[ACTION]

*Already the whole situation seems like some sort of a bad reality television show; he just shows up there with no memories, and is somehow expected to buy the idea that memories can be just extracted from little green jewels. And he's not even given any opportunity to verify this for himself personally, since they won't allow him to work in the lab for his anemoi. So here this boy is, in his black school uniform and his long white scarf, flicking through the smartphone options.*

There has to be a library around here somewhere. If they're not going to give me the specifics on how anything works here, I'll find them myself.

I suppose it's custom to introduce myself according to the techs, so. My name's Hiroshi. And that's all I have. I have to say this whole anemoi thing sounds terribly unscientific, but I guess I don't have much of a choice other than to roll with it. For now, anyway.

Also, is there a "Palom?" I guess I'm his roommate.

Hoax or not, as long as we bring in anemoi we do get memories back. I have been remembering things slowly but surely because of them.

I don't really like just being told "it works like this" and having to just take their word for it. I need to know specifics or else it's just superstition.

So what do you do about magic then? Are you so knowledgeable so that you are a genius mage?

Seriously? Magic is a huge superstition. It's just people claiming "things happen, tada" without bothering to get into the scientific principle of what's actually going on. It's ridiculous.

How do you explain this then?

[Rozalin chooses a target in the way of a trash can and fires a fireball at it. Lowest level of course, as she doesn't want to completely destroy the city.]

G-HA!

*He's just backed away so fast he tripped and fell into a bush.*

See? Magic is real. And if you do not wish for me to go into the specifics, there are books at the library on the subject.

That's -- well I mean -- there has to be a logical -- some sort of element that isn't -- it can't really be...

*That's odd. He doesn't just look shocked. He looks almost SHATTERED.*

[Oops. Didn't mean to do that to the poor kid.]

Are. Are you all right?

There's gotta -- I mean, certainly, these sorts of things can't really -- I...

...no. And I don't really know why.

I guess you do not come from a place where magic is common if it has surprised you this much.

S-sure. That has to be the reason. Still... there has to be some reason why you can do that, right? Some... I don't know, theories, or biological factors. Something like that.

Well, I am a demon. That may explain why I can use magic. But there are several humans here who are able to as well.

*And now she's saying she's a demon? He's beginning to wonder if this is some sort of fever dream now.*

Um... right. Look, is there anything written about any of this stuff? I'm having a hard time really wrapping my head around any of it.

There is probably something in the library under the newspaper section. I wish you luck in finding something.

[She turns around, clearly showing that her wings are not being held on her back by some sort of harness but actually coming out of her skin.]

Th... thanks.

*Weird, he has the strangest urge to cry. Or hide in a closet, or something. Come on, man, you're a scientist, handle this like a man!*
