001 ~ [Voice]

[Raindrops falling from the sky and splashing down into the nearby river can be heard over the journal network. Someone talking very softly to himself can vaguely be heard over the sound of the rain.]

Where is this place...? Ah, there's buildings over there, I wonder if I should go there first...

[There is a pause as the boy in question stops and opens the journal. The the sound of pages turning mixes in with the rain alongside the quiet voice of someone who doesn't seem to realize the audio is turned on.]

Maybe... there's some information about this place in here...?

[Asch's expression change is seemingly mirrored by Ion's. ~~Not everyone is grumpy like you, Asch~~~] ...is something the matter?

[Oh fine, he'll talk.] I didn't expect to see you here, Fon Master.

I didn't expect to wake up here, either.

Have you been here long? [It seemed as though everyone else had been here since forever!]

[...Speaking of that little trend-] Two years as of next month.

Two years...

[Shocked expression is shocked. That's just as long Luke's been here.]

...what has it been like? Being in this place for that long...

It's hard to say. [It has its ups and downs, but he's also significantly less miserable, so...] It isn't the worst place to live, I guess.

[~~Coming from Asch, that must mean this place is paradise!~~]

From what I've heard, many people find good and bad things about it. I only hope the good outweighs the bad, for most...

It's usually peaceful. It's only the experiments that interrupt things. [And ohhh does he ever hate those.]

Anise mentioned something about experiments; just what are those, exactly? She said some hurt more than others, too...

They're always different. They can change our bodies, minds, or our surroundings. Sometimes people get hurt, but most are just annoyances.

To be able to do so much, the ones pulling the strings here must be very powerful. [He'd long come to this conclusion, given he was ~~a zombie~~ brought back from the dead.]

What could anyone possibly gain from this... [Seemed more to himself rather than directed at Asch.]

[There's a lot of people in the same position as Ion, actually.

Asch shrugs, whether it was directed at him or not.] Everyone has been asking that question from the beginning.
