If there wasn't something, there'd be no point, right? Like... who would willingly take up knitting besides someone's grandma?

[factoring]

Somebody who's very bored...? If there's nothing else to do I can understand it.

[ She lives to work, she'd just do it for something to do. ]

[teenrebellion]

If it's Shibuya, there has to be plenty to do. That place isn't popular for nothing.

[factoring]

That's true, we have an Apple store here.

[ She can finally wikidive after all these weeks! ]

[teenrebellion]

What! No fair!

[factoring]

I felt like I was languishing away on that side... No computers, no wifi. Hehe.

[teenrebellion]

We still don't have wifi!

[ the absolute despair of a teen who grew up with the internet ]

[factoring]

Even now?

[ She hates this for you. ]

[teenrebellion]

Even now! It's the worst! You'd think being dead would at least let us have free wifi!

[factoring]

You're not dead.

[teenrebellion]

I mean, if you believe the reapers, we all are? You're just kind of... dead twice over, I guess. I have no idea how it works.

[factoring]

[She goes quiet for a moment, considering something.]

Things are not as they seem... None of us were ever dead until we were Erased here.

[teenrebellion]

...What do you mean?

[factoring]

You aren't dead. But everyone who was Erased over the course of this game is.

[teenrebellion]

What do you mean we're not dead? How do you know?

[factoring]

I can't say everything right now.

[But I want to.]

I would call it a mix up... Either way, we weren't supposed to be here.

[teenrebellion]

Oh my god. [ he just. looks kind of distressed. ] Somehow it keeps getting more fucked up and it was already pretty bad.

[factoring]

It really is awful.

[teenrebellion]

...So do you guys know who's responsible, then? You don't have to tell me who. But if we know, then I think we all deserve a chance to punch them for this.

[factoring]

I don't know. Or at least, I don't have a name or a face for this.

... The punching does seem cathartic.

[teenrebellion]

Damn it. Maybe we'll find out this week, then.

...I'd like to see you punch someone. You deserve it - especially after last week.

[factoring]

[Her expression fuzzes out but it really looks so exhausted for a moment before going to thoughtful. Somehow that really was the singular worst week of her life.]

We all deserve to punch whoever brought us here.

[teenrebellion]

And I intend to follow through on it as soon as we have a chance.

[factoring]

We all have that right.

[Eight weeks of this!!]

[teenrebellion]

[ ugh. ]

Soon, hopefully.

...Did you get to talk to Wolfwood-san about everything?
