[The video feed flickers on. Ikutsuki's sitting at what appears to be his kitchen table, left sleeve of his turtleneck rolled up to display some mild scrapes; it looks as though somebody's had a bit of a tumble!]

It's still absolute chaos out there, even during the daytime. [He shakes his head.] Why, just coming home from work ... well, it wasn't ( Read more... )

I've just been trying to avoid the damn thing. People're getting way too upset 'bout it, considering we don't know how the thing even works.

[A pause as he considers the question of the monsters.] No clue. Same place the Shadows back home went, I figure. Wherever the hell that is. Might just be another time we ain't able to access.

[Some silent, thoughtful moments.]

How many people here know about the Shadows, Shinjiro?

[Man, that question requires thinking.] Us, Hanamura, and Edgeworth, I think. There may've been another kid from Inaba, but I don't remember his name.

Some kid knew About something else called Shadows, but they definitely ain't the same thing.

[Well, they haven't spoken, but he's seen that Edgeworth fellow around; he seems to be the upstanding, responsible sort.]

Then what were the Shadows that this kid referred to?

Something stupid. Heartless, he called 'em. Closest I could figure was they were both monsters, but that was it.

They eat hearts or some shit, and he said a kind've them are called Shadows.

Hearts. Definitely not the same, in that case.

The monsters here are different from the ones at home; I suppose we can't assume they would be the same everywhere.

Yeah, I didn't think so. Weird, though, that all these places've got monsters of their own.

Monsters here don't all seem to have much in common, anyway, other than how they appear and disappear. 'Least a lot've Shadows acted similarly.

Not to mention none of them seem to cause any symptoms with any similarities to Apathy Syndrome. At least here people know they're safe indoors.

Yeah- People attacked here just end up dead or eaten, I think. Doubt that's any better, though. Almost preferred the Apathy Syndrome.

... Did you? Leaving the body behind as an empty shell... nothing to live for ... why, it's a fate almost worth than death itself.

...They got better, though, didn't they? Yeah, going through that'd be godawful, but 'least they wouldn't've lost everything in the crossfire.

It's difficult to survive when you have no motivation to eat.

...Yeah. Seen enough've them to know.

Indeed. Well, regardless, I'm glad that doesn't happen here.
