[As understood by Japanese-speakers:]

They trap us in our bedrooms, they kill us over and over, they act like nothing ever happened.

If an explanation exists to describe the logic of this place, I don't know what it is.

[As understood by everyone else:]

やつらは我々を寝室にこませ、何回殺せ、それで何もしなかったこととして勤める。

この町との論理の説明があれば、私は分かることが出来ない。

[For those of you who

[holdtheturkey]

[Ah, have your new husband |D Unfortunately, he's speaking Greek]

Ah! You speak Japanese!

[immortal_smoke]

[I have a new husband what I sure am paying attention

Does he know Japanese?]

何？
(What?)

[Greek]

[holdtheturkey]

[Haha yes! Brand new though so don't worry 8D

He can recognize it's Japanese but he can actually only understand little bits and pieces that he was taught]

I like Japanese a lot.

Konnichiwa. [He sounds really proud when he says it, too]

[immortal_smoke]

・・・こんにちは。

それは何の言葉だろう？聞いたことがないな。

(...good afternoon.

What language is that? I've never heard it.)

[Greek]

[holdtheturkey]

[He's happy about the greeting, but frowns at the rest]

... I can't understand all of that. Gomen nasai.

[immortal_smoke]

はあ。

私の新しい「主人」ですか？

(Huh.

Are you my new husband?)

[Seeing his incomprehension, she picks up a framed photo from the counter, showing the two of them from their prom night back in high school. Not that it happened, of course, but they sure look happy together. She shows it to Greece.]

これ、分かる？

(Do you understand?)

[holdtheturkey]

Ahh...Japan never taught me these words.

[he looks down at the photo, fairly confused by their funny clothes but seems to understand what she's saying]

Yes, that! We're family now? [frowns a moment and then points at himself in the picture]

わたしは　「ギリシャ」！

I am Greece.

[immortal_smoke]

[Well, he seems to understand. And know a LITTLE Japanese. Might as well be polite.]

ギリシャって・・・はじめまして。

(Greece? Nice to meet you.)

[She bows.]

私は藤原の妹紅。妹紅です。

(My name is Fujiwara no Mokou. I'm Mokou.)

[holdtheturkey]

[he nods, although he still thinks his name sounds kind of funny in Japanese]

はじめまして!

If I practice my Japanese a lot, I can talk to Japan when I get home.

[listens intently to her introduction] Fuji...wara. No. Mo-ko-u. Mokou?

[immortal_smoke]

妹紅。

(Mokou.)

[The silence, it is awkard.]

[holdtheturkey]

[tries again, probably still has a bit of a Greek accent to it, but hey] Mokou.

[scratches his head a bit] Why can't anyone speak Greek anymore, I wonder.

Ah, that's right. I can say some more.

日本好き。

[immortal_smoke]

そうか・・・日本に行ったことある？

えっと・・・日本・・・行く？

(I see... have you been to Japan?

Uh... Japan... go?)

[holdtheturkey]

Ah, hmm......Nihon.....i..ku. Kiku? [brightens up a little and nods his head]

ともだち。　日本　and ギリシャ。　

Man there is no way this idea is getting conveyed properly

[immortal_smoke]

ともだち？って、日本に住む人？

(Friend? You mean, you have a friend in Japan?)

XD; tragically

[holdtheturkey]

[blinks at her. Man, this was frustrating, even for him who takes almost everything leisurely]

日本は...ギリシャ ともだち.

[frowns. That was awkward even for him, but he hooks his index fingers together] Good relationship.

Oh wait here we go

[immortal_smoke]

[Oh, wait. She's heard about this before.]

そういえば、ギリシャさんはそんな国人？シーランドのよう？

(Do you mean you're one of those country-people? Like Sealand?)
