and I need someone to talk to apart from you

Characters: Zo, open
Setting: floor 001
Format: brackets, party-style
Summary: Zo visits the residential levels of the Tower.
Warnings: none so far

[The elevator dings as its doors slide open--that's not an unusual occurrence, really, for a floor that not only houses one of the elevator stopping points but also the most reliable food sources. What's unusual, though, is the boy who steps out of it.

Zo enters the cafeteria, looking around as if he hasn't seen it in some time, which is true. He's followed by one retrieval unit. While she looks as blank as any retrieval unit, her collar is chipped and she wears glasses. In fact, she might be a bit familiar to some, though she will not respond (but there's something... Unusually alive about her, even so).

Though he's careful not to stray far from his bodyguard, he smiles at the floor in general.]

Um... Hi! Wow, it's been a while since I've been up here!

Ah, yes.....I remember hearing something like that. [At that administrator meeting.]

Basically you are saying that she is still alive.....[Which would be a relief in one way, even though Edgeworth dreads to think what she might be going through.

However, there is one thing that does not make sense from the whole 'being still alive and in their dead worlds' idea.]

Are people not supposed to die if they leave the tower, though? Permanently?

[animusnpcs]

If you go back to your own world, you're okay. But if you left the Tower and went outside here in this world, you'd die. It's like that.

I see.....is there a specific reason for that, if you don't mind me asking? [Because it doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Then again, neither does the rest of the tower and Edgeworth has realised that he has to be much more open to nonsensical things, especially after June's reveal.]
