[The video feed clicks on, and at first, you might mistake the person on screen to be a dirty mop, what with the long messy strands of brown hair hanging down from his head. But on second glance, no, there's a face underneath all that, and it doesn't look that happy.]
W-why am I here? Again?! I didn't ask anybody to be here, this is not what I wanted, this is really, really, not good at all!!!
[And he murmurs and shakes his head, looking down at the ground as it he is wishing it could open up and swallow him right then and there.]
...
Yeah. Um. So...my name's Sam. Sam Erstwhile. I was here before, and then I was back home...and I guess I'm back here again. I don't know. So, really, you don't need to tell me about the whole Persona thing, I know about it. I still don't understand why in the world they would choose me to be here again...I'm no one special. Really, I'm not.
[A sigh.]
Erm, so has anything changed recently that I need to know about? Same old, same old? No crazy other-world field trips or the like? I don't think I could deal with another other-world field trip, the last one was horrible...

No more field trips. Just the usual kind of crazy. Welcome back!
[Video]
[A slight frown.] Yeah...welcome back, indeed. You've still been here since after I left?
[Video]
[Not that he sounds particularly upset about this state of affairs.]
[Video]
[A pause.]
Still as cheerful as ever?
[Video]
[Video]
Your sunny optimism never fails, does it.
Re: [Video]
[Seeing as he's not really an optimist.]
What about you? Has anything new happened since you left us?
[Spill the beans!!]
[Video]
[Which is a lie, of course, but like he's going to tell Hizumi that.]
[Video]
It's interesting that it was such a short time for you, though.
[Video]
[A quirk of the eyebrow.] Why interesting? They obviously wanted to make me more miserable than ever when I got back...and they succeeded, really.
[Video]
[Fascinating stuff!]
You miss home so much already?
[Video]
[A shrug.] I prefer it to this place, with its monsters and demons and things I don't usually experience in everyday life.
[Video]
A boring life is a happy one, huh?
[Video]
[He nods.] I guess so. Ignorance is bliss, isn't it?
[Video]
[Video]
[Video]
Definitely not. Even I know my limits!

...Well, if it makes people smile, that might not be so bad!

[He trails off awkwardly. He really is the best at conversation.]
Personally, I'd like to work alone. Not working for anybody at all.
