[A small boy, no older than six or seven, is peering into the camera with a look of deep concentration. Suddenly his expression subtly shifts into a childish expression of worry.]

Ne! Ne! Is anyone there? I just found this device here, and it seems a little like a cell phone. But my phone isn't working. Isn't that strange?

Is there a police officer anywhere? At school they said I should find one if I got lost.  And I can't find Ran-neechan anywhere!

Why? I have to go back and find Ran-neechan. She gets really worried when I go off by myself.

I'm sorry to say this but, no one can go back home right now. We've been kidnapped by the scientists and have to live here.

Eh! Why would they do that?

[Good, confirmation on what he had already guessed. Scientists, huh. Now he just needed to find the motive. Was this related to Them? Or was it something else.]

Don't know. I've been here for a while now. Where did you come from?

[Kid, you're weird.]

Never heard of that. I'm from Hinamizawa in Japan. And everyone else here comes from different places.

Ahhh? I don't think I've ever been there. Beika City is in Tokyo.
