In a way, I'm glad that this place pretends that everything is normal. With all the mental stress of dealing with everything, it's good to be able to just pretend that there's nothing wrong from time to time

... So you just want to forget everything? Pretend nothing's wrong? Don't you have anything to go back to where you came from?

[choosemetolive]

Not forget, just... I can't be afraid of the place I live 24 hours a day.

[like_a_romanov]

You don't have to be. Isn't there anything here that can give you hope?

[choosemetolive]

...yes. Yes, there is.

[vector_bitch]

At school? I'm so happy to see so many children continue their education here.

I'm Medusa Gorgon, dear, it's wonderful to meet you.

[choosemetolive]

It's nice to meet you, too, Miss Gorgon. The education is a little different than I'm used to, but if nothing else it's good to have a routine.

[vector_bitch]

I'm sure. And what "mental stress" have you been subjected to, you poor dear...?

[choosemetolive]

How long have you been here?

[rrrrrrrrapetime]

...Mao.

But they better not be expecting me to go to school. I haven't been to one in my whole life. There's no way I'm going to start now~!

[choosemetolive]

They expect it. You don't have to go, but they'll make you go if you don't.

[rrrrrrrrapetime]

They'll make me?

[choosemetolive]

Maybe it's best if you see for yourself.

I've seen you around school often, but I don't think I ever introduced myself. My name is Ryoko Asakura, but here my last name is Engarde. It's nice to meet you, Gasai.

[choosemetolive]

I suppose at the moment, my last name is Kirkland, not Gasai.

[onlyeverabackup]

In that case, would you prefer me to call you by that, or...?

[choosemetolive]

I'd rather use my own name than the one the city gave me.
