[It had been a few days since Kaname arrived in Luceti, feeling more than a little disorientated and confused. He'd been convinced it was all a dream until he woke up again the next day, his back still sore from those wings.]

[The voice that sounds out from the journal might sound a tad more distressed than he usually would. You would be too if you suddenly found yourself in another world with no one you knew! Not that he'd want to subject his family and friends to this place, if everything that guide says is true. Experiments, a war, people with mysterious powers... it'd be a lie to say it wasn't a little exciting, but for the most part, he's just worried about what'll come next.]

[And whatever that was going to be, he couldn't shake the feeling that it'd be best not to try and face it all on his own.]

This may or may not be a longshot, but is there anyone else here from Japan? ...er, on earth. [...] And it was 2010 when I left, but I guess people can come from different times even if they know each other, right? [He taps the journal a few times and makes a face. It is recording, right...? Awkward pause.]

...sorry, I'm still trying to figure out how all this works. So, does pressing this make it sto--

[The voice cuts off.]

Mm... [One of said senpai has never met him in person, but details...]

I haven't seen that many adults, actually! They are around though, so there's no need to worry about that.

I don't know if it's something to worry about... [He probably sounds a little relieved.] It just seems kind of weird. Do you wonder if it's intentional?

Eh? Well... I guess keeping out adults would make forming resistance a little more difficult?

You think so? [That would make sense, if they were brought here just to be experimented on. But wasn't there a war or something? ...it was still too much to take in.]

I guess that puts us at a disadvantage then. Especially if they're really capable of... everything that guide says they are.

Mm... Though, given the things they can do, it shouldn't really be necessary to begin with, right...?

That's a good point... maybe they're just worried about it? Or it really is a coincidence...

It might also have something to do with the type of experiment they're trying to run here... ah, it's pretty difficult.

It really is. I've spent the past few days just trying to wrap my mind around everything...

...by experiment, do you mean those-- shifts that happen every so often? Or something else.

The shifts are one thing, yes, but I can't help but feel that us all being here in the first place is an experiment in itself? If that makes sense.

...yeah, I think I get what you mean. It does kind of make sense. I don't really know what they could learn from experiments that just do the things that guide mentioned...

[Like turning people into girls. What. What.]

[But then he and Natsume could embrace their love for each other!]

Uh... our behaviour, maybe? Like a social experiment?

[U N S U R E...]

I guess that makes sense, even if it is still a weird way to go about things.

But I guess everything in this place is kind of weird. Wings, experiments, magic... I'm still not sure I'm not just dreaming.

[ ( C O Z Y ) ]

I felt that way too, for a while! It's a lot to take in, so don't worry if it's a little difficult at first. Is there anything about this place you'd like me to tell you?

Thanks. [At least the people here are nice! :> It's a bit of a comfort, even if dealing with people he doesn't know is a little out of his usual comfort zone.]

Actually, is there anything else you could tell me about these shifts? The guide gave a few examples, but I'm still not sure what I should be expecting... they happen every few weeks, right?

That's how they work, yes, but there's not really much else in common with them other than that... there've been shifts where the landscape changes, and then there've been shifts that make people fall in love...

Fa...

Fall in love?

[WHAT KIND OF SCIENTISTS.....]

M-mm... yeah. It was a little embarrassing, to be honest. [RABU-RABU SCIENTISTS?]

It... sounds that way... [And it was probably best not to ask more about it, if that's the case.]

But how do they do things like that? Is it like something they put in the water? [Please say no because that implication is mildly horrifying.]

[Worry not, the truth is even more so!]

A-actually, the only way I could describe it would be to say 'it just happens'. I didn't even realise anything had happened until afterwards. ... Up until then, I was convinced I was in love with someone else.

That's...

[RADIO SILENCE FOR LIKE A MINUTE you broke his brain.]

...and stuff like this... happens all the time?

[THE POWER OF RABU.]

Not that sort of thing, really? That's... rarer.

That's... a relief. I think.

[...rabu...]

Does that mean I won't even know there's been a shift until after one's over with?

It depends a lot, really. We had a shift where the moon began... falling, and I think everyone realised it was happening... [do you understand rabu, tanumoe.]

[Why can't he hold all this rabu...]

The moon was falling? [Okay, putting aside the who how is that even possible aspect of things:] What happened when it... landed?

[all of this rabu is just too much...]

It... went back to how it is before. We all just woke up in our beds the next morning.
