💝 everyone

💝 - What gestures do they really appreciate? How do you get on their good side?

"Well all you really gotta do is be nice, and gestures aren't really necessary."

"Just be polite and on your best behavior, that's good enough for me."

"I agree with rei, and as long as the person hasn't committed any severe crimes I think i'll get along with anyone okay enough."

"Just be chill I guess, I don't really need a reason for any big gestures really."

"Same, just be kind and we'll be fine."

"Yeah!...Although a gift would be nice."

~

"Just being polite and not interrupting my work, good enough for me."

"Someone who gets along with my friends gets along with me, and as long as they don't hate ag or yuri i'll get along with them anyways just fine."

"Get along with kisa and i'll try to get along with you."

~

"I'm not sure...But I gave gifts to everyone in the virtual sim so that's a good gesture right?"

"Ice breakers would be nice, i'm usually kind and patient with anyone by default but actually getting to know me would be nice."

"If they have class and aren't an asshole, you'll be okay on my book."

~

Bonus 2 electric boogaloo

"If you know some games to play that's a really good ice breaker for me, and a simple handshake would be fine."

"Get me a drink and i'll like you instantly."

[former-proffessor-and-policeman]

😳 TELL ME YOUR SECRETS

"Hm, Teruya and Tsurugi are handsome gentlemen, there that should satisfy you yes?"

~

"Gladly. Teruya's hot, And I love his flustered face its adorable."

"And yoruko is even better, flustering her and seeing her reaction is priceless, and I love her style I just wanna cuddle her."

"Nikei....His eyes are pretty, I could stare into them for hours."

"Sora!?"

"I did not take you as someone who has a type sora."

"Eh? I have a type?"

[former-proffessor-and-policeman]

Dang Yuki, you snapped

"I...I am sorry, I didn't mean to upset kinjo really...I didn't know my words could affect him so much."

"You...Mean a lot to him, even if you never truly met each other. You didn't do it on purpose yuki, its fine."

"I wish I did get to meet him...And you and all our classmates..."

"Well you are meeting us now, and you have new classmates and friends. There is that plus side, don't forget that yuki."

"Right...Just keep moving forward."

"Yeah, I'll just keep moving forward that's the best I can do now."

"Me too, and we'll have each other to help through it."

"At least as long as you decide to stay around I mean."

"I still need to think about that, but i'll stick around the hotel for the time being."

"Take your time with it, and we can just hang out a bit while we figure things out."

"Yeah, I'd like that."

"Uh....Rei...? Its getting really late so you should probably get going, right?"

"Ah yes, We need to get to work. We should be ready to go...I just need to go outside and see if those two are ready."

"And of course while you're here I hope you are reassured on everything and that you enjoy your stay, both of you."

Rei gets up and gets ready to go

[former-proffessor-and-policeman]

"So what exactly are we talking about...?"

"Akane and Utsuro, everything they did. And yuki's involvement."

"Everything...?"

"Yes, we are making sure this situation does not occur again, and to do that yuki needs to know everything. Including the hard to hear stuff."

"...Alright."

Sora along with rei went through the nitty gritty details of the faux test killing game, akane's deception and utsuro taking yuki's name and appearance, what was done to yuki's parents...All of utsuro's crimes against yuki were laid bare, even ones before utsuro had entered hopes peak.

"..."

"Yuki...You know by now i'm not akane taira, but I have her memories, and I use her body...I have no right to even try to apologize for her or utsuro I know she doesn't deserve one."

"Its okay sora...I just...I knew the basic's of it, that she worked with utsuro and kidnapped me...And utsuro cost me my future but..."

"I didn't....I didn't think they'd take all of it away....I thought it was the tragedy that killed my parents....I thought I was living a normal life before...!"

"Yuki I had no idea utsuro had been watching you even before he took your place I...I suppose that answers some things....I hope you'll be able to understand now why tsurugi reacted that way...And that you'll be okay."

"Yuki are you going to be okay....? You won't- This won't turn you will it?"

"N-No its fine...I'm still myself....I just....I could've made so many friends....Made so many memories....And they took all of it from me....Even my own parents I-"

"He...He really took everything...! He took everything from me.....!!"

"Yuki...."

"I'm so sorry...I'm so so sorry!! I'll never be able to live with myself, having these memories and knowing how much they hurt you...!! And then I helped put you through even worse, i'm so sorry...!"

"...N-now now, sora you aren't akane you couldn't do anything about what happened you being here for him is enough and you were originally just an algorithm you can't be blamed for something you couldn't control."

"And yuki....Nothing I can say or do will be able to undo the pain that utsuro and akane's done to you, but I will say i'm proud of the person you've become, and i'm glad you didn't have to witness some of the awful things in our killing game or certain classmates poor behavior...I'm sure your parents are proud of you yuki, i'm certain of it."

