When he first came to, Arthur was standing in the center in the center of a circular plaza paved with colorful tiles. He had no idea of where he was, or even who he was. The only thing that he knew was that his name was Arthur. 
 
 Around him, three people were walking aimlessly, and an old man was sitting in the shade under a roof. Not one of them paid him a second glance. Arthur tried to move, but his legs would n't obey him. A flash of panic overcame him, but then he could move again. He furrowed his brow slightly, and looked at his legs. Something felt slightly off, but he could n't put his finger on it. Then, shrugging slightly, he walked up to the closest person. 
 
 `` Um...'' Arthur stopped speaking. That was strange. His voice sounded slightly different, almost as if he was listening to himself speak on the telephone. The woman in front of him did not turn to look at him and kept walking. She took three steps forward, then turned right 90 degrees and took two steps. Arthur watched her precision with fascination, then shook his head. 
 `` Excuse me, miss.'' The woman turned to face Arthur and replied to him. 
 
 `` Yes?'' Her features seemed fake to Arthur, almost plastic. Her brown hair parted exactly in the middle of her forehead, and there was not a single stray strand. She stood completely still, not moving in the slightest. Arthur pondered about this for a moment, but then continued. 
 
 `` I was just wondering if you could tell me where I am.'' 
 
 The woman looked slightly surprised. `` Why, you're here, of course.'' 
 
 Arthur laughed slightly, and then tried asking his question in a different way. `` I'm sorry, I mean to ask what place this is. And might I have your name?'' 
 
 The woman, still surprised, answered his questions. `` This is Village Alpha. Everyone knows that. And I'm Mary.'' 
 
 Arthur nodded. `` Thank you Mary.'' Then Mary turned and went back to walking. Three steps forward, turn, three steps forward. Arthur looked at her for a while, the walked away. 
 
 `` Village Alpha,'' he muttered to himself while heading towards another person. He seemed to dimly remember hearing something like that before, but he could n't... quite... And then it was gone. However, in it's place came a massive headache. Clutching his head, Arthur went up to the nearest building and leaned against it. 
 
 `` Are you okay, sonny?'' 
 
 Arthur jolted, then looked around. He frantically looked left and right, but could n't see anything. Sighing, he relaxed again and muttered to himself, `` I must be hearing things.'' 
 
 `` Are you okay, sonny?'' The voice asked again in the exact same tone. 
 
 `` AAAHHH!'' Arthur yelled and fell on his side, hard. None of the three walking around paid him any notice. Then the voice came again, this time from directly above him. Arthur twisted his neck and looked up at the face of an old man smiling at him. 
 
 `` AAAAHHHH!'' He let out a second cry, quickly sat up. `` Wh-Where did you come from?'' Arthur stammered. 
 
 The old man chuckled. `` I was always here, sonny.'' Arthur scowled, then got up and walked away. As he passed a window, he saw something moving out of the corner of his eye. He whipped his head around, and, seeing nothing looked back at the window. His expression became one of shock when he saw a face with short blond hair and blue eyes, a face that most definitely was n't his. He lifted his hand slowly, and so did the man in the window. Arthur slowly got closer to it. 
 
 `` This is n't me...'' he murmured to himself. He touched the glass, trying to see inside, but only seeing the reflection of a blond haired man. `` THIS IS N'T ME!!'' he yelled as he pounded the window with his fists. But it did n't break. 
 
 There was something so horribly wrong with this place. Why would n't the stupid window break? And why... Arthur realized with horror that he was n't feeling any pain, even as he pounded the window again and again, smashing against it with so much force that the whole building seemed to shake. 
 
 `` Where the hell am I?!''
