Better.
That was far too easy, though. Yuan seemed all to willing to bring me up to speed on my current predicament. So nice of him to be so welcoming, especially after he betrayed us so completely.
Kratos...I will need to test his loyalty. I wouldn't care for it waning any.
As for others, thus far Lelouch Lamperouge seems to be willing to provide information. And he seems to be so inviting, telling me I can trust him. As if I would truly trust something like him. But for the time being...that illusion of trust will serve me well. And perhaps, in time, so will he. We will have to see.
As for this place...It seems I have figured out the cost that I was charged. I sincerely doubt there is another explanation for why I feel the need to eat and sleep. However, this might actually work in my favor.

[Pause]
Beneficial, perhaps. I despise this cost, however.
