[ There’s a bit of scrabbling, like someone has dropped the communicator and is trying to pick it up. And failing a little. ]

Oh. Ow. Hey ...

[ When the video turns on, a second later, the viewers can get a good view of a table. And then slowly the communicator is lifted up and turned around. A young boy, an elementary schooler!?, gives a sort of sheepish smile and a left handed wave. ]

Sorry, that was a lot of dead time. Uh, I'm new. . . I'm not sure there's really a proper greeting for this scenario . . .

I'm Kuronuma Aoba. It's nice to meet you?

Unfortunately.

A cute kouhai shouldn't be exposed to such criminal minds. It's best to just not talk to him. Anyway, that's pretty much all I got. No doubt there's other bad apples, but most people want to go home, so they're working with Shibusen anyway.

[ A slight pause, as if he's turning something over in his head. ]

That makes sense. Otherwise there wouldn't be any reason to stick together, right?

Some people might stick around looking for a way back. But I bet a bunch would just accept this new world and go start their own lives.
