Oh my god. It sounds like a bad movie or something.

Church-san, that's rude!

[ ... she knows it's kind of true ]

What? It does! What reason did he even have for getting all murdery?

… [ Hff. ]

He wanted revenge for the child who created him … Sawada Hiroki. He died.

...And he thought going after other kids would get him that? Ugh.

The news reports said that his plan was to "reset the country". Like I said … almost all of the kids there were the next generation of politicians and big business owners.

If they had died, Japan would have been devastated.

That's fucked up. Just... everything about the whole thing.

[ A slow, tired nod. ]

[ God, it's getting late. ]

Yeah ... Puma freaked out when I told him about it.

No surprise there. Guy's got enough issues with AIs as it is.

He's getting better, in some ways ...

Yeah, this place seems to be good for him. You especially.

[ OH NO ]

I, I ... ah ...

What?

[I'M SORRY DID I CAUSE A FEEL]

[ YES U DID, JERK. ]

I-It's different ... Hearing it from somebody who knew him back then.

[ No matter how often she's been in his head because of shard roulette. ]

Well, I mean. Obviously he's still doing worse than he was back before all the, y'know.

[MAKES A VAGUE GESTURE]

But he could be way worse.

… M-Mmm. I know. I … [ a pause, and a sigh. she laces her fingers together, fidgeting. ] I've seen a lot of his memories.

It's kinda funny ... when we first met, Aoko was the one reminding him think critically about his situation. About the people in power. [ Now she's the one dragging him off to the side to tell him to cool his goddamn tits. ]

Yeah, I can imagine. [He pauses.]

He's gotten a lot of memories about the Project back, right?

[ She has to think about that. ]

Yeah, quite a few. Why?

No reason, just wondering.

[SUPER CASUAL]

[ staaaaaaaaaare ]

... are you looking forward to him remembering more about you?

Pff, I wouldn't have asked about the Project if it was about that. I never got to meet anyone back then.

[ grump ]

If the Director ever turns up here I'm gonna punch him.

[ GRUMP GRUMP ]

But if that's not it, why were you asking?

[Darkly:] I'd do a lot more than just punch him.

It's, uh. I was just kinda wondering about something, but. It'd probably be weird.

… [ If he had hair right now, she'd fluff it. As it is, she just kind of leans against him more, head thunking against his shoulder. ]

Aoko calls dibs.

[ Because Reasons. ]

[ MORE IMPORTANTLY … ]

Ask me anyway? I can't promise I'll know the answer—or that I'll be able to tell you … but it can't hurt.

[He glances at her a little, uncertain how to feel about all this closeness, but doesn't comment on it.]

Well, uh... d'you think he'd be okay with letting me see some of those memories?
