002 ☆ video
[Music -- if it can even be called that -- comes through your PokéGear's speakers when you play this video. The image on the screen is of a grimy stone floor; after looking at it for a few seconds, one might eventually make out a series of runes, carved into the floor itself. For any English-reading characters in the audience, a little bit of hunkering down and focusing should make the runes start to look like a certain word:]
Light.
[WE NEED SOME LIGHT, FIRST OF ALL WE NEED SOME-- no okay not singing showtunes here.]
I've been through one of these chambers already, and that had a word on the floor as well. It took longer than I would have expected to figure out... but here I am. [Seriously, though. English isn't his first language, but for some reason it required a lot of focus to even decode the word "ESCAPE".] I won't tell you what the solution to that puzzle was; once you understand the cipher, though, this 'light' should be easy enough as well.
Oh-- and there's one other thing worth noting. [The Gear's camera moves up to show another tangle of Unown runes. Komaeda's been puzzling over this, too, for a good long time, but he's revealing the translation for the sake of the broadcast.] This passage here references an unidentified 'we' "erecting a Pokémon statue outside"... there are plenty of statues in these ruins, but all of them are within some chamber or another. One could easily assume that the 'we' in question created this statue, but it still lies buried... or it is hidden in some other manner. Perhaps some kind of criterion has to be filled before the statue will appear?
Ah. Incidentally [and by this he means 'not incidentally at all'], I understand that some people have gotten the opportunity to speak to people native to the region of Kalos -- which bears a striking resemblance to a country I know called 'France'. There are goodie bags presently being given out in at least one Pokémon Center that are supposedly from Kalos, which contain -- among other things -- a couple of French baked goods known as macarons. It makes one wonder exactly how many things from this world have been lifted from others. Has anyone noticed other similarities?
...Mmm, I probably should have said this at the beginning, but please feel free to disregard this message, if you haven't done so already. It's just some worthless babbling. [He laughs.] Well, in any case, good night.
Light.

It's...something that happened back in my world. And that's totally possible, too, a lot of people end up in other worlds entirely, especially when their own world is destroyed.
...N-not that I'm saying that's what happened to any of the worlds here.
no subject
...Destroyed?
[Now there's a thought.]
I was told that after leaving here, people return to their worlds... but what of those who haven't? Since several of my classmates have returned already, I know that my world should still be safe, but there could be people here who don't have that guarantee.
...I'm probably overthinking this. [It's a Pokémon game, Komaeda, really.]
no subject
Yeah...sorry. Words back where I'm from were consumed by darkness before, that doesn't necessarily mean they're lost forever, just...
[Hnnnmnmn.]
There are people here that have...died back in their own world, though. They're aware that there is no real "going back" for them.
[She's not speaking from personal experience or anything, of course not.]

[A pause.]
They said I've been here several times before, but I don't remember any of that.

At home, happenings like these would be limited to the realm of fiction.
