Perhaps my stay in this City will not be as terrible as I had initially feared. There are unsolved mysterious here; intriguing puzzles that must be deciphered. Yes...there is much to be done here. Still, I cannot shake this irritating feeling that I am forgetting something.

Ah... Do you think you could quiet down? No one likes a noisy neighbor.

[modern_truths]

My apologies. I'll try to keep the noise at a more bearable level.

[naoto_two]

Thank you.

New?

[modern_truths]

Yes, actually. This is my first day in this building.

[naoto_two]

Welcome, then. I'm Naoto.

I take it everyone's filled you in on the City details?

[modern_truths]

Ichabod Crane. A pleasure to meet you.

Yes, that they have. I'm still getting used to the way things function around this place.

[naoto_two]

It does take a while, but soon, everything seems as if you'd always been used to it. Just ask those who've been here a few months. Some of us have been here for over a year, even.

[modern_truths]

And you, ma'am?

[naoto_two]

Eleven months.

[modern_truths]

You seemed to have settled in quite nicely by the way you speak of things.

[naoto_two]

A lot of people will disagree, but it's better here than home.

[modern_truths]

I'd like to go home.

[naoto_two]

If you're lucky, there'll be an way out. There are people here actively researching exits, but most appear when you least expect it to.

For now, you hunker down and keep your refrigerator well-stocked.

[modern_truths]

Refrigerator? Ah, the cold box...

I'll keep an eye out.
