This place... it's both like something I've seen before and like nothing I've seen outside of nightmares.  Where is this mansion?  More importantly, how did I get here?  And how do I go home?  This isn't where I'm supposed to be and I have responsibilities at home.

It seems something disturbing happened here recently, as well; residents lost control

W-Wait? S-Still has his ears and tail? Does that mean someone...should be losing them?

[utsusemifighter]

Adult generally do lose them. But Ritsuka had better still have his when I find him!

[steeljournalism]

...W-What? Kids have things like that? I-I don't get it!

[utsusemifighter]

What's so difficult to understand? It's the way things are.

[steeljournalism]

E-Er...not where I come from...

[utsusemifighter]

Aren't things different for many of us here? At least as far as where we come from and what's normal there? I've only been here a day or so and I've already noticed this; have you really not?

[steeljournalism]

Y-yeah...things can be a lot different...you don't notice it at first...but the people you care for aren't here...or at least not for me...and it starts to wear on you...

[utsusemifighter]

They aren't here for me, either, as best I can tell. I'm not sure what my purpose is here if I'm alone.

[steeljournalism]

...its lonely, isn't it? Nobody knows...

[utsusemifighter]

It is. Perhaps I should be used to it, but I'm not. Not any longer. But without a purpose, what do you do here?

[steeljournalism]

...I know the feeling...I used to be used to being alone...but not since I was married... I...really have no idea. I've written a few articles, and read alot...but not much else...

[utsusemifighter]

I was alone a great deal after my parents died, but then lately... It must be very hard to be stolen away from a spouse like that; I'm sorry. Articles? Of what type? And what is there here to read? Are there art supplies here, do you know? I was an art student.

[steeljournalism]

Its fine...I know...she has to be safe...I hope... O-Oh! I'm a journalist! I've been uh...chronicling my time here...

...hmmm...they should...

[utsusemifighter]

I know how that feels; I protect someone as well. And if he's not here, who is there to do it?

That must be interesting. Are there others involved in this publication? Or are you the only journalist?

[steeljournalism]

Yeah...its...bad...

Of course! I work for the Daily Planet...its a Newspaper... My partner and I have done alot of writing over the years...

[utsusemifighter]

It is.

I meant here, actually. Or is this newspaper here? Is your partner also in this mansion?
