[ Hello Network, today you're greeted by a bespectacled teen in summer clothes who looks pretty unfazed about finding himself in Siren's port. There's a sniper rifle casually slung over his shoulder and he's obviously moving, but his hand is steady enough that it doesn't turn the feed shaky at all.]

Hello everyone, I'm Yukio Okumura and I've been here before— which was a year ago, I believe. I remember everything about this place and I was told then that the Core likes to send people back home and then bring them back here again, but well. It was a difficult concept to grasp then. Not anymore now, I suppose. Does it happen often? And to those it happened to as well, did you remember Siren's Port when you returned home? That's all I wanted to ask.

[ He pauses, about to cut to feed, before he remembers and adds: ]

Oh, and just like before, I offer my services as an exorcist and my medical knowledge to anyone who needs it.

[Only the last part of that really grabs Allen's attention. One word in particular, and he half-believes he must have misheard Yukio. There's no way this boy is...

He can't be. He has to be from another world, there's no way he has anything to do with the Order. But what if he does? Allen can't draw attention to himself here, he shouldn't say anything, he—

blurts out before he can stop himself;]

Exorcist?

[ A familiar voice, but Yukio can't quite place it. This kind of feels like deja vu though. ]

That's right. I'm from the Order's Japan Branch.

[Don't mind this elegant sound of choked-off disbelief.]

The what?

[ He won't. Quite patiently: ]

The branch based in Tokyo.

[This is completely preposterous. The Order doesn't have a Branch in Japan, and for good reason. It's never been mentioned once. Unless— this is another thing they've kept secret?

It could be.]

I've never... heard of that city.

[There's a hesitant pause.] Is it a new branch...?

It isn't, it's been around for quite a while.

But since you don't know Tokyo, I'm guessing this is another case of either a different world or perhaps a different time. If it's the latter, you might know it as Edo.

[...Ah.]

Edo. [That's familiar. Is this an Exorcist from the Order's future?

He takes a breath. One way to find out;] Is it the Black Order you're talking about?

No, I'm afraid I've never heard of the Black Order. I'm from the True Cross Order.

[ He switches to video so after fishing it out of his pouch, he can hold up a pin, the proof of a True Cross Exorcist. ]

[Yyyyyep, definitely not a Rose Cross. He's not really sure if he's relieved or, well, a little disappointed, that it's a different Order.

He supposes he has no reason not to use video as well now, though. And he puts on a smile.]

You must be from a different world, then. This is the first time I've heard of another Order...

I'm Allen Walker, by the way.

[ He returns the smile amiably. ]

So it seems. It's nice to meet you, Mr. Walker.

I take it you're from this Black Order then?

It's nice to meet you as well.

[Well. He's technically not from there, anymore, but there's no need to get into that.]

Mm... I'm an Exorcist, myself.

I see. If you don't mind me asking, were you here before?

...I was, but I don't remember it.

Why do you ask?

That explains it.

Your voice is familiar and I believe we've had a similar conversation before.

Oh! [He gives a short, sheepish laugh; finding that both disconcerting and embarrassing.]

Sorry about that...

[ He shakes his head, still smiling. ]

It's fine, it's not your fault.

Still... I apologize if I've... repeated myself.

[A pause.] May I ask what it is you do as an Exorcist in your world, Mr. Okumura?

Not at all.

[ He nods. ] I'm assigned missions to protect the human world from demons, like all exorcists. I also teach Demon Pharmacology at the Exorcist cram school.

[The first part sounds familiar enough, but.]

'Cram school'? You have a school for Exorcists?

[Now, that's a strange notion.]

That's right, we have to educate and train new exorcists after all.

Does the Black order not have anything like that?

Not a school... Most Exorcists, I think, are trained by a General.

I see, so it's more organized like military.

We do have a ranking system and everything, but yes. All exorcists start at the cram school for us.

[It occurs to him that even if the Black Order had a school, it's not as though there'd be enough new recruits to fill a classroom- but then that must mean...]

...Does the True Cross Order have many Exorcists?

The True Cross Order is an organization that spreads across the entire world, so I would say so.

But our classes do tend to be just a handful of students.

[A handful of students in schools all across the world still sounds like an awful lot.

It wouldn't be possible in Allen's world.]

What do you fight... demons with?
