[There video opens to a beautiful scene of a sunset at the Fishing District, sky painted in magnificent pinks and oranges that reflect against the pristine ice. A few moments later, a young man's voice accompanies it, tinged with the telltale slurring of someone who's rather drunk.]

Hey, question.

[A pause hangs in the air for a minute, almost long enough that one might wonder if he's gotten distracted or forgotten.]

Did you like your life, before the Storm? [. . .] If the Natha gave you a chance to go back, would any of you stay here?

[Kagari doesn't miss Japan. He doesn't feel homesick. He misses his friends, sure, but he's had more in the past nine months than he did in the twenty-one years before it. But he's starting to feel like the only one.]

Oh no, I could!

I-I'd just-there's some other things I need to do first...like save a lot of money.

...I still do in fact.

But I can do that here too!

[hedonistic]

So it's not really a perk of being here, just a consolation prize, eh?

[dancerefresher]

Well...I guess.

Especially since I don't know the local stories...

[hedonistic]

Huh? Why not just use the stories from home?

[dancerefresher]

Oh, that'd come in eventually, I think.

But-people are drawn in by what they know too right? So I'd have to have a variety. Too new too fast might be...not good.
