[gamerbrain]

hi

[mukagen]

Aoooooooi!

how are you doing?

[gamerbrain]

aoi is good! how are you?

[mukagen]

it's been awful, actually! this week's weirdo effect is the worst!

[gamerbrain]

it's a good way to streamline backstory

[mukagen]

i guess so... but aren't you uncomfortable with people learning about things without your input or permission?

[gamerbrain]

aoi is designed for consumption, so aoi doesn't mind.

[mukagen]

that doesn't have anything to do with what you personally want...

does this mean that you'll let me peek into a memory?

[gamerbrain]

you wanna see?

[mukagen]

if you'll let me?

[gamerbrain]

sure! we're friends. where are you?

[mukagen]

i've locked myself in my room in hopes that i can escape whatever it is, but we can meet up wherever you want?

[ MAYBE HE WILL LEARN THE TRUTH or he's going to get trolled. I will live through both. ]

[gamerbrain]

[ she does not reply because she's like a fairy: too small to hold more than one thought or feeling at a time!

shortly after, someone clearly tries to open the door to his room even though they cannot unlock it! idiot.

then she knocks. ]

[mukagen]

[ And Gojou will carefully open, peeking through before it slides completely. ]

Welcome, Aoi!

[ Come in, come in. ]

[gamerbrain]

[ she comes inside! ]

Hiya.

[mukagen]

[ And he'll close the door so they're not disturbed. He would hate for more memories to smack them, too. ]

Actually, I'm not sure how this works.

[ It's supposed to just... Happen? ]

[gamerbrain]

I think so...?

[ after coming inside she just kind of? stands there for a bit because it's not like she can trigger it on purpose?

... luckily it doesn't take long for him to get: a pretty innocuous memory! from 38:20 to 41:43. of note: the memory plays out exactly like in the video. like, not from aoi's perspective. it has the user interface, the text, the buttons, the dialogue sprites. it's still got shinichi's internal monologue written out. it is literally that clip in that format. ]

[mukagen]

[ ?????????? Gojou, at first, thinks it's cute, but notices the UI fairly quickly. He has had theories about Aoi possibly being committed to an act... That it's just what she enjoys, but—this is definitely a visual novel. ]

You threw away the cake?

[ Hello? He would have loved that cake? ]

[gamerbrain]

Aoi hasn't yet. But Aoi will, in the future.

In solidarity.

[mukagen]

... I miss that cake already.

[ IT WAS NEVER YOUR CAKE. ]

So that's your friend, right? And the protagonist?

[gamerbrain]

[ she..... nods. ]

Yep. The protagonist and the main heroine.

[mukagen]

You should tell me about them! It looked like you guys were having fun.

[gamerbrain]

But Aoi hasn't met them, yet.

[mukagen]

[ ???? ]

But... It's a memory?

[gamerbrain]

Aoi played the game.
