[It's only somewhat complicated by Emil stopping to peek in nearly every shop window. Everything is so colorful and interesting, he can't help himself.
He does pause at the question and hovers uncertainly in place, giving it some real thought. He's forgotten so much.]
I don't really remember much about the old world, I'm afraid. Sorry. All I have to go on are the reports and Weiss's stories.
You see... a strange disease was spreading, and it was making people all over the world crazy and violent. They called it "the Legion" after awhile. And so many people were dying that everyone thought humanity was doomed. And so, almost all of the humans left in the world underwent a process that was supposed to keep their souls preserved until the last of the disease burned itself out.
[Emil's voice had been fairly quiet as he told a very abbreviated version of the story of how the world ended, but he tries to inject a little more cheer in for the last part. No point dragging this first meeting down with such a depressing story!]
So, my home still has relics from what used to be, huge pieces of metal bridges and stuff like that, but a world that's lasted over a thousand years with no people in it doesn't really have time to maintain thin copper wires or huge crates that move, right?
