In an apartment in Academy City's Family Side apartment complex, a man meets his wife at her computer. It is the night of August 16th in that City of Science."

"Kenjiro, do you remember that program you made for me?"

"Hmm? Which one?"

"The one that finds red-eyed kids."

"Oh... yeah... You found one?"

"I found three actually, this girl, and these two boys."

"I see, Kido Tsubomi, Kano Shuuya, and Seto Kousuke... So what do you want to do with them?"

"I want to adopt them..."

"Really? Why?"

"Well, because they're going to be treated terribly, and they don't have any parents..."

"They're orphans?!"

"Yes, the girl was orphaned just yesterday, in a house fire. Her father burned their house down because his father went bankrupt, and the other two they all come from the same orphanage, too."

"... How long have they been there?"

"Less than a year, that's why we never found them before, I only run it once a year after all..."

"... Why not just set them up at an Academy City Orphanage?"

"... Because they're all Child Error facilities, for one thing, and they're sort of my responsibility. They're descended from my ancestors... All the Medusa Children are..."

"Oh, yeah, all Medusa Children are descended from the people in your hometown... Hey, speaking of your hometown, where is it?"

"It's in the south, on a mountain... Hey, did I ever tell you why I ran away from home?"

"No, not that I remember..."

"Well, I ran away because my parents wouldn't let me study Archeology."

"Really, that's it?"

"That's it? What, were you expecting some kind of large rambling story about how my parents beat me, and I was bullied out of my town... and then exiled on top of that, then I fled to the streets having to survive on my own, fighting for my life everyday, doing drugs or... or... prostituting myself? Or something just as crazy?"

"Err... not exactly, I just didn't expect it to be so simple..."

"Well, it was, okay? Wait... how long ago was it? I was 16 when I left, so it's been, what... Ayano's 6, We were 20 when she was born... Wow... it's been... 10 years... Maybe I should write them a letter or something..."

"Maybe... I guess, we should get to bed... Man, I wish it was Friday instead of Thursday..."

"Yeah, Let me finish writing down some things... Letter to parents... Live where when adopt kids... Petrified Statues with Psychometers (Need Multiple for time range = Hours...) Funding... What else is there?"

"Mmm... I guess what to tell Ayano, set up some Vacation Time to go to your hometown... Research possibilities if the Legend is not AIM based... (Doesn't seem like it anyways, AIM doesn't cause eye color changes...)"

"That's all, I think... let's go to bed and work on this tomorrow night..."
