This place is complete bullshit. Every time I try using this crap 'technology' it up and breaks like the useless junk it is. And if one more bloke tries copping a feel of my arse, I'm locking the whole bloody city up. You hear me, brat? You're whole bloody city, nicked. Don't think I won't.

And Tyler. You and I need to talk.

Are you in someone else's reality? Because a lot of us who were switched are experiencing similar things.

I'm stuck in a city full of gooks who think I'm a bloody twat of a girl.

[Ignoring the language.] Ms. Hashimoto's world.

You should watch yourself. The realities have been getting increasingly dangerous. Some people have been attacked.

I'd rather they come at me like men than this tessie poofter nonsense.

Guv?

Your reality about as gobbed up as mine?

[Looks away, smirking a little.] I think I'd prefer this stupid switch to just be over. It's gotten rather tiring.

If you're talking about our city, Fumie and Mu were all right last time I checked on them. If you're talking about Minato's world, it's... it's been all right. But it's been getting worse, and I'm getting the feeling that this is just the start.

Could deal with that, too.

Good. About time something interesting happened 'round this hell hole.

[long pause, idly pulling out a cigarette before glancing at Tyler again] What d'you think's gonna happen after this?

While you may enjoy it, Guv, there are people who aren't used to this sort of thing. I'm worried about them.

[frowns; something is up] Everything goes back to how it was, I'd wager.

[snorts] You would be.

Right. [long draw, sharp silence] And just what does that mean, then?

What's going on, Guv?

When you say back to normal, are you talking about 'Hyde' or actually going home?

[hesitates; then, his eyes search through Gene's face, trying to read in his expression what's going on] Status quo, Guv, has been your Manchester for a while now.

Mm. I'm getting sick of being a guinea pig.

That doesn't answer my question, Tyler.

Not much for being a pawn, myself. Then again [claps his hands together] hunting out the bastard behind all this is part of the fun.

Right, then: I think we'll go back to Manchester after. Does that answer your question?

[doesn't answer for a long time, finishing his cig, then shrugs, crushing the remainder of the fag beneath his heel] So which is home?

...Isn't this a bit... girly, for you? Talking about home. Not your style.

[glares] Don't dodge the question, Tyler. You've got your bloody technology and future and 'Hyde' here and now, with this bullshit reality. So which is your choice: Manchester or ... this?

[Smirk.] You have an interesting definition of fun. But I think I agree with you.

I don't shirk the paperwork for nothing.

Minato's reality, for all it's technology, isn't where I'm from. It's three years, half the world, and a whole universe apart.
