[When the feed starts up, there's a view of Neige sitting on the edge of a bed; seems she's already gotten settled into her new apartment. She looks rather well despite all the confusion of the past day, and greets whoever's watching with a smile.]

Good afternoon. I just got here not too long ago, so sorry if the question I'm about to ask is painfully obvious...

But for anyone who's familiar with the major media outlets here, how does one get into contact with them? I was a journalist back home, so I'm looking for a way to put my skills to good use while I'm here. I'd be grateful for any information on this.

[She seems to be ready to shut off the video there before it looks like she's hit with a reminder of something else to say. Then there's a bit of internal debating on actually saying it, where her smile goes away. But since she's already hesitated to shut off the video for a few seconds....might as well.]

...And, Zero? If you're watching this, anyway. I need to speak to you again, whenever you can.

[With that out of the way, the feed ends.]

And that was censored by the government? [Neige's expression seems to ask the obvious next question for her: 'Why?']

I'm not sure why. I'm not sure if it was even them, really.

[A few minutes later, a simple text link to the post in question will pop up. Obviously, it is still messed up.]

[Neige will spend a moment looking over this post for herself, obviously still concerned.]

Thanks for the link.

[Then, half to herself, she grumbles:] Of course they'd bring us here against our will and then only enforce a convenient truth on us...

The government actually isn't responsible for us being here. They're just... making the best of it, I suppose. Or exploiting us, depending on how you want to look at it...

They aren't?

... They're still acting suspiciously either way, seems like.

Philemon, the... "entity" is probably a good way to put it..., is kind of strange.

Someone else claimed that Philemon is humanity, and I'm not sure what I think about that yet.

[She'll just silently agree with Neige with regards to the government there.]

Philemon is...humanity?

[...Yeah, Neige's expression probably makes it clear that she's not sure what to think about that either.]

I don't think I really understand it either.

If we understood, then it'd all be 'too easy' for us, now wouldn't it?

Well, thanks for the information anyway. I'm Neige...and I don't think I caught your name?

Io Nitta.

Io Nitta...nice to meet you. Though sorry it had to be in these circumstances.

It's fine. I wasn't myself for a while not too long ago.

'Weren't yourself'? What do you mean?

...I kind of went crazy kidnapped my boyfriend.

["Kind of?"]

["Kind of??"]

W-why?

Some weird Zodiac thing. There was nothing I could really do about it...

...I don't understand. What 'Zodiac thing'? [Neige is just filled with questions, it seems.]

It might take a while to explain... Are you unfamiliar with the zodiac itself, or do you just need to know what happened?

Well, I know about the 'zodiac' as in 'star signs'. Is this in any way related to that, or...?

It is. Everyone in the city that is a Taurus lost control of their mind.
