"Somewhat, yeah. I woke up in the middle of it all last night and had a little explained, but I met Rukia at breakfast and she went into more detail about the monsters and what everyone's been doing. And I ran into the radio man last night, although I'm not sure how helpful he was..."

Tyler couldn't help but laugh and grin back at the other boy. "Osaka? Really? I've always wanted to go to Japan and visit all the regions, but I hadn't gotten there yet. I'm from Massachusetts, along the east coast of the states."
