[He can do this. Who cares if people think he's weird for this? He has people who don't think that, too. He turns on the video and smiles a tiny bit, before speaking.]

So I'm just wondering... a couple of things, really. First of all, how many people are here who are under the age of twenty? It feels like that's a lot of people here - more than you'd usually see in any kind of population. Has anyone tracked that kind of stuff?

And second...

[Here we go.]

How many people had what people might call... powers or abilities or magic at home? Like, stuff that most people can't do but you can do? I'm not counting if you come from some kind of world where magic is common, but where it's rare and people would stare at you for doing it, that's what I mean.

[... He's kind of run out of steam.]

Th... that's what I was wondering. Let me know. I'm not trying to like... track people down or something. I'm just curious.

[He flicks the video off and goes to get a drink of water. That was kind of scary.]

Well, in this world, most... — ah, native? Trainers begin as children. It's possible the mechanism responsible for our arrival factors age for that reason. ( beat. ) Happy, um, late birthday.

Armin Arlert. Have you been here longer than a few months? I just arrived.

( that sounds too long... don't get impatient, arlert. )

You must know a lot of people, right? If you don't mind... What's the longest you've known someone to be in this place?

( nodding, ) Someone told me he's been here for three years. Do you think a few months is typical, then?

— ah. ( smile, small and strained. ) That's probably true. From what I understand... We can't change our place in this world. But it's hard not to think about. But it's good to have someone to share it with.

Sorry. ( for...? armin isn't certain he knows. he doesn't offer more than that. ) I guess it's good you're here.

You don't know. I've found a few — ( friends? no. comrades? bertolt is a traitor. ) People from my world.

( a beat. then, armin smiles. small again but there, still. )

I hope your friends show up. They'd be lucky.
