Ken had not paid much attention when others entered the room, only vaguely aware one of them sat near by. Copying the map required more concentration than expected. There wasn't even room to consider the dead-raising topic in the boy's mind.

Setting aside the two pages, he looked up curiously at the sketch and wondered about the identity of the person on paper. No archetype came to mind; the face seemed too ambiguous to give any sort of story.

"My name is Ken." The boy suddenly remembered there was another Ken so hastily added, "Amada. It's nice to meet you, Keman-san."
