Nice to meet you -- circumstances notwithstanding. I'm not sure it's a good thing that any of us are here, if this inscription is anything to go by, but at least it's safe and quiet. Until the next "stop", anyway.

[ 9S himself doesn't feel particluarly grateful for any of this, but he'll try to put a positive spin on it for this human's sake. Not that... he(?) seems to need any reassurance, as calm as he appears to be. ]
