Xigbar and I just finished an all-night PSO marathon (the only game both of us will play together for long periods).  He went to sleep finally, and I flipped on the news while I ate some breakfast...only to find out that we have, by order of the national government, been trapped in our own city.  The army has blocked all physical access to the area outside of Hollow Bastion. 

I find the lack of a press conference or any sort of official word from the local government to be highly suspicious.  Also, I fear the creeping dread I had been feeling in light of the growing attacks, deaths, and missing bodies to be more than just entertainment-induced paranoia.  It would not surprise me to find that our leaders have forsaken us for safer territory, leaving us to fend for ourselves in the face of what, at best, is an outbreak of a highly contagious and very lethal disease.
