[One very excited kid is on screen. Possibly "overexcited," given how trivial his concerns are:]

There's so much food to eat here! And it all tastes really good!

And things have smells and my clothes feel soft... This is amazing! Being alive is so amazing! I'm so lucky to be somewhere like this, and all fixed up..! Oh! What are the best foods to eat? Are there things to smell other than flowers and the ocean? Do people have smells? Can I touch things? Is that allowed? What's allowed? 

There's so much to do, too. I think I decided to u-um... try being a white mage. But what about the other jobs? What jobs does everyone have? Do any of them involve eating a lot? Are we really allowed to try any job? What if I'm bad at it? Will I lose my friends and home?

All of the jobs can help people! But since you have so many questions, a job called Scholar is all about learning things to help your friends! [ But then it registers that the kid doesn't have any friends aside from his moogle. ]

We can be friends, if you want! [ Take a thumbs-up! ] My name's Hunk! What's yours, friend? [ See? Making friends is easy! ]

[Friend... The word echos in his mind, to an almost comical degree.

Then something in Shi clicks. He goes from being shy to kind of giddy.]

I-I'm Shi! Yamato! It's nice to meet you, Hunk! [He beams. It may almost sound like this kid rehearses his introductions in a mirror. Just in case!]

There are so many ways to be helpful here. It's amazing! I used to dream of this stuff when I was smaller!

[ Oh no, he might've rehearsed this, how adorable. At least he's smiling!! ]

Well, Shi, what's the coolest part about those dreams? [ Hunk's not gonna ruin the mood by saying "because it probably involves horrible monsters," but. Y'know. It probably does. ] Whatever it is, you can probably do it here!
