003 [Ryou]
Settling in was easier than I expected, though it really shouldn't have come as a surprise. After Amane and Mother died, Father and I moved around a lot for his job; I got really used to assimilating to new environments. This city is hardly like London or Tokyo or New York, though: Spiral is the only place I've ever been where walking through a door can transport you halfway across town.
Malik-kun is still the only familiar face that I've seen here. I know that it's a good thing that Yuugi-kun and his friends haven't come, but I'm still feeling rather lonely here. Making friends has never been a strong suit of mine, and losing them all at once has been a bigger blow than I'd like to admit.
We've found quite a few things in the shops down there. It makes me quite suspicious, to be perfectly frank. I wonder if there were people here before us, or this was all set up as an elaborate trap, or something else completely. We all might be dead, though if this is hell I'd quite like to know what I did wrong.
He keeps telling me not to worry, that he won't let us get killed. I suppose I should put enough faith in his feelings of self-preservation to trust him on that one. He's asleep right now, luckily, so I don't have him making snarky comments at everything that I type.
He's not nice to me, and I don't think that he's ever going to be. But he's been a lot better lately. At least I've stopped waking up in the middle of the street, at three o'clock in the morning, with all sorts of bruises on me and with no clue how they got there. Maybe it's because Yuugi isn't here. He doesn't have any Sennen items to go after, which is most definitely helping.
I still have the scars on my chest from when he introduced himself to me, though. I'm almost positive that they'll be there for the rest of my life.
