[There is someone in the Alchemy district fiddling with his Relic. If you're sneaky enough to look over his shoulder, he's writing something on the notepad function. Something about shiny walls that teleport you to a weird area, the Omega server, and Christmas. It might entirely be fiction, but then Takeshi talks to himself out loud:]

And that's when I blank out... I remember a Christmas event, and then I wake up here with at least half of my previous levels. And there's no way to contact Zero or Amaterasu or Yuuta, unless I try to party invite them, but there are entries missing in my contact list... [a sigh.] No sign of Spin, either.

[Dogs do get curious too, you know! Anyone is free to bother him, and ask him what this is all about.]

Haha, you're right. It's no use thinking of what got us here. Thinking of the way out is much better! [biiig grin! he likes you now.]

Sumire-chan? [hm. should he be telling children about that...] Sumire-chan is someone important to me. She takes good care of me, and gives me baths and feeds me! She's a really great person! [close enough???]

[doingthemistything]

Oh! I'm Kirino Ranmaru, by the way. [His own smile widens in response; it's almost like Takeshi's grin is infectious!]

Ah, I see!

[lookslikemomo]

And I'm Takeshi! Nice to meet you, Ranmaru! [he will call you by your given name and there is nothing you can do about it.]

We should exchange member addresses! [holding up his Relic!]
