[Kazuma is obviously in the Archives. The looming shelves, claustrophobic framing, and dim lighting is more than enough to give that away. There are open tomes around him, but he isn't reading any of them; instead, he's considering the camera with a quizzical look, chin in his hand as he leans on the table he's at.]

Before the patrons of this place decide to plague us with more of the same, I have a mundane question for all of you.

We have many places we can choose to make our homes here. I am currently in Crenshaw, previously in Willful Machine...I moved with someone I know well. The point being, there are reasons we choose these places, correct?

What drew you to yours? What merits does it have to have others consider it? Is it because of people you know, or something else?

[He sighs and drums his fingers on the tabletop.] I just never really gave my own lodging much thought...I am wondering if most of us settle where it is convenient, or if we find other reasons to gravitate to where we end up.

Yes. He has been here for a bit longer than I have and is living with a few people.

[So it was a sense of safety, even though she didn't know pretty much most of them there, minus one who she only knew very little but still knew something.]

But they do give off a sense of safety when around the house, so they do. Plus I've never really lived alone in a way so it would have been a lot harder.

So you have a group you can trust then. Good.

[Trust was necessary in a place like Trench. To have it in abundance was good.]

So it's both safety and something of the familiar. I see.

I think there might be more to it, but for me those were off the top of my head the reasons anyway.

[She smiled slightly for a moment.]

But for others it's probably different, right?

[truerevival]

I'm quickly finding that to be the case. Everyone has their reasons. Some are similar: knowing someone that was here already, being offered a place while already overwhelmed by their arrival...But beyond that, there are more differences than not.

[occultfan]

That's really interesting.

[Ada wondered if perhaps one day she might try and live on her own, but that was a thought for a bit later down the line. Depending on how comfortable she is or not.]

I also assumed you wanted to know this type of thing for a reason?
