[When the video turns on, it's pointing to the side, where there's a man slouched again the stone wall, a cigarette hanging from his lips. He breathes in deeply, and then lets it out slowly, holding the cigarette between two fingers.]

Pretty crowded for a place that needs life brought to it.

[Says absently as he continues to people watch, and he taps off some ash, bringing it back up to his lips and sucking in, the ember burning.]

I have a few things I need to know. First, I'm looking for a little girl, brown hair, pigtails. The maid said new people are arriving every day, and they're being sent to all these different houses. So I'm asking if anyone has seen my daughter. Her name is Nanako Dojima. She's seven years old.

[He glances into the communicator.]

If you see her, tell her to stay where she is, or head over to the Heimdall House. That's where I'll be. Second, if you meet a bunch of kids from Yasoinaba, Japan, tell them Souji's uncle is looking for them. [More smoking.]

Third, could use some more cigarettes. Anyone who has any extra... I'd appreciate it.

They might be. If those stories are true about gods and their tempers, they're not the best at policing their world.

[He'll find out where he's staying. He always does find out where everyone is, after all.]

I'm not staying here long. And neither are you. We have enough business to take care of back home.

But it's not like there's any way back. That creepy maid said so herself. What if you spend all this time looking for a way back only to discover there really is none?

So you're saying we should just give up because some maid told us there's no way back?

No, but where would we even start? It's not like we can just drive back, even if we had a car.

We all ended up in that room, right? We go back and get them to talk.

Dojima-san, are you really sure you want to do this? [Even as he asks, Adachi knows what the answer is going to be, but asking the question isn't entirely pointless, either.] Who knows what the gods will do if you start harassing them for a way to get home.

Maybe if we bother them enough, they'll send us back. Worse thing they can do is kill us, right?
