[ he's so valid... todomatsu doesn't really like talking about personal stuff in the first place, so getting all these questions about what happened is killing him. ]

Yeah! I mean— [ hold on let him cough for a minute ] —that's weird, right? There wasn't even a system error like last time.

Mm. They said everything was meant to happen this time, which likely put some people less on guard.

[ he hopes not too many people, considering someone still died. ]

But if they expect us to go on lockdown every week, should we also expect this to happen too?

[ man just cancel the tour and go home ]

Was it just someone taking advantage of that?

[ knowing how the lockdown works and that people would be less guarded this time. ]

...But why would they? Last week was one thing, but...

[ that was kind of a perfect storm of factors to make a reliver snap. as fucking bad as yesterday was, he doesn't see how there would have been something like that again. ]

When I spoke to Scien after, some of the things he said didn't really make sense, even taking account the flaws of his technology. The breakdown doesn't really occur until they're overstimulated, but nothing would have done that to him until after he attacked Dahut-san.

So... what made him do it? He said he just suddenly had an urge to examine his memory bank, out of nowhere.

[ he feels like absorbing everyone's feelings about watching luke die in front of them is a perfectly plausible source of overstimulation, but. ]

Yeah, that's... what he told me too. He seemed confused about it himself. He was mixing up conversations they had on different days.

It was more uncertain since we already knew they were malfunctioning, but...

[ as far as they are aware this week does not have the same excuse. ]

Then there's whatever that hostile warning is.

[ me looking at the clock like wait why are we awake ]

Yeah, what the hell was that about? Is whatever it is going to be in there until tomorrow? Was it— [ coughs ] —in there with us??

[ he was in that food court... and so was viktor... ]

[ I fell asleep as soon as I got this notif it was like clockwork ]

Is it still going to be there tomorrow? We would have to go in...

Ugh... not it.

It would be really irresponsible of the others to let us even if we wanted to.
