There's very little Reiji wasn't expecting out of this... poorly-lit carnival adventure. It's a lot easier to keep an open mind when there are multiple dimensions to keep it open for. Glowing, floating, feathered women are unusual outside a deck of duel monsters cards, but the word 'impossible' is one Reiji prefers to keep tucked in a dark box in a back closet--it doesn't get much use with him.

So he doesn't show surprise, and he doesn't show confusion or fear. He stops, squaring his stance evenly next to the ominously still merry-go-round, and declares himself.

"Reiji Akaba."
