[So there is a very worried looking young man staring at the camera. They said other people could see him with this. That he can just talk and they'd see it. It's still strange to him, but he's supposed to deal with being told he's a 'fictional', right? Right. So after a few long moments, Ryu speaks.]

Um... I'm Ryu... I'm new here, I guess... uh...

[He shakes his head. This is too hard to take in.]

I don't understand any of this. How could I not be real? I just need to get home. I need to find him. I need to go back.

[No one's here that he knows. He'd asked.]

I don't know what to do...

[... He's not sure what else to say, so he reaches over and turns the video off.]

... Is that good?

[His eyes light up.]

Really? The others can read but I'm not so good at it.

It's great. Really.

Then you'll get better.

Good! Nina helped me some nights when we camped, but usually she was too tired.

Who's Nina? A girlfriend?

A... huh? No, she's just my friend.

[At least he has a bit of a grasp on what that means. Sort of. It's more than a friend, right?]

I mean... I care about her a lot. She's the one who found me. But she's worried about her sister. And I don't think I should get into... that kind of thing at all. Gods and mortals don't really mix that well with that kind of thing.
