I run until I am completely out of breath and stop under a peach tree to sit down and rest.

Tears still streaming down my face, I try my best to calm down and think rationally, knowing that crying won't change a thing.

Okay, so what if I'm lost...I just need to get home...right?

I suddenly realize, I didn't really think about it on the train, but I can't really remember...anything about my life prior to the train.

Feeling more hopeless than ever, I'm about to wallow in my own self pity and start crying again, when a voice snaps me out of my thoughts,

''Piggy, is that you?'' I turn my head towards the deep voice and see another anthropomorphic animal, a pink bear this time.

''Nyet, you're not Piggy...'' He sighs, ''Aw, who am I kidding? She's never coming back...'' He mutters sadly to himself.

I just stare, not sure what to say to that.

'Who are you anyway? I've never seen you around Pig Pen,'' he states curiously, changing the subject.

I'm shocked for a second when I realize the name of the town I'm in. Rover said this was the next stop though, so I shouldn't be surprised...

I get up, smoothing out my dress and look down at the ground. ''Oh...I-I'm Reina...'' I reply shyly.

''I'm Vladimir...So, what are you doing here, anyway?'' He says somewhat agitatedly.

I have nothing to say to that. I just look away, not even attempting to reply.

After a while of not answering, Vladimir speaks again, sounding annoyed,

''Are you just going to admire the perfect peach trees or are you actually going to answer me?'' He continues, seemingly angry now.

Shocked by his hostile tone I glare at the ground, not letting myself cry again...A tear still manages to leak out, I wipe it away quickly, but he notices and says,

''Hey are you okay- I didn't mean-''

I don't catch the rest of what he says as I start to run away again, unable to block out the thoughts whirling through my mind this time,

You can't keep running away from your problems, you'll have to face them eventually...

I stop once again, near a river this time and try my best (once again) to calm down and think.

Okay...so this is the town Rover told me about...I am lost, with practically no memories (except...I have this feeling that a world full of talking animals isn't normal...) but if I tell anyone, they'll just think I'm crazy because they're also animals...

It seems like a hopeless situation in every way, but I know I can't give up.

What do people do when they're lost?..Besides looking for someone to help them...Suddenly, an idea pops into my head, Maybe I should check the brochure...

I pull the brochure out of my dress pocket, I unfold it and look at the front of it, it simply says, 'PIG PEN'. I open the brochure and skim through the text.

...Pig Pen is home to some of the finest perfect peaches! I don't know what they mean by 'perfect peaches', but whatever, this isn't important...

I turn to the next page, nothing interesting...wait...It says, For more information about moving here and registering for a TPC, please visit the town hall.

Well, this could be useful, I don't want to move here permanently, but...

I need to accept that I'll probably end up staying here...at least for a while...

The next page is a detailed map.

This 'town' (if you can even call it that, it's more like a village) is just a small stretch of land, bordered by the sea on almost all sides except for the one side, where it is cut off by the train tracks and shopping district, the map shows where the bridges are, where the river cuts through the town even and where the villagers (of which there are only 6, it seems) live and the key on the right showed that the vacant houses were colored yellow on the map.

This is...also useful, but wow, this town is really small...

I decide to head to the town hall. Even if I don't have any money...I still need to try to find a place to live.
