Dear Dad.
It's been another month and as much as I'd like to say that I've figured this place out by now that's not really the case. In fact, I think it's become even more of a mystery. Remember the torrential rainfall I mentioned last time? Turns out that was the easy part.
There's plenty of people here, different folks from different worlds. Lots of kids - and I do mean kids, not the legal adults the Army insisted on sending into the war machinery. I've been traveling with two of them for a while now, Isa and Lea. Isa is a little difficult to get to know and we haven't really connected in any way that's worth mentioning yet so there's not much to say about him. Lea on the other hand is a pretty good kid. Easy to shoot the breeze with, you know? He's been showing me the ropes around here, though I'm not entirely sure just what it is I'm supposed to do with them.
You might've noticed the "different worlds" part up there. I wish I was joking but that's the plain truth - whoever's in charge has a knack for pulling people from unexpected places. You could even say they work in mysterious ways and if you don't believe me I have a very vivid memory of talking to Minnie Mouse that'll prove… well, absolutely nothing. I can't help but think that things are exactly as they seem though, as unsettling as that can be. Some guy told me a while back that I looked remarkably like the lead actor in this tv show about a MASH unit in Korea. You'd think it was just an eerie coincidence or really good research but he said some things that makes me think otherwise. Things that doesn't belong in any Army record.
Still don't know what to make of this.
All in all it's not a bad place. I've settled down in a town called Ecruteak for the time being. It's a lot like Tokyo, complete with dancing girls and hot springs so I can't really complain. Beats a triple-shift in the OR any day.
Your loving son

Good day, Johto. Here's a question for you: what do you miss most from home that isn't another person or something you own? I'm talking community property: restaurants, decent transportation, that one place that has a very special place in your hearts…
Additionally: what from here would you miss the most if you left? Again, talking about places and not people.
