This might be a silly question. But how do you suppose we should be counting our birthdays here?

I technically should be 19 now, I think.
But if it's Halloween, I'm still a bit away from my birthday, too.

Should I be 18 or 19?

I know there isn't much in this place but...

Is there anything you want?

[anthropophagite]

Oh, no. Please don't worry, I don't need anything at all.

[whatsamada]

Are you sure?

It seems kind of weird not to give someone something for their birthday.

[anthropophagite]

Its alright.

besides, I'm just a stranger. You should give presents to your friends.

[whatsamada]

I know but if we’re going to be here, I might as well try to make some friends right?

[anthropophagite]

Of course.

Then, I suppose we can introduce each other. I'm Kaneki. Kaneki Ken.

[whatsamada]

[.......what.]

It's nice to meet you too, Kaneki-san.

I wasn't expecting to meet someone with my name here. My name is Ken Amada.

[anthropophagite]

It looks like we do!
Are you from Japan as well?

[whatsamada]

Yes, I am.

Mind if I ask what year since I'm from 2012.

[anthropophagite]

It was 2012 as well! [ oh he is a bit exceited ]

Where are you from? I'm from Nerima ward in Tokyo.

[whatsamada]

Have you heard from Iwadotai? It's a small port city and it's pretty well known for how close the community is.

[Along with a few other things but.......!!]

[anthropophagite]

I haven't?
Are you sure that's how it's written?

[ maybe the romanji isn't translating it correctly...! ]

[whatsamada]

Yes, I'm pretty sure it is.

But I wouldn't be surprised since it is rather small. It is a small port city that doesn't have too much going on.

[Or so he says...........]

[anthropophagite]

That might be it.
Although I know there are different versions of Earth and different versions of Japan.
There is a chance that's also happening...

[whatsamada]

I guess so?

I'm not even too sure myself about how that is supposed to work but it seems that I'll have to accept it.

...If someone can bend time back home, it can be applied to here too.

[anthropophagite]

I guess the correct term is multi-universes or parallel universes, I suppose.

Someone can do such a thing back where you live?

[whatsamada]

Kind of?

More like we have an extra hour back home if that makes any sense?

[Because it's.........complicated.]

[anthropophagite]

An extra hour?

[ ken. what? ]

[whatsamada]

Due to an experiment gone wrong, it created an extra hour within a day. However, only people with the potential can experience that extra hour in the day as there are a lot of dangerous creatures that lurk around during that time.

[And you know...a bunch of other things too.]

[anthropophagite]

Dangerous creatures?

Like yokai?

[whatsamada]

No, more like...

a manifestation of negative emotions of people taking form?

[anthropophagite]

And you had to run and hide from that?

[whatsamada]

No, I had to fight them! Otherwise, they would destroying things around the city and keep hurting people!

However, it's only certain people can do it as most people can't experience the extra hour in the day.

[anthropophagite]

Fight them? You?
Isn't there anyone else?

But wait, how does that extra hour look like to others, if they can't be part of it?

[whatsamada]

There are a few others as they are teammates so I'm not completely alone.

Although, that extra hour won't look much of anything. They won't remember anything as they will be turned into coffins during that time.
