[Joshua is holding his wrist out before him, smiling at the watch's camera. This thing is interesting... this whole place, really, is interesting to him. He's sitting in a cafe, with a steaming cup of coffee in his hand. While aware of his need to spare the money he had for food here- after all he was practically human again- it did good to rest his nerves.]

I've been investigating this extra thirteenth hour in the day as others are calling it. It's quite interesting, really, for more reasons than one. Most interestingly... restrictions on my abilities are lifted during the Thirteenth Hour.

[In other words, he's completely human every other hour of the day, and that's incredibly frustrating.]

I'm perfectly aware that there are those here who are more experienced with this world than I am. I'd like to know more about the Thirteenth Hour, if it's possible. What exactly it is, why it exists, what effects it has on this world... Anything you can tell me~

OF COURSE I'M PISSED AT YOU! You shot Neku! It's your game! You expect me to trust you after that??

Did I say that I expected you to trust me? In fact, I expected exactly the opposite and even said so.

I'd rather we not discuss this publicly, though. [And since he has no interest in seeing her in person- he's not going to risk a violent confrontation even if he doesn't believe she has it in her- he's just going to lock the feed instead.]

Fine. [He's right about her not having it in her to be violent, but Shiki can be scary when she's angry...]

So... that means, the psychs work. But only during the 13th hour?

I believe that's how it works, though I haven't tested it myself. My psychs work just fine, but for a human being...

I can't really say. This world is anything but ordinary.

But that doesn't make any sense! Psychs are only supposed to work in the UG...

I believe the city takes on the properties of the UG during the Thirteenth Hour. It would likely be impossible to fully comprehend how... but I'm doing my best to find out.

[Sigh.]

Geez. Another mystery...

Life's full of mysteries, it's something you'll have to come to expect, Ms. Misaki.

So much for thinking I'm getting more answers the longer I stay here...
