There's something we've forgotten.

And it's.... interesting.

"I know, Souji. It truly is up to you. If you would prefer I give you a detailed account of what happened, I can do that. If you would prefer to see at least some of it, I can do that as well."

She shrugs. She's tired and basically existing on pure stubbornness at this point in time.

[fridgeninja]

"... I'm worried," he says after a moment. "You haven't been looking after yourself. If you show me, do you think you'll be able to sleep afterward?"

[shiroganeheir]

"I am not sleeping well anyway. Whether I show you or not will not necessarily affect my sleep patterns." She sighs, burying her face in her hands for a moment. "I will be alright. If I can do this and make a difference, things will be better."

[fridgeninja]

"In that case, I want you to show it to me. We'll find a way to make it count. Together?" The question is a little tentative, a little scolding.

[shiroganeheir]

"Always together." She shakes her head, blushing a bit. "I'm sorry I haven't been letting you in more. I'm too damn stubborn for my own good."

[fridgeninja]

"I like that part," he says. "You need space sometimes to be you. But you can still come and talk to me, you know."

[shiroganeheir]

"I know. I'm just not used to that. I'm... stubborn sometimes. Too stubborn for my own good."

A pause, and she leans against him. "I like that part too."

[fridgeninja]

He wraps an arm around her shoulders to keep here there.

"Good. All right. Then... it's probably time to show me what happened."

[shiroganeheir]

She leans into his embrace, and reaches over, entwining her fingers with his. "You know, I think SHIRO wanted to do something like this with SETA, but did not know what to do with those emotions." It's irrelevant, but it's running through her mind.

A tiny moment passes, and then her eyes flash golden-yellow for a moment and the Interface starts.

Everything spins for a moment, and then, almost surprisingly quickly, Souji seems to be standing in the hallway of Yasogami, during what seems to be the Culture Festival.

However, everything is... off. The students are not students he would recognize, and even some of the decor and exhibits are different. He would also likely notice that he is almost a foot shorter, and seeing everything through Naoto's eyes.

Naoto's voice fills his mind, a tiny bit mechanical. If you are to see things, you have to experience them through my eyes. I could be with you if we were experiencing a static space, however, as what I would like to show you are events, you will have to experience things as I did.

[fridgeninja]

I always try to see things from someone else's point of view. So, I guess you could say this is an opportunity. His mental voice is light, just casual enough to be sure he's serious and not quite kidding. Still... I don't recognize anyone here. Is that part of what's going on?
