[The feed turns on to show a teenage boy sitting on a bed in some sort of house and an Eevee curled up happily by his side. Man, it sure is a good thing that he managed to find some temporary shelter from the snow...

As he begins to speak, he looks a bit flustered.]

Hi, um... My name is Hajime Hinata. I'm a student from Hope's Peak Academy in Japan, and I just arrived here a little while ago.

[Like anyone cares where he's from... but it just felt right to say for some reason. He pauses for a moment as he tries to figure out what to say next.]

I guess... we're all stuck in the Pokemon world now? It's weird... I haven't played the games in years, but I'm pretty sure that the starting town was supposed to be Pallet Town. Actually, I was looking at the map earlier and none of the towns seemed familiar at all. But I guess I could just be remembering wrong...

Oh, and also...

[He shifts the camera's view to the window where a red-nosed Stantler can be seen some distance away, seemingly beckoning to a group of people standing nearby.]

Since when did Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer become a Pokemon?

[No really he's confused here.]

[ Nanami learned pretty fast when no less than three people used it on her when she got here.

Shockingly, some of their not-classmates are pretty suspicious and cagey. ]

...No. That...wasn't something I knew. I know who was behind the first games, but that person...shouldn't exist any longer. My best guess is that they had a plan in place for that eventuality...

...What I told the others was about the nature of that place and myself.

Oh... I see...

[Should he just tell her right now, then? Or should he let her find out on her own? Hinata isn't sure which option is the best one to pick... Well, the second one would certainly be the best one for him, but at the same time it'll feel like he's betraying her trust if he doesn't say anything now. But would that interfere with their timelines and shit if he does?

He remains so deep in thought about the whole thing that he actually falls completely silent without really realizing it.]

...If you don't want to talk about it, that's okay, Hinata-kun.

[ It's not like she'll force the issue, certainly. And if there's anything that's true here, it's that she does trust all of her classmates. Even the ones who were executed. Even now, there isn't any real accusation or suspicion in her tone.

That "game", that mockery of a game...

...well, it wasn't easy for anyone, was it? ]

I'm just glad you all found a way out of the New World Program. That you lived.
