[Lately all Seto can think about is home, probably because he has nothing better to do when laying in his bed. Images of what's left of the cities and small villages flash through his mind. Everything is so dominated by the wildlife he has no idea what it could have been like for those who lived there before...whatever happened to his world.

But it dawns on him, other people must've lived in an alternate Japan right? So why not ask them? It'll give him something to do too so might as well.]

I've heard that some people here are from Japan. A different Japan than other's but they're all similar in some way and I was wondering...what's it like there? Are there a lot of people? Is the red tower special?

[He goes quiet for a moment then lets out a soft, almost sad sounding chuckle] I'm sorry, I'm just a little curious... [A pause] O-Of course I wouldn't mind hearing about other worlds too. Anything is fine..

[Action]

[Once the sun goes down, Seto will be out on the roof of community building three, just laying there to stare up at the stars. To be honest it brings him comfort when he stares at shining lights in the sky. For the past ten years at home, they have been his only company since his grandpa and him never really talked all too much, especially near the end of his life.

In any case, he'll be up there for a good majority of the night, he may even fall asleep]

You're from Japan too, Seto? [He didn't want to just assume even though the boy's name is Japanese.]

Uh huh! [Beaming then a pause while he blinks] You're from Japan, Roji??

Yep! I'm surprised I didn't realize that we came from the same place sooner. I'd been thinking about your world and mine, comparing ghost types and stuff...and I realized they're not as different as I thought.

Still, it's weird to think that we're probably from alternate Japans.

Wow, you're right...we both have ghosts in our versions of Japan. [To be honest this makes him feel a bit happier, to know he isn't entirely alone with that type of stuff. But still his Japan is...]

It's pretty weird to imagine other Japans, isn't it? I wish I could see them...just once.

The types are pretty similar too. They just seem to have their own sets of agendas.

Yeah, same here. [a pause] What's your Japan like, Seto? Aside from the ghosts, of course.

Uh huh!

[And do the question he falls silent for a moment. Of course Roji's Japan is going to be different, even if he has ghosts like him. No other world has gone through hell like his right? At least he has yet to meet anyone who has and he's glad about that, no one should experience what he did]

It's--Well...it's....dead...

Dead...?

[He doesn't like the sound of that at all.]

[A nod even though you can't see it]

Something happened in my world and everyone's..dead...that's why there are so many ghosts...

[Roji's pretty horrified to hear that. He feels guilty for asking Seto about ghosts so much now. But how could he have known?]

I'm really sorry, Seto...

I-It's okay, really! I had grandpa with me for ten years so it wasn't all that bad...

[Put on a smile, right]

If...you don't mind my asking, how did it happen?

To be honest I--I don't know...I can only remember as far back as five years old and even then everyone was already gone... [He never got to know what life was like with people]
