[the voice that speaks is slightly off; it's as though the speaker is trying to get used to the sound of his own voice. which, of course, Nagi is.]Well

Eh?

[Nagi. That name and voice seem awfully familiar, but she can't seem to place it anywhere.]

[stephen_owling]

Excuse me? Is someone there?

[candypl0x]

[Now that she actually thinks about it, the voice wasn't so familiar, but the name's still familiar.]

Uh-huh!

[stephen_owling]

Er... hello! I don't know if you heard me before, but my name is Nagi. What's yours, young miss?

[candypl0x]

Shiro's name is Shiro.

[stephen_owling]

What? I know that voice... Shiro? You're Ganta's friend Shiro, aren't you?

[candypl0x]

Yes~! ...Have you seen Ganta? [Sounding so hopeful]

[stephen_owling]

He is the last thing I remember seeing before I woke up here. As were... you, actually.

...Do you remember what happened?

[candypl0x]

Umm...

Shiro only remembers being on ground and Ganta crying...and bitter candy.

[stephen_owling]

Mmm.

I tried to hurt you, Shiro. Ganta, too. I am... very sorry about that. Please, forgive me.

[candypl0x]

It's okay! Doesn't hurt anymore. It was long time ago.

[stephen_owling]

What? That... doesn't make sense. It just happened, right before I woke up just now. How long has it been for you?

[candypl0x]

Maybe a month? There were masks and Ganta got in big trouble.

[stephen_owling]

A month? But it feels like I was just...

Wait. Shiro. How long have you been here, in Mayfield?

[candypl0x]

Four...five...six... Six months!

[stephen_owling]

...Well. I think I need to sit down.

So. It's been maybe a few hours for me... and seven months for you.

That can't be possible. Can it?
