 [ There is a new face on the screen, and is the face of a worried child. He will promise you later that he's a fifteen year old male, but that may be up for debate right now. He seems to be having trouble making eye contact with the camera. Eventually, he can be seen pinching his cheek and making a brave effort. ]

Um... Hello there. My name is Shi Yamato, uh. I don't get any of this, but I'm trying...

I'm sorry, I forgot that nice lady's name already. The one who said something about living here for a while? I don't know if it would be a good idea to have me live in a building with a bunch of other people...

Are there tents here? Is there somewhere far away I could set one up? For uh. Reasons? I promise I won't be any trouble, so please don't hurt me yet!

A lot of people have been saying stuff like that...

Hey. This might seem strange to ask, but... Are humans the ruling form of life around here?

[melodiouspacifist]

[He blinks, pausing for a moment.]

You know, I don't know! Maybe? [He grins.] If everyone says that you shouldn't worry about it!

[stillsmiling]

Worrying is something I'm told I do too much...

[He pinches his own cheek and tries to smile properly.]

I don't think I ever got your name, sir... Have you been here a long time?

[melodiouspacifist]

Yeah, everyone should worry less!

[He gets through life by worrying about nothing at all.]

It's Demyx! I've been here for like half a year or something! It's been awhile.

[stillsmiling]

Half a whole year?!

[Maybe some people would sound horrified by this prospect... Shi, on the other hand, actually sounds quite excited.]

Do you think I could be here that long too?! I could have a real life here...!

[melodiouspacifist]

Yeah, probably! A lot of people have been here longer than me!

[He sounds so cheerful, he's not in a hurry to get home either, he understands.]

[stillsmiling]

[There's an eager spark overriding his caution now.]

Then... Wow. Okay! So maybe I should think about living somewhere for real. I-I could even make friends here..!

[melodiouspacifist]

I don't see why not, I made friends! Making friends is pretty cool.

[stillsmiling]

But I'll bet you're really cool and everyone wants to be your friend. I already think you're really nice. I feel less scared, too.

Do you know anything about jobs here?

[melodiouspacifist]

Really? You think so? [He hums thoughtfully.] Well, of course I'm cool!

[No, no he's not.]

Oh, well that's good too, because I'm not trying to scare you. [He looks pleased, it's always good to know he looks like he thinks he does.]

Uhhh, not a lot! I know you have to have one. I play sitar for tips.

[stillsmiling]

You're a musician? That's amazing!

Maybe I can find something to play here. I know how to play a few instruments!

[melodiouspacifist]

I like playing my sitar. You think that's cool? Me too. [He grins.]

Yeah, if you get an instrument, then you can play for tips too!

[stillsmiling]

Maybe! That would be really amazing!

Where did you get your sitar? I guess I'll need to save up money to buy an instrument first... This could be fun! I've never owned an instrument for very long before.

[melodiouspacifist]

I brought it with me, it's also my weapon, but it can't be too bad. The first month you don't have to pay for rent, so buy something instead!

[stillsmiling]

Hehe... I might do that... Thank you so much!

Maybe I can hear you play sometime, and tip you too!

[melodiouspacifist]

I'm usually by the bakery, I hope to see you there!

[stillsmiling]

Definitely! Thanks for meeting me, Demyx!
