( Now he's just spinning the globe awkwardly to distract himself as he tries to explain, )

It's weird.

( He doesn't even really know how to explain it. )

Ya know there are a lot of us from "Japan," right? But if ya start talking to everyone... things don't match up. Events happen in the past that never happened and there are things that weren't there before. ( Wars that never happened, worlds that are convinced demons and spirits aren't real. ) You and me are both from Japan but I bet if we really started talking, something wouldn't sound right at all and that's cause we're talking about different Japans.

( Did he explain that right? Hmm. He's still figuring it out, )

But some things are the same 'cause it's still Japan. The country's still closed off, the emperor loses power and the shogun rises... The same names show up but sometimes they aren't the same guy...

I dunno. ( He's still spinning this globe, almost anxiously now. It bothers him! It makes things really complicated!!! ) It's a lot to figure out!
