What's going on?
Where...am I? This place doesn't look like the Yuriev Institute...did something go wrong in the simulator? I woke up in a weird room...it sort of looks like our room, but it's different. Outside my window, I can see a big machine sitting on the ground. It has a window in the front, but I can't see into it. It looks dangerous, though...I hope it isn't...this all seems kind of familiar. Maybe I've been here before, but I don't really remember it. Well, I guess if I'm not scared of it, then it's not a bad place. I always remember things I'm scared of.
I...think I'll go look around, maybe. Or I'll look outside. If we're still in the simulator, then...I shouldn't, because of U-DO, and if the Standards are here, they could become infected like last time, and...that was so bad. But if I'm in a normal place, then everything should be okay, right? Maybe I can find Rubedo...he usually sleeps in our room with Nigredo and me, but I don't see him anywhere, or Nigredo. That...that's not right, is it?
Rubedo? Are you there?
Nigredo?
Even Citrine?
...Anyone?
Rubedo, have you already...already left me? Am I alone? I...I don't want to be alone...
