Hey! This smartphone totally isn’t making any sense-- there aren’t any numbers on it! I can only post a message onto this one place…

Okay, so assuming that there are actually people in here somewhere, where the hell am I? I’m not cool with this empty creepy haunted palace thing, so there better be a good explanation for all this! Because I’ve got

Looks like the mansion found another new resident.

[masukukunai]

Resident?

[In the mopiest, woe is me voice you've ever heard. Yousuke is the most complainingest teenager.]

[wings_of_vanth]

You're stuck living here with the rest of us for now. You can use the communication device you found to talk to other people living here.

[masukukunai]

Great. Just peachy.

[wings_of_vanth]

You'll be fine, at least until the next 'event'.

[masukukunai]

Okay, you can't just leave that hanging there. 'Event'?

[wings_of_vanth]

Every few weeks, the mansion changes itself based on the experiences of one of the people trapped here. Sometimes it's fun, but sometimes it's pretty dangerous.

After a few days, things will return to how they are right now, but the person it chose will forget some of their memories.

[masukukunai]

That...

[That actually sounds a lot like the TV world.]

Seriously? Like change change? Like it looks totally different?

[wings_of_vanth]

[A nod.] Something always changes. If it's not the mansion itself, it's something inside of it.

[masukukunai]

Okay... Uh.

This is a lot at once.

[wings_of_vanth]

You get used to it. [Well, he did. He forgets not everyone's truly accustomed to change. Especially weird, otherworldly ones.]

[masukukunai]

I'm getting that vibe.

...Hey, I guess. I'm Yousuke Hanamura.

[wings_of_vanth]

Akihiko Sanada.

[masukukunai]

More Japanese, huh?

[wings_of_vanth]

Actually, there are a lot of different people here, and somehow we can all understand each other.

[masukukunai]

I was kinda wondering about that. No explanation?

How long've you been here, Sanada-san?
