[Not that he would ever wish for any of his friends or family to be brought to this terrible place, there was still a part of Crowe that was jealous of the others here who had people they knew here with them. He has just been hopelessly homesick since he got here, and getting an item from home sent to him only seemed to make it worse. He knows he could never handle it if they ended up here only to get hurt or brainwashed.

Passing through the living room on his way to school - today he was going to walk with Ryohei to show him where it was - he catches the broadcast as the TV seemed to have been left on.]

W-what? No... no it can't be! They couldn't --!!

[Voice post to all non-drones.]

What is Westport?! Is this some new game they're playing with us, or have people neglected to tell me about it until now? There was a news report… my friends… it couldn't have been them… they looked like…_{how could they do that to them…}

[His voice quivers towards the end, trailing off before he ultimately hangs up. Anyone at his house will find Crowe staring at the blank screen, looking defeated.]

It's got to be a trap to break us, like they took -- It can't be real.

I have no interest in going.

[There was the sound of something grinding in the background.]

Such events offer false hope and I care not to get involved.

It's because you haven't asked, or. ....because no one wants to talk about Westport.

This Westport seems intriguing. It's nice to see my family is doing well.

Please, calm yourself

Yeah, I...I think it's a trick, but I kind of want to believe it, dude. Even if it's not a trick, there's probably some kind of catch...your friends were there too?
