Hello.
My name is Ken Kaneki, I'm 18 years old and I come from Tokyo in Japan. I have just arrived.

There are still many things I don't understand about this place. But I'm curious, is there a library in this place? Or a bookshop? Or any place for me to find books?

And where do people live? Do you just take a room for yourselves, like everything else? [ it just sounds wrong... ]

What are we meant to do here? [ what is the point of being here, he wonders ]

Thank you to everyone who helped me when I first arrived on the train. And everyone who answers this post. [ he is very polite indeed ]

I guess I lied a little - some are in gibberish too. But so far as I can tell there’s no code to them. Working on it.

We’ve been here a few months and no one’s come knocking down the door.

The stores restock without anyone being there either, and just keep restocking. So.

For some reason I don’t think anyone is gonna mind.

[ how strange. But well, they can make movies and write things down, at least. Kaneki isn't sure how he will deal without books, though... ]

It feels strange to be living in someone else's house. Some of them have photographs and have everything in it. [ just no people ]

Have you been here since the start? Since when has this been going on?

[braidedwonder]

Well af least you don’t have to look at someone’s family photos instead of their non-working tv.

Yeah I have. Two, going on three months.

Along with a few of my friends thankfully.

Someone said this most likely happened before.
It just makes me wonder what happened to everyone else. It's a bit scary they vanished like this.

Well there is a graveyard. But nothing big enough to hold everyone that this place could accommodate.

So your guess is as good as mine.

[anthropophagite]

Has anyone explored the graveyard further?
I mean, are there bodies or remains of people there?

[braidedwonder]

Look if you wanna go digging up corpses feel free.. but that’s not really my thing.

I see. Thank you for replying. [ well, if no one has tried that, Kaneki will ]
