[sudden staticky exhalation]

Wait a minute, what do you mean "hero"? You can't just go around dragging people away from where they're supposed to be and making them police your city!

[a reply, male, too muffled to make out specific words]

This just… it shouldn't be allowed! Send me back, send me back right now! And don't you look down at me like that! …yes, I know you're six feet tall and I'm not--

Huh? This thing? It's on? What's it even do, anyway? Hey! Owch! Stupid thing!

It's been really helpful since coming here, since I'm behind a few years from everything, but most of these things were already in Japan before. Even the trains here are behind, some of the above ground ones are probably at the speed you're more used to!

Waaaaaait, those awful things get faster?

And there are ones that go [gulp] under the ground?

You get used to them. [[you can almost hear the smile in his voice]] And the underground ones too, that's the subway. It's probably the best way to get around here.

How does the city not fall on them and crush them until they're flatter than a dried persimmon?

They put up a lot of supports, like they do for bridges! And they don't dig out too much of the underground.

I see, I guess. Still sounds weird, but...

Oh! Bakura, do you speak English? I hear people mostly speak English here.

Aah, un. I'm not perfect in it, but I've done well enough so far here!

I don't speak it at all. Do you know where I could go to learn it?

Mm, someone said they were going to start up a group for Japanese speakers, but she hasn't finalized it yet.

I could try and teach you some if you'd like.

Yeah, I'd like that. Maybe we could get together sometime, once we're both settled in a little more?

Un! I'd like that a lot!

Awesome. All right, I'm going to turn this thing off now.

...how do you turn these things off?

Aah, I think it's the larger button, the glowing one.

Wait, this one--?
