so after Dojima's accident. I was walking in the hospital about to find him to tell him the big news about Namatame. [Great, he's back to grimacing again.] ...Sorry. I have no idea how I ended up out here, though.

[He doesn't have too much to say to that, other than--]
Well, there's gotta be a way out of here, right? I mean, you just got here too, right?
[Says the man who spent an hour walking in a forest. But encouragement and optimism has always been the best cover.]

I swear I just saw you guys at the hospital yesterday!

And, I have no idea, to be honest. This whole place is weird. Woods all around, but no people. I even found this phone out there. I was hoping I could call someone on it, but...that didn't turn out well.
It looks like there's nowhere to go besides the mansion... Am I wrong?

That's too bad. But there's books and other stuff inside, right? If you're right about being here for weeks, that is. I can't really say I really believe you on that.

Listen, are you going to tell me where I am any time soon?
[For some reason, the kid's annoying him more than usual. It's doing a number on his self restraint.]

[So he can punch Adachi in the face. He must be channeling Kanji.
Yeah, that's totally it.]
Come to the mansion. I'll meet you at the door.
