E-excuse me.

[There’s a young woman with wide blue eyes on the screen. She presses her lips together briefly, trying to find the right words.]

Is . . . there a way to get a message home? Either with this or with my phone?

[She has the strong sense that there isn’t any more than there is to get home in the first place. But she has to at least ask and eliminate the option before she can go any further.]

I just don’t want them to worry about me.

[Though in all truth, she’s not sure she’s completely ready for the answer.]

And Dad and Conan-kun . . . they’ll have to figure out dinner. And Sonoko may have to take some notes for me . . . for a while.

[She trails off, pressing her lips together, looking away again. Only for a moment, though, before she pulls herself back, doing her best to summon a smile.]

Thank you in advance.

Ran-neechan? When did you get here?

[Well, after the chaos that was Valentine's, this question seems downright simple.]

I don't think time's passing in our worlds while we're here? You might want to talk to the Head Librarian if you're really worried you're missing something at home, though.

[At first, there's mostly just silky, black fur in the image, then the Cat backs away so his eyes and the rest of his features are visible.]

No one from your home will realize you're missing. When you decide to leave, you will be returned almost at the same moment that you left.

Don't worry about your family. They will be safe while you're away. We would not ask you to come here if they were at risk without your presence.

So first, take a deep breath.

[Because he can recognize someone trying to remain calm--and they're actually doing a pretty good job.]

Has anyone talked to you yet about where you are, and what's going on?

[At first, there is a white paw and then a dark wet nose--before Ammy backs up. There is a large white wolf, with sacred red-markings along her fur, and a blue-disc that fades in and out of view above her shoulders, flaring with a Sun's corona.

A large pad of paper is propped up against a shelf, and as Ammy looks at it, sitting near it, her tail twitches lazily. Writing--Ancient Japanese no less--appears on the paper, while any translation needed appears on the video screen.

彼らはまだあなたが行方不明であることを知っていない可能性が高いので、彼らはあなたについて心配するべきではありません。 あなたはここでも安全です。 あなたは招待されており、この場所を手伝うよう依頼しました。]

They should not worry about you, as it is likely they do not yet know you are missing. You are safe here though. You have been invited, and asked to help this place.

[There is a deliberate bow of her head and shoulders--very Japanese, despite being a canine. Then some more writing--after this, Ammy'll need to get a new page.
