[Ganta's sitting on his bed, holding the device in one hand. He's enjoying the fact that he can wear regular street clothes instead of his prison jumpsuit.]

I've talked to a lot of people who knew me when I was here before. If there's anyone else who did, that I haven't talked to, can you please introduce yourselves? [Sheepish grin.] I don't have

Elaine Belloc!

[He laughs.] You don't count, I've already met you!

[Video]

[demiurgos_girl]

Yeah, I know. It's just so good to have you back.

[rookie_deadman]

We should hang out more now that I am.

[Seimei hesitates to speak to Ganta. They haven't spoke much but he had been willing to help and Seimei stopped him doing what should have been done. However that's not the point of this.]

We've talked a little bit in the past. I don't know anything about your collar. My name is Aoyagi Seimei. I have a brother, Ritsuka.

[Private Voice]

[rookie_deadman]

It's nice meeting you, Aoyagi-san. I don't think I've met your brother yet.

It's okay if you don't know about the collar. I've got enough candy for a couple weeks, so there's not a big rush.

[Private Voice]

[two_in_eden]

He's probably hiding himself. I'll have to find him later. Ritsuka is a kind child, if you have the chance to meet him.

It's probably best you don't remember everything that's happened in this place. After a while it wears on your mind.

[Private Voice]

[rookie_deadman]

Is he okay? I don't want to bother him, but if I see his posts on the network, I'll introduce myself.

I do wish I could remember the people I knew before, but you're probably right about the rest of it. Ivanova-san said something about having acid for blood, and that sounds really shitty.... But...I kind of feel that way about my home, too.

[azureflamegod]

Ah, Ganta! I did not notice you had returned!

...Ahh, but you do not remember...? [sad AI is sad :c but he gets over that fairly quickly. There is assistance to be given!]

I am Kite of the Azure Flame, it is nice to meet you again. I was able to remove your collar using Data Drain the last time you were here. Would you like me to try it again?

[video]

[rookie_deadman]

It's nice meeting you, Kite-san.

You really removed it? I didn't even think that was possible... I'm not really sure what "data drain" is, but if you could try again, I'd be grateful.

[azureflamegod]

'Data Drain' is the ability to alter data... in this world, it is possible to alter physical objects. Disabling your collar is not difficult. Ahh, I will just reuse the same settings as before...

If you will be harmed if it is left unaltered, I will make sure it is safely disabled again.

[rookie_deadman]

Thank you, Kite-san! That'll be better than...well, in case candy's hard to get here, or something.

If there's anything I can do in return, please tell me.

[alwaysaboom]

I know we talked before, but you had managed to remove the collar when I first met you. What does it do?

[rookie_deadman]

Kite-san said he was able to remove it last time.

It injects me with poison. Without candy, after three days I'll die.

[alwaysaboom]

Candy that cures poison? What is it, insulin?

And why? You can't be 15 yet...

[rookie_deadman]

I'm not actually sure what's in it. We just call it candy because it's wrapped like it.

I'm fourteen actually... It's the death penalty at Deadman Wonderland.

[jesusing_clown]

[Wait what's this about dying] What's that collar, Ganta?

[rookie_deadman]

All of us in Deadman Wonderland had one. It carries out the death penalty.

[jesusing_clown]

[D:] What? Can you get it off?

[rookie_deadman]

[Avoiding answering the "what" part. /o/] Kite-san said he'd help me take it off. He did it last time I was here, he said.
