Well I don't know how much I like being called Jules but it'd probably be taken as a slight to reject that. At least they didn't just lop off the 'n'.

Well hopefully it's not a gambling thing otherwise... Well I can't exactly lose my shirt now, can I?

I'll follow along. Hopefully it's somewhere I won't get kicked around as much.

I see, so were continuing down to an even lower tunnel. Dotted lines are more vertical? I suppose the lower tunnels get dark?

Well... There's a few way to read into 'most of the street kids appear of European descent'. One is 'they're discriminated against', another is 'there's tensions between ethnic groups'. Though there might be 'Lawin and Muggragle are a minority and/or they can move in more on the z-axis and keep to themselves'. Though between this and Graco asking about 'taller responsible people' I have a sneaking suspicion being short might be part of it. Everyone Julian's seen has been (apart from Ump and Co.) are of the four named groups, right?
