Can't say I'm a big fan of a tower dragging me off from my already desolate world, but eh. Whatever works. So. Is there any place safe enough for a guy to get a good smoke here? Not really in the mood to trek through dangerous monsters here. ... Right, name's Lindow. Nice to meet you all.

A place with lots of flowers and grace and nice weather.

Oh right. That. Never seen too many of those back home.

Me neither. I remember some in Arcadia, but they were all simulated.

Arcadia, huh? That your home world or somethin'?

No, it's an area of my world that was supposedly a paradise. It was really just a lot of people hooked up to machines.

...That's just-

[Well, messed up. And a lot of other synonyms to that phrase.]

Man, sure am glad there's nothing like that back home.

I'm starting to miss home.

...We all get homesick at times. Especially if you're stuck in a dinky tower which deals emotional breakdowns like candies.

You sound like an oldtimer.

When you've been through a lot of things from your childhood, you tend to pick up a thing or two about surviving.

I can understand that. [No prying.]

Don't think I've got your name, though. What's yours?

It's Aleph. Nice to meet you.

...Aleph, huh? That's a pretty cool name, not gonna lie.

Thanks. That's the first time I've heard someone say that.

There's always a first time for anything!

Lindow's not a bad name either.

...Wow, thanks! Never expected that one :D

I'm being honest.
