Definitely antisocial.

the mystery thickens.
Of course, we must determine if the important mystery is “Is this man delusional” before we dive into “what’s his top secret job”.
Hmmm… Preventing death is a pretty good reason.
Heh, guess that sounds good. . . .
Really? In a place loaded with Computer, and video game addicts, nobody managed to explore the buildings around the surrounding area?
Well, A is one of those few explorers… The rest are busy down here I suppose.
Something tells me that his sanity is already history. ><
It’s going around these days.
Looking at the moon in the last panel: Assuming that the sun just set, that moon must be in the north.
But this is set in Alaska, which is in the northern hemisphere, so the moon must be to the south.
Which means that the sun is about to rise.
Either Kiro has spent hours wandering in starlight until she found those kilns,
or her conversation with A has been going on a lot longer than it seems.
That’d be true if it was a full moon, but it’s a crescent moon. So it’s not on the far side of the Earth from the Sun, it’s offset by about 45 degrees.
Elaborating on what Tomas said, because I don’t follow what would require a full moon here.
a) the shiny side of a crescent moon points toward the sun.
b) here, the crescent is pointing left.
c) To put a (recently-set) western sun on the left, the moon has to be in the north.
d) The moon doesn’t orbit far enough north to be seen in the north from Alaska.
e) the easiest way to resolve this is to conclude the moon is in the south and pointing east, toward a sun that’s about to rise.
