[He chooses text over audio or video because it makes more sense. The technology of these devices is interesting, but he’s not ready for using more technology right now. Text is efficient enough and he can maintain some amount of anonymity despite his name being available. He doesn’t know who may be watching.]

Although, I am grateful for the orientation and helpful information I have recieved in the days since my arrival, it cannot instill the unique perspective of those who have been brought here and their experiences. I would appreciate hearing those perspectives and if those brought here are indeed seeking the new home that was expressed by the assistants.

It is not a sentiment I am sure that I believe, but as I said, each perspective is unique.

I apologize if my questions have been invasive. I have found the people here to be very welcoming, despite the circumstances. It helps acclimating ourselves, although they seem to care little about the specifics out how we come to be here.

Don't apologize. They aren't invasive at all.

[Getting bluntly asked by multiple people, 'Why can't you walk?' Now that was invasive.]

[heartofasamurai]

If that is so, would you mind explaining more about your experience in arriving here. What you believe may have led to you being chosen by the portal.

I come from a people made up of warriors. If you can't fight, you're nothing. I was born crippled, so everyone believed it would have been better if I'd never been born. Much as I've proved myself over the years to everyone around me, I still feel out of place no matter what I do.

[Small wonder then that the portal had chosen him.
