... Hello? Is anyone there?

[A very confused-sounding teenage boy can be heard over the phone lines. He's silent for a few seconds, but he speaks up again, his voice is a little quieter, as if he was talking to someone else

Hi!

[inferior_lady]

[Oh, so the phone lines weren't cut after all! Too bad he thought he got through to the police.] Ah, hello! Am I speaking to a member of the police department?

[hourai_branch]

Nope. He's not going to help anyway.

[inferior_lady]

... What are you talking about? My sister and I have been kidnapped! Of course he'll help us!

[hourai_branch]

Not this police officer. You could say he's corrupt.

[inferior_lady]

Damn... Is there anyone else we can contact? Maybe someone in the next town over?

[hourai_branch]

There is no next town.

This is Mayfield and we've been trapped here. Help.

[inferior_lady]

What do you mean? How can we be trapped here?

... Wait. Other people have been kidnapped too?

[hourai_branch]

Try leaving.

Yup.

[inferior_lady]

How many others have been kidnapped? And do we know why...?

[hourai_branch]

I don't know.

Someone's sick idea of amusement, probably.

[inferior_lady]

... I see. I fail to understand how any of this could be considered amusing, though.

Ah, forgive me for not introducing myself, miss. My name is Shizu Shidou.

[hourai_branch]

I said it was sick.

Kaguya Houraisan.

[inferior_lady]

A pleasure, Kaguya. It's a pity we had to meet on such... strange circumstances.

If you don't mind me asking, how long have you been trapped here?

[hourai_branch]

A few weeks. Others have been here longer.

[inferior_lady]

... How long?

[He's got a feeling he's not gunna like this....]
