[Ken appears on the network, a frown on his face.]

There's a very dangerous girl running around here. Her name is Minami Arisato. She's out of control. She killed me. I don't know why I didn't stay dead, though...

[He can play the innocent kid card right now. It'll work to his advantage, anyway. To everyone's advantage.]

[He sways a little, and takes a deep breath, clutching his head.]

Nemesis... no. Stop... it hurts...

[He mashes the buttons, finally turning it off.]

I have seen a great number of strange things in my lifetime - I doubt one more shall cloud my judgment of a person who has thus far been entirely coherent.

Especially in this place.

... My Persona. Nemesis. She's... angry and loud and she's usually a lot more controlled than this.

[Is this how the others were? It's pretty terrible... no wonder they need pills.]

'Persona'...?

[She repeats, testing the word.]

Like... a spirit of some sort? Has she ever been upset like this before?

Sort of. A Persona is like... a mask. Supposedly it's a reflection of your true self.

[... He shakes his head.]

The others sometimes have theirs out of control like this, but not me...

I see...

[Sort of. She's trying, at least.]

Have you been in this place long? Perhaps it is the tower's doing.

No, not really. Less than a week, I think.

... I would wager it has something to do with the tower, then. If she was not like this when you first awoke, then it is likely her anger will subside eventually.

[A sigh. Why must they toy with the children as well?]

I am not sure if you have been told, but... this place enjoying playing sadistic games with us.

I was told that, yeah.

Hopefully she'll calm down soon. She keeps... calling for vengeance.

That sounds... unpleasant.

[Really, really unpleasant.]

I am afraid you may have been right about my inability to aid you in a more substantial way. ... Unless she can be soothed by music, perhaps, I am unsure of any way to calm her.

[Regretfully. Sometimes, it feels like she's never useful when it really matters.]

... You said that there were others with this problem. Do you know if any of them are here?

No, I don't think so.

[He has the same feeling. :( ]

... They are. I'm not sure where I can find them, though.

[It's not a nice feeling, is it. ;n; But she smiles slightly, trying to be reassuring.]

I am sure they will see this post and recognize your symptoms. You shall have real aid soon enough.

[... He nods, trying to think of what to say next.]

... I'm Ken, by the way.

Oh!

[Zelda, you always forget to introduce yourself. Way to go.]

It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Ken. I am Zelda, Princess of Hyrule.

[... Wat.]

A... princess?

[Seriously? Uh...]

I... don't know where Hyrule is.

[What, you're acting like this is out of the ordinary, Ken.]

Ah, yes.

[Aaand she's smiling a bit awkwardly again, because whoops, she didn't mean to make him uncomfortable.]

That is all right. It... matters little here, I suppose. I have been told of lands entirely unfamiliar to me as well during my time here.

[She still thinks 'England' is a silly name for a country, okay.]

I guess. I'm from Japan... but if Hyrule isn't a place I know about, Japan probably isn't a place you know about...

... No, I cannot say I am familiar with the land of 'Japan'. Perhaps, once you are feeling better, you would tell me about it?

[Always curious.]

Sure, why not? I haven't been around all of it, but I've been around my area of it enough.

I shall look forward to it, then.
