[The video feed opens on a girl with red eyes. Naturally red ones, that is. She smiles brightly at the camera and begins to talk.]

Hi, everybody! It's been a few days since I arrived, and I think I'm settled in enough to introduce myself. I'm Sasha Fyer, and I travel to different worlds to take notes on them for my job. But it wasn't a part of my job to go here... I've never been to a world that came to me first before! This is a new experience.

Anyway, I've been doing some reading up, and everything is just so... fascinating! From Personas- I don't think mine has woken up yet- to that Philemon guy to Hinoto-Ri itself- this is a cool place! And the gadgets are cool, too! Watch this! [She giggles as the COMP glasses appear on her head, and then disappear.] So cool!

How about you guys tell me a little bit about your worlds? I'm curious to hear about where the other people like me have come from. I hope to see you guys around the city! That'd be great! Anyway, I'm going to go look around the city some more. This is a big place. See ya!

[With that, she closes the feed.]

Lost between dimensions? That can happen? [Suddenly he's a lot more unsure about the JP's transporter.]

D-Doesn't sound like it'd be very pleasant, in any case....Or that it'd last for very long...

It happens once every blue moon, but it's actually rather easily solved. If someone else tries to go to that same world- say, looking for the person who got lost- they'll kind of dislodge the person who's stuck and wind up at the destination with them. Or sometimes that person will get set free by someone going to an unrelated world entirely. It's never happened to me and I've never had anyone appear, so this is just what I've read.

Oddly, people who get stuck between dimensions don't really remember much of what happened there. The accounts don't really say much.

You say "easily," but that all sounds pretty complicated to me. I'm not so good at that kind of conceptual stuff... [Cue awkward chuckle.]

They come back though at least, don't they? So that's not too bad.

I bet the actual mechanics are pretty complicated. People still aren't quite sure how it works, whether it's through Manon displacement or some other fancy concept they're working on right now.

Yeah! There's no records of someone being permanently lost. If you wind up in the wrong dimension, you can just warp back home and try again.

Phew. I thought there was gonna be some kind of spatial cutting off or something-- your torso would end up in Tokyo and your legs could be in Brazil or something...

No way! Not even interdimensional horrors exactly lurk between dimensions. There's just a weird gap between dimensions, or something... at least, that's how we understand it.

Still, that's kind of weird though, isn't it? There's gotta be something there, right? Or something special about it. Can it really be just empty space?

It's probably not just empty space. Maybe it's a special kind of space? Even to this day, people back home are still theorizing over it.

Maybe there's some kind of intermediary galaxy and planets in stars in the space in between.

[Yes that...is totally a thing that could happen.]

But wouldn't that make it a dimension...? Ah, sometimes even the dimensions themselves aren't that well defined. I know of a building that just kind of casually slides between different dimensions and can appear in multiple places at once. It's a nice place.

Whoah. I'm not sure if that's really cool, or terrifying...

[Probably a bit of both.]

Maybe it is some kind of dimension in between though? You said they weren't that well defined, so maybe it's just a really unstable one.

A really unstable one... I like that idea! It almost makes more sense than what I was saying. Dimensional stuff gets really hard to understand after a bit...

Yeah, no kidding. I'm not even sure I understood most of the stuff I said.

[Well he did, but if he had heard that stuff from someone else, he'd have no idea what's going on.]

--O-Oh! My name's Daichi Shijima, by the way. I, probably should've mentioned that before...

I should have given my name too- sorry! I am Sasha Fyer. Nice to meet you, Daichi! You've got a good head for these concepts, I think.

Heh, you think so? [He seems a bit sheepish at that. Usually his friends were telling him to catch up already!!]

Uh, thanks, I guess. And it's nice to meet you too. I'm not usually so good at this stuff, but hey, if you ever want to chat about random dimensional possibilities, give me a call!

Careful! I might just take you up on that offer if I need a second head to sort things out.~ Maybe I'll think up something for you to help me with.
