What's going on-- [She slips in spilled soda and falls on her butt in the mess, the tote back sliding off her shoulder and scattering school books, shonen manga, a wallet, and bits of paper that look like random notes in a pile over the plane.]

Hm. I haven't been here very long, but I've been talking to people. The way in is the way out, and people can bring in things that they find at home. Someone told me that if you try going to another town, the Twins and their cottage just follow you there. I'll see if that's true pretty soon.

You would have to be blind to not see a new cottage where Granny's hut was burnt down! No, the shop is invisible to the others. They're seeing what they want to see, which is nothing at all.

That's so weird...

Not really. Most people see what they want to see, or believe what they want to believe.
