「Good morning, Hadriel. How's your day? Hopefully better than this guy's!

Said guy appears on the little screen of your devices, drenched and with semi covered in... what is that? Foam? (yes, yes, before you ask, that spiky hairdo is totally flatten and looking rather normal...)

Why you see, someone decided to finally do laundry.

Someone who never, in his whole life, had touched a washing machine... and never an alien looking one. Well, he had to at least try, Yugi made it look so easy (or his mom!)! Plus, getting new clothes from the stores at any opportunity given, can only be a good idea for so long before the pile starts... well, you know, pilling up!

And that's why you see on the background (and if you happen to be around)... this humongous amount of foam coming out from one of those new houses. The big one, btw, because this small guy needs all that space, sure...

Why didn't this thing come with instructions... HE'S A PRO AT READING INSTRUCTIONS!

Good Ra, help him...」

Hmm... I... 「 This is hard. 」 I seem to require some... assistance, here...

Thank you.

I have to. What about you?

I am. I have a couple of people from my world here. It makes things easier.

「 See those eyes widen, only a little. That's... rather new. So there is a possibility that he might not be alone forever?

No, wait, that'd be rather... unfair. 」

From your world, huh... I bet it does. Hows your world like anyway?

It was a bad place for me and a normal place for most people.

Bad in what way?

「You keep talking, gurl, he gonna start trying to get rid of that foam. 」

A lot of ways. What was your world like?

Hmm, if I said normal that probably wouldn't mean a thing to you. That said... I come from Earth, or, from one of the many versions of them. The one where Duel Monsters is a rather famous thing.

Duel Monsters? What kind of monsters are those?

It's just the name of a strategy game.

「It's a children's card game! But, shh.」

I guess that makes clear you don't come from my world.

Maybe. I didn't..I wasn't up on current events and trends.

[Because she was hiding in a serial killer's basement, but that's hard to explain. Even before that, she had a controlling father. Not much time for games.]

I didn't have the latest apps.

「Too bad he doesn't know that, he'd jump from his seat and go play something with her. Games soothe the soul, except for the Shadow Games, but that's something else.」

Apps?

Yeah, you know, apps on your phone.

Never used the phone much, until now.

Then we're definitely not from the same world.

「He gives a little shrug.」

Glad you got away from the bad things, though.

Yeah, me too. Even if there are bad things here too.

That's right, but you're not alone. That changes everything.

What about you? Have you made friends here or are you alone?

Got not one from home here, but-- yeah, I've meet some people. Nice people.

That's good. And maybe someone from your home will show up. If you'd want them to.

I guess that would be selfish, don't you think?

No, not if they could have a better life here.

They are better where they are.

Everyone you knew had a better life there?

No, not everyone. But they made the best out of it.
