[Lion's been fidgeting with this...phone thing for a while now, and finally manages to broadcast his voice—he hasn't figured out the video feature yet because hey he's from the 80's okay and technology.]

Hello? Can anyone hear me? Will...?

What…exactly is this? I’m afraid I don’t quite understand it…I don’t recognize where I am, at all. This definitely isn’t an uncharted area of Rokkenjima, and I know there are several places that I‘m unaware of in the forest… But, no…

I’m certain this is a completely different place altogether, it's far too huge. The climate is so much different, and…this place is actually quite a bit more remarkable than my island.

Besides, I doubt an entire city could fit on my home island. The thought alone is bizarre.

[He puts a hand over his mouth in thought, looking pensive and a bit troubled.]

More importantly, I believe leaving the church should have been impossible. It was...well, I can't quite explain why. Not even I understand it... In any case, I must return there as soon as possible. Someone, anyone, please tell me where exactly I am so that I can make the necessary arrangements to get back to my family.

There is, but the location you came from can't be found.

[Voice]

[oneinamillion]

Ah...

I'm afraid I don't understand. Why can't it be found? It's only across the ocean--Japan is where I should be.

[Voice]

[ridertothemoon]

Japan is there, but if you look for your home, or anyone you know, you'll find other people in their place. So it may as well not be home at all.

[Voice]

[oneinamillion]

I--what? That's absurd!

[Voice]

[ridertothemoon]

It is, but also the truth.

[Voice]

[oneinamillion]

What's the meaning of this?

I don't understand a thing you're saying.

[Voice]

[ridertothemoon]

I'm very sorry - it's just an impossible situation.

[Voice]

[oneinamillion]

I...see.

[But he really doesn't, still. Oh well...what else can he say.]

[Voice]

[ridertothemoon]

Is there anything I can do?

[Voice]

[oneinamillion]

Yes, actually.

I don't know my exact location...is there a place nearby where I can stay? A hotel, or...something of the sort.

[Voice]

[ridertothemoon]

Ah, of course! The Bayview Hotel provides free lodging to newcomers.

[Voice]

[oneinamillion]

Free? That's very kind of the owners.

Could you give me directions?

[Voice]

[ridertothemoon]

[Diiirections.]

It's my duty to be of service to anyone in need.
