( an airy voice comes on, sounding as if still in the middle of a daydream )

So we're on a giant turtle then? The shopkeeper who gave me directions explained it to me...maybe he's Ton-chan's great, great, great, great, grandpa or something! Oh yeah, Ton-chan is a pseudo soft-shelled turtle! His nose looks like a little pig snout.

I wish I could have bought him with me - he would have probably liked to meet umm...what did they call him again...hmmmm.....well, I'll call him Mister Ton-chan for now I guess.

( it cuts off for a few minutes. when it turns back on, it's video now and a very fearful and serious yui can be seen )

Has anyone heard from my friends? Mio, Mugi, Ritsu, and Azu-nyan? Mister Ton-chan is so big and I don't know how I'll find them...( she begins to cry ) I just hope they're okay.

But how come they couldn't come with me too? We always go places together!

( she asks genuinely. she can't explain it but she's a little hurt. )

Sometimes, the process isn't well controlled... [he trails off. Probably not a good idea to use long words.]

Sometimes, there are mistakes. I'm sure they will get fixed.

What are your friends like?

I hope they get to come here too. It's sort of like being on vacation!

Hmm...well there's Mio-chan who's really shy and Riichan who's super energetic. Mugi-chan always has her head in the clouds but is always there to help and serve sweets. Azu-nyan is responsible and she's small and cute, just like a kitten! I love giving her hugs.

( it's nice talking about them. familiar ground is good, but there's still that tone of sadness. )

Uh... vacation or not, you'll be careful out there, right? Most of the people here are friendly, but some are not really happy that we're here, and they can be dangerous. If somebody is giving you trouble, there are people here who try to protect each other, just let people know, using the console, all right?

[He isn't really interested in her friends - he actually asked so that, in case he runs into them, he can recognize them and get them to her. But... he can fake it. (Plus, he sort of asked the wrong question, didn't he.)]

I... see. My name is Damian. If you can't find food or sweets here that you like, I could help.
