[When the feed starts, there is the sight of a surprised newvomer with longer orange hair. It's from a lower angle.... Did he drop the watch?

Nope. Because the camera angle just tilted. Whoever it is filming this, they're using the glasses cam in order to do so.

There is text that accompanies the video feed.]

My new friend is looking for people who know him!

Can someone who speaks human talk to him? He's confused and doesn't know about his COMP glasses yet...

[...Was that a dog whining.]

He's been through a lot. Tread carefully and respect his boundaries if he doesn't wish to speak about something.

If you're friends like I know you are, he'll open up to you about the whole truth eventually.

[ ... oh, that f-word. he doesn't like a stranger knowing more about his personality than even he does. (friends? really? it... isn't exactly a feeling he is prepared to be comfortable with.) ]

I'm sure. Is there anything else? Otherwise, I'll leave you be.

Don't call him a fake or anything along those lines.

[She doesn't know Neku's exact opinion or knowledge on that whole can of worms, but... just to be safe.]

Not my place to say. He'll tell you if he wants to.

You're welcome. If you ever want to talk again, please don't hesitate. I live in the big castle you'll see in Aquarius district, and work at the flower shop in Virgo. Alternatively, you can leave a message on my COMP.
