♕ 001 // Video
[The video feed opens on an incredibly puzzled looking young man with short-cropped silver hair and gray eyes. There’s a bit of sports tape holding a bandage over his left eye. He glances once over his shoulder, and the movement of his head allows a moogle to be glimpsed in the background. The moogle appears to be a major contributor to his confusion, and he turns his attention back to the communicator, his lips twisted into a frown.]
Hello. I… [He pauses, glancing upwards. He usually prides himself on remaining calm in unusual situations, but this…] This place is unreal. Like nothing I’ve ever seen before.
[He had been told that it was a different world, that his own had been destroyed. He had never so much as left Japan. It was a strange situation to have to adapt to, and he couldn’t help thinking he might wake up any moment and find himself tucked away in his own dorm room.]
Am I dreaming?
Kupo! [The moogle behind him draws his attention, and for a moment, all the feed shows is the back of his head.] I told you, you’re wide awake! This is Traverse Town!
[He shakes his head. Really, the moogle is like nothing he’s ever seen before.] You’ve been very helpful. I’m sorry, I’m still a little shaken up. … if you don’t mind my asking, what are you?
Haven’t you ever seen a moogle before, kupo?
Sorry, no. Nothing like you where I’m from.
I feel sorry for you, kupo. A world without moogles isn’t much of a world at all!
[Akihiko nods once, but looks a bit dubious as he turns his attention back to the communicator.] When I arrived, he mentioned there were others here like me – people from other worlds, that is. Is it the same for all of us, then? Are we all strangers here?
[Clearly, he not only finds this difficult to believe, but doesn’t much want to believe it.]
