[Nagito can be seen somewhere outside, based on the background it was most likely a cafe.]

Ah! There it goes. That wasn't hard at all.

[For a new arival he was pretty laid back and relaxed about it all.]

I think I have a good idea of what's going on, but I hope no one minds if I still ask a few questions of everyone.

[He shifted his arms to position the phone a bit better.]

From what I understand everyone with one of these, [He uses his free hand to lift the pendent up. His was mostly yellow with flecks of blue and red in it.] is "real" and abducted to this world. That's quite amazing when you think about it! I never expected in my whole life to experience such a fantasy like event.

But, moving on. I was curious about everyone else here. What sorts of places and states did you come from? Also, how do you feel about this place? Is there a motive behind being here? Surely there is a purpose, otherwise why go through the trouble? It must be a lot of trouble to punch a hole through to another world as well, so there must be some sort of goal involved.

Ah, but don't worry if you don't know, I'm mostly just talking to myself.

Oh, I suppose I should introduce myself. My name is Komaeda Nagito, I look forward to meeting and speaking fellow abductees.

[He smiled softly and raised a hand in a friendly wave.]

I was kidnapped to a tropical island school trip.

[Though his tone made it sound like it wasn't a big deal.]

[Crystal's eyebrows furrow.]

Can I ask more about what happened?

Let's see, first they took away our school memories, and then they put us all in a mutual killing game.

That doesn't sound like fun.

[His inflection is misleading.]

Why did they do this?

I'm not exactly sure. There were two different groups involved. What I do know was that there was a traitor among us, and that traitor was part of one group called the Future Foundation.

But, it doesn't really matter, it all ended, especially for me.

What do you mean?

[People here like to keep out details that might otherwise be obvious if Crystal had been from the same place as them.

It's something she noticed.]

[Sadly he was the sort to keep out details from everyone. Even the people he knew from his world didn't understand him or get what he meant most the time.]

Oh, that my part in the game ended. Considering the kind of game it was I assume the conclusion is obvious.

I see, I'm sorry.

[He doesn't seem all that broken up about it.]

There's no reason to be sorry. I had complete control over my own outcome.

It's still a rather unfortunate situation but I see you're taking it in stride.

My life isn't as exciting.

In general, to live in interesting times is considered a curse. So you're most likely quite fortunate.

I think so.

[She smiles.]

I like my unexciting life.

Quiet life really is the best.

I agree.

[She looks to her right and then frowns.]

I'm sorry to cut our conversation short but I need to get ready for work. Maybe we can talk more over coffee sometime?

[Crystal's interested in his story.]

Of course, don't let me hold you up. And I wouldn't mind that at all.

I'll see you later then.
