[Fumbles with the communicator for a few moments before figuring out the audio option]

Ah, I think that's it... H-hello? Can anybody hear me? There was a note saying I should use this... I don't know who left it or why, but if anyone's listening to this, can you please tell me what happened? I'm not really sure how I got here in the first place,

Hey, you're back!

[puppified]

[What was your name, again...? Oh, right] Fuuma-san?

[Wait, what?] What do you mean? I've never been to this place before.

[justahunter]

Fuuma, right.

Eh, I guess you don't remember, then. Or it was different you-- but, anyway, 'you' were here for a while, and vanished a few weeks ago. [The other you changed into a monster and kicked my ass. Though I'm going to spare you that detail.] People going away and coming back without memories of their first time here happens a lot in this place.

[puppified]

[............ what]

Is... Is that why people recognized me?

[justahunter]

Yup. Like I said, it happens a lot. Most people'll understand if you explain you can't remember this place.

Speakin' of which, you still stick outside?

[puppified]

Yes. I think Fay-san's coming over.

[justahunter]

Good. He's been here longer than me, so he should know his way around the city.

Let me know if you need any help, though.

[puppified]

Thank you.

[justahunter]

Not a problem.

[puppified]

How long have you been here? If you don't mind me asking...

[justahunter]

Let's see... I've been here just under three months, now. I think the 25th or 26th of this month is the mark.

[puppified]

[Huh D:]

Where were you before that?

[justahunter]

I can tell you, but you mind me asking you where you were, first? It'll make it easier to explain. [That is, he wants to make sure you're the first Syaoran he saw, and not the one that was there afterward.]

[puppified]

I was in a country named "Tokyo".

[justahunter]

Right. People don't always come from the same time, here. So even though you remember Tokyo, one of your friends might not have been there yet, or be from months or year after you left.

From my perspective, you guys had already showed up, found what you were looking for, and left. I left that world, too, and about a year later -- for me, I don't know how long it was for you guys -- I met up with your group again in Nihon. The place the big guy with black hair -- Kurogane, right? -- is from.

[puppified]

Yes, that's-- [o_o]

We were able to go to his country?
