[For a moment, the recording seems completely silent. Maybe someone accidentally activated the Vine before walking away?

But no. Anyone paying close attention might pick up on the sound of panicked breathing.]

W... Wh... Wh... [The owner of the voice is obviously having a hard time, and stutters a few more times before she's able to actually spit anything out.] W-W-Where... am I...? This place... I don't...

[A dream. It has to be a dream. But no... she pinched herself, and it definitely hurt. So it was real? But how did she get here? A million questions were running through her mind - already reeling - and just kept adding to her panic.]

L... Lilly...?

[please answer please answer please answer]

A... utopia? That... that seems kind of impossible. Considering e-everyone had to be kidnapped...

I won't doubt that there are some who like it here, who knows what kind of life they had before... but for the most part, exactly.

Anyway, I am Alice Margatroid.

[voice]

[onceburnedtwiceshy]

It's... It's n-nice to meet you, Alice. I'm Hanako... Hanako Ikezawa.

[voice]

[shanghaiworld]

A pleasure.

Do you need anything?

[voice]

[onceburnedtwiceshy]

No... I-I think I'm okay... [Contrary to what she says, she still doesn't sound very okay.]

[voice]

[shanghaiworld]

[It has nothing to do with how she sounds, Alice just flat out doesn't believe that.]

Not even directions?

[voice]

[onceburnedtwiceshy]

Y-Yeah. Someone showed me before...

[shanghaiworld]

But, you're still longing. I recall you speaking a name in a hushed voice. Or you wanted a flower, but I doubt that.
