You saw that, the claw randomly dropped it!

[It's true but it also sounds so much like an excuse to cover for his failure, haha]

So it's rigged.

[Wow, he didn't hesitate to take that justification]

[Details, details.

Akihiko leaves the crane games behind, deciding he had enough of that for now. Through the rest of the week he'll come back from time to time to try to win a prize, really. His pride is a little hurt, so he's going to make it his mission to succeed at least once at that.

But for now he's just leaving it behind. While he's looking around, he glances at Gamaliel]


So, this is your kind of place?

[You prefer arcades and the such to hang out?]

They don't?

[Akihiko, stuck in the era where arcades still existed and didn't do too bad. Ah, 2006 or so, those sure were the times]

[Well that's such a loss. Where do people have fun if the arcades are gone]

Are karaokes gone too?

[The future doesn't seem very appealing]

I see.

[Akihiko nods]

So this is how a bunch of people here feel, finding out what 'the future' is like. I didn't think I'd experience that myself.

[It's kind of bitter, somehow!]

Tatsumi Port Island. That's Japan.

[Who knows what part of Japan it is]

It's a port but it isn't nearly as...natural as this place? It's a couple artificial islands just off the coast. No good beaches.

[According to the map there's an industrial zone right by the water. I have no idea what are the pollution restrictions in Japan, but I sure would avoid the water in any city with industrial presence]
