[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.]

[The people Ren's heard about waking up the longest time ago have all said about a year, so he's guessing that would be the maximum here. But he's nowhere near that patient...]

That's a long time. A lot of the people I've talked to said they've only been awake for a year or less, though.

[hedonistic]

meh, thats nit so bad

[But then, Kagari spent fifteen years in an isolation facility, so his sense of time is a lil bit skewed.]

Well, if it's a matter of luck, then who knows?

[It could be shorter. It could also be much, much longer.]
