The House is... it's a strange place. It's hard to explain. It's absolutely infested, though. Literal parasites running the shops in the town... and of course the ridiculous Socialization system... and... you know, I could sit here and tell you about it all day, really, but the most pertinent thing you really need to know is that I did not belong there, and as a matter of fact, was planning my method of escape, I believe, when I woke up here.

... So I suppose in some sense I got out, but that... wasn't particularly what I meant. I needed out of this.
