Hello, this is Naoto Shirogane. I... seem to have been evicted from my overlay, one Mako Adams.

Do not attempt to tangle with him. While his actual powers are much less than people have been led to believe, he is crafty, and an excellent pistol shot. I will be taking him out myself after removing a few things from his apartment.

Thorne-san, Malik-san, Tim-san, Zed-san, my most sincere apologies.

They know we are here, but they are mostly unaware of who we are or what we do.

Once I have taken a few moments, I will be back and see what I can do.

[Private to Kanji]

Kanji? If you are yourself, as I believe you are, could you come to Liminal Space? I... could use some company.

No kiddin'.

[Man, does Junes even exist in this world? He's not thought to check online to see... eh. Probably not worth it.]

Just lemme know if there's anythin' else I can do for ya, okay? Want a drink or anything?

[shiroganeheir]

Yeah.. er, cold matcha latte?

[It's one of her favorites, along with strawberry ramune.]

Thank you, Kanji, I apologize for being such a mess.

[truerevelation]

Comin' up.

[There, one latte. He shakes his head as he passes the drink over.]

You ain't gotta apologise for that. That sorta crap's gonna get to anyone.

[shiroganeheir]

Still. Controlling my emotions is one of the most basic things I have taught myself. I should not need to explode like that.

[truerevelation]

[Kanji sighs softly. He knows how hard trying to keep control is, after all.]

You kept it together on the network 'n that's better than a lotta people could do.

[shiroganeheir]

It would be useless to break down over the network. No one would get any benefit from it, especially myself.

[She sighs.]

Now, however, I need a plan for going forward.

[truerevelation]

[He smiles at her, gives her a nod.]

Alright. Let's get ya up 'n running again and we can work out how to take that asshole down.

[shiroganeheir]

[She takes a breath and nods.]

Thank you, Kanji. I think the first order of business would be to get back to see how he is proceeding now that he knows I exist.

[She'll go... eventually. After she has a few more sushi and some more snuggle.]

[truerevelation]

[Yeah, he can provide as much of either as needed right now.]

Makes sense. See what sorta thing we're gonna have to deal with.
