[Teddie had long contemplated if he should appear on the video as his real self or in his human form. In the end, a blond young man with a smile on his face is shown on the feed.]

Hello, ladies and gentlemen of Hinoto-Ri. My name is Teddie and I've just arrived here. Since it's my first time in this city, would anybody be willing to be my tour guide? [He could probably do it himself, but that would feel really lonely.]

I especially don't mind if a pretty lady escorts me. [If anybody thinks now they have seen sparkles, it was probably not only their imagination.]

It's Nano. Nano Shinonome.

[She smiles, looking a little sheepish at the 'my lady' but bowing her head politely all the same.]

[teddious]

[Oh, that was a short, sweet name that he could remember well. She seemed like such a sweet girl as well!]

Are you from this world, Nano-chan?

Video - pretend she called him Teddie-san in that first tag, orz

[all_wound_up]

No... I was brought here too, just like you were.

I shall!

[teddious]

Oh, so you're from a different place, too? Hmm. [This was all just so weird. He can remember this masked man guy... but what exactly were they here for? But it was no time to get depressed right now and so he looks as cheerful as ever.]

THen I hope you show me some of your favourite places here!

[all_wound_up]

I can show you the market and the hot springs, at least. What other kinds of places do you like?

[Although Teddie may have stopped listening at 'hot springs.']

[teddious]

There are hot springs here?!

[He indeed has.]

Hot springs, hot springs! Can we go into the hot springs?

[all_wound_up]

If you want to! I'm the manager there, so I can show you around.

[Also it's the Amagi Inn, so it'll be nice and confusingly familiar.]

[teddious]

Oooh, the manager even. That reminds me of a precious friend of mine.

[There's an obvious glint of happiness in his eyes.]

But yes, I would love you to show me around there!

[Oh, he really will be confused... or assume all the inns look the same.]

[all_wound_up]

Really? Was her name Yukiko Amagi?

[Nano's face lights up too. Maybe this is someone else Yukiko knew!]

[teddious]

Yes, Yuki-chan is a real beauty and-

[Wait a moment there!]

You know Yuki-chan? How? Is she here? [But if she was, why didn't she greet him?]

[all_wound_up]

[Nano shakes her head sadly.]

She's not here... not anymore. But she was for a while. And her family's inn is here, too.

[teddious]

... I see.

[So she wasn't here. That was kind sad.]

But her inn is here? Why is it suddenly here? [Perhaps asking for the how would have been the smarter choice.]

[all_wound_up]

This city brings people and places from other worlds.

[teddious]

Even places? That is amazing! I've never heard of a world that could do that!

[all_wound_up]

It is pretty amazing, isn't it?

[teddious]

It is! [Just how many worlds could do that?]

And you have taken over Yuki-chan's inn.. that-that must be fate!

[all_wound_up]

Huh? Fate?

[teddious]

Yes. Fate has destined us to meet! [Don't take him seriously, Nano.]

[all_wound_up]

Right... I guess it has!

[Nope, Nano's cheerfully gullible.]

[teddious]

[Oh Nano, just be careful. He is fairly convinced they are going on a date now.]

When does Nano-chan have time to show me around?

[all_wound_up]

[Poor Nano has no idea.]

I have some time now if you'd like.

[teddious]

[Hopefully, she won't have any regrets.]

Really? That is awesome, Nano-chan! Then I'll wait in front of the Pisces Ward!

[all_wound_up]

I'll meet you there.

[Nano smiles into the feed, nodding. And soon enough, there she is, waving at Teddie from about a block away.]

Teddie-san!

[teddious]

Alright, thank you, Nano-chan!

[He goes outside, waiting until he spots her before he waves back.]

Nano-chan, hello! [The thing on her back becomes a bit more notable now. Perhaps it was a fashion statement?]

[all_wound_up]

Hello, Teddie-san!

[Nano smiles, slowly jogging up to where he's standing.]

I hope you didn't wait too long for me.
