[Jansen could not be any happier to wake up in his excessively large bed. He's alone, but that's no problem. The point is, he's home! He excitedly hops out of bed to celebrate what he thinks is his return.]

I... I did it! I made it back somehow! Wow, this is really...

[Hey, the palace sure is empty. No guards, no maids. Nobody! Something

[Have a Russia sitting on the sidewalk, legs out into the street, looking at something between his legs.]

[mortaledingly]

Uhhhh...

[Raises an eyebrow at Russia]

Everything okay down there?

[himawariedingly]

[Looks up, and now you can see a little flower where he had been looking at.]

It is really beautiful

[Not all that special, really. Just a flower on the street.]

[mortaledingly]

[Jansen's eyes widen slightly in recognition]

Oh yeah, I remember you. The flower guy. How's that working out for you?

[himawariedingly]

[DOESN'T REMEBER YOU]

How is what working out for me?

[mortaledingly]

[Headscratch]

You know, your flower... thing. Find any sunflowers?

[himawariedingly]

There are no sunflowers here. But I found this little one.

...Is your house here, too?

[mortaledingly]

Yeah. I never thought I'd say this, but I really do not wanna go back to that place. At least, not the way it is now. There's something about it that's just... creepy.

[himawariedingly]

What happened with it?

[His own one is empty, but he suspected it to be that from the very start. Everyone had left, after all.]

[mortaledingly]

Nothing really happened to the place, but the people... No one's there! Big empty places like that are just too weird.

[himawariedingly]

It shouldn't be empty?

[mortaledingly]

No, it shouldn't. It's a palace! There should be guards, and maids, and... and Ming!

[himawariedingly]

Ming?

[mortaledingly]

The immortal queen of Numara! She also happens to be my, er... my wife. Wow, that sounds weird.

[himawariedingly]

Why does it sound weird?

[mortaledingly]

I don't know, I guess I'm still not used to it yet, you know, being... married. And then I've been here for so long, I'm starting to wonder if the wedding ever actually happened.

[Yeahhh, he feels totally awkward saying words like "married" and "wedding" in reference to himself.]
