[The first sound is of someone clearing his throat -- and it comes from every smartphone on the island as they all switch on.]

Mass broadcast function, okay, here goes. Good phone design, by the way, very intuitive. Especially the overrides.

[The volume scales up for a moment, until it echoes off building faces.]

If I could have everybody's attention for just a minute -

[Volume back to normal.]

Why is there a big building in the middle of town with my name on it? Usually I sign papers for those. Maybe draw up plans... the point is, I should have heard about it, and I didn't. Where am I now, Hong Kong? This looks like Lantau Island. Lantau Island? Everybody from Lantau Island, hands in the air.

Okay, now put your hands down and let me know where I am. I can't see you, I'm broadcasting.

Are you sure you don't remember putting it there anyway? [Because even if this guy's been here before wouldn't it make some sense to sort of remember building a giant building? This island's stupid. Everything about this makes absolutely no sense.]

[sincenewyork]

Pretty sure. Hey, anybody ever tell you you look like Harry Potter?

[seeked]

I get that a lot.

Maybe the tower's not meant for you.

[sincenewyork]

It has my name on it. It literally has my name on it. In my font.

[seeked]

And...what does it do? Is it just standing there or does it actually have a purpose?

[sincenewyork]

Well, that's a good question, actually. It's a little small for me. And closed, apparently, but they're still doing upkeep and maintenance. No birds nesting in the R or anything like that.

So I came to the island before, got entrepreneurial, made myself a start-up tech firm. Probably took a few weeks. I made these phones. And then I disappeared.

But that doesn't really look like a phone factory.

[sincenewyork]

You're actually Harry Potter, aren't you?
