...uhm. This is odd. After the whole situation in Area Zero, she was sure she wasn't going to get any more messages from his number.

Especially not some asking her about her... anxiety, and stuff. Fresa's eyes go for the math textbook in front her (all full of doodles, most of which of Coco and Miri about to bite Professor Tyme's head off), before frowning.

...going for Penny maybe is a stretch but who else could know about her exam problems and be able to hack into her phone, or use someone else's number, after all?

The City twisted and turned for a few days, now. Maybe weeks. Maybe years. Maybe it's been twisting like that forever. It's not like time is something its residents truly think about.

Not even when a newcomer appears. Not even when that newcomer is a whole area.

The Teracrystals all aronud it destroyed part of the City, a few MissingNos were created. Giant Volcarona-like creatures made of iron twist and break, scream as they become glitchy, broken.

They don't belong here, Zer0 thinks. Not like them. Not like him -- the man who showed up along the Area, busy beeping and booping on his computers. Talking to people outside.

A direct connection with the uncorrupted world.
