A few of us. [A scoff.] What? You ain't ever seen a cell phone before?

[compete]

Wha--? Hey! [ a huff ] Of course I have! Just not something this fancy, is all!

[castoredux]

You ain't from the city, then. [A pause.] You got a name?

[compete]

[castoredux]

[Just a scoff.] Shinjiro Aragaki.

[compete]

Chie Satonaka. Nice to meet ya'!

Whatever. [A pause.] You just get here?

[compete]

Yeah, just today.

[castoredux]

[A scoff.] Welcome t' Bell Pointe.

[compete]

Th-Thanks? I really appreciate it!

[castoredux]

It ain't a good thing.

[compete]

Yeah, waking up in a place that isn't your home? Never a good thing. But I'm done with freaking out about it and all...

We've all gotta get home, so!

[castoredux]

People who've been here a month don't know shit about this place, so why don't you go get comfy in the house that opened for ya and listen. There's a lot of information on this network, and a lot more in the computer in the back room. There ain't any food, but the credit card'll take care of that.

Get somethin' to eat, keep warm. Somebody'll figure this place out.

[compete]

Okay, okay! I-I will! [ sou much info at once ]
