－１: 『Enter the Minus!』

[negative]

[action 1, around town, morning]

[ There's a new face in town -- a rather ordinary-looking young man of average height and build, with black hair, blue eyes, and a pleasant smile on his face. Hands stuffed into his pant pockets, he is walking down the sidewalk, seemingly minding his own business as he approaches a random pedestrian and-- ]

『Hiya!!』

[ --In an instant, he's all up in their grill, his smiling mug just inches away from theirs. ]

『Hello! Excuse me! You there! Yes, you! If you're not too busy, may I please have a moment of your time?』

[ And even after he finishes speaking, the young man continues to stand rather closely to the other person, totally invading their personal space.

And he is still smiling. ]

[action 2, late afternoon, 1649 albright]

[ After spending several hours trying to gather as much information as he could, and another hour or two trying to recall his address, Kumagawa once again finds himself at the front steps of his new "home" -- 1649 Albright Lane. Once inside, he removes his shoes, leaves them at the front door, steps into the living room and, after taking a deep breath, announces quite loudly: ]

『I'm hooooooome, my wonderful, caring, loving family!! I'm soooooo sorry for sneaking out while you were all asleep this morning, but I'm back now, and I'm determined to be the best family member I can possibly be!』

『Hmph! Yeah, right!!』

[ All of a sudden, the guy starts flailing. ]

『As if something like that could actually happen! Time travel . . . what complete and utter nonsense!! What do you take me for, a fool?!』

『I bet you're the one behind all this! I bet you're part of some kind of crime syndicate! You kidnap innocent people and hold them hostage in this weird town!』

[ He looks and sounds SO upset; there are even tears forming and glistening at the corners of his eyes. ]

『You horrible criminal!!』

[negative]

『. . . Just kidding!』

[ And just like that, the tears are gone and he's all smiles again. ]

『Yeah, don't worry! I believe you, one-hundred-percent, mister . . . ah, what was it? I don't think I got your name.』

[keep_smiling]

[Have an even bigger smile. My goodness, these two are way too alike. Elmer tosses his hands up in an innocent gesture.]

Not me, officer! I'm innocent, I swear! You got the wrong bloke!

My name's Elmer. Elmer Albatross.

[negative]

『It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Mr. Albatross!』

[ He flashes the peace sign. ]

『My name is Kumagawa! Kumagawa Misogi! That's last name first, if you didn't know. I'm sure we'll become good friends!』