"They're....Proud of me...? You're...Proud of me...?"

"Yes...You've grown up well yuki, you've made good friends all on your own and have already learned some things all on your own. Who wouldn't be proud of you for accomplishing so much despite everything you've had to endure? You deserve to be happy yuki, you deserve this future made only by yourself."

"...!"

"I....I.......Thank you...I'm glad i'm moving forward too...And i'll keep moving forward, with sora and yoruko too."

"....!"

"I'll...I'll look forward to it too...Moving toward our futures..together...!"

Sora's and Yuki's bond increased!

Rei and sora's bond increased!

[former-proffessor-and-policeman]

Kisa, bi trio, Tsurugi knows you all went out

"...You could've told us earlier-"

"So it is true, what were you all thinking exactly?"

"M-Mr Kinjo its not their fault miss tomori suggested it-"

"Hey don't throw me under the bus you brat!"

"She's the one that suggested I go too, if anyone's to blame its her."

"WH- Come on I didn't mean ta call you a brat don't do this to me!!"

"Oh boy..."

[former-proffessor-and-policeman]

Well it was very rude of him to throw a cat, also Syobai doesn't agree

"It was."

Sora proceeded to completely turn 180 looking in the distance

"THEY DIDN'T ASK FOR YOUR OPINION"

"I'M GIVING IT ANYWAYS."

"wh- HAS HE BEEN FOLLOWING US THIS WHOLE TIME!?"

"This is pretty normal for syobai to do."

"Well is he going to join us now or something...?"

"Nah, if syobai wanted to eat with us he would've joined us from the get go, he'll probably wait outside."

[former-proffessor-and-policeman]

Okay great, im asking because apparently he is here in town, like right now

"I bet he's bothering yuri right now...That asshole..You should ask what he's up to."

"Sora calm down, if yuri's dad is visiting its not our business, even if we think he might be shady."

"Were out here to eat, so lets not think about it too much."

"Ugh fine, he's not worth my thoughts anyways."

[former-proffessor-and-policeman]

Mikado's logic is ridiculous

"Yeah, he was a dumbass if he actually thought he could resurrect someone with all that bullshit."

"I still don't get what he was trying to achieve by making a utsuro alter ego or whatever..."

"That's not what he was trying to do."

"Huh, what do you mean sora?"

"S-Sorry that just slipped out...But I don't think he was trying to make a utsuro alter ego, I think he was trying to resurrect the actual utsuro through yuki..."

"What!? But how in the world would he do that?"

"I don't know...I just have a feeling."

"Whatever he was trying to do, he technically got half of it. Yuki's got super luck now, it pisses me off still how he still technically won."

"Well at least everyones still alive and his full plan failed."

"Theres so many things we don't have answers to though..."

"Well we don't necessarily need those answers right now-"

"But i'm sure we'll get them answered eventually..."

"That is true..."

"A-And we'll figure it out together."

"Yeah, together!"

"Right...Together."

Sora's bond with yuki increased!

Sora's bond with Yoruko increased!

[former-proffessor-and-policeman]

Juu Kinjou after your besties Yoroko

"Juu kinjo? Who is that exactly...?"

"He is my father kabuya, he's been causing trouble as of late."

"Ooooh I seee...So what does he want with sora and yuki?"

"Actually scratch that, what does he want with sora?"

"Seriously?"

"Sorry yuki but if someones after you after you got you know what, i can only make the obvious assumption."

"Well he's not really after yuki for that reason, apparently juu kinjo sees me as...you know who, and since yuki has divine luck he for some reason wants to use yuki as a way to punish utsuro."

"Wait seriously? And I thought mikado's logic was dumb."

"Yeah...We have to stay at this hotel for awhile until its safe."

"Well at least its safe I guess.."

[former-proffessor-and-policeman]

YORUKO

"In the flesh-"

"Wait. Usually when something bad is happening you guys are around, did they do something? It was them wasn't it."

"What's going on has nothing to do with them, we promise."

[former-proffessor-and-policeman]

So what's the meeting about?

Everyone has gathered in the lobby minus ryutaro and ag

"alright, since everyone's now present we should catch each other up on everything."

"Yeah sounds good."

"Mhm..."

"Well I guess i'll start...We had a pretty big fight at the hospital, I gave me, sora, and a few others some scars."

"Do they hurt?"

"Not anymore but unfortunately my face scary might be permanent."

"That's awful..."

"Eh theres been worse."

"After that everyone got treated, Ms. Rei took teruya's phone and we found...that."

"That?"

"I assume you mean the ai."

"Yes, and it was quite quick in threatening everyone and attempting to rile us."

"Syobai came in and threatened it back and got it to go away."

"And then it went over to kagarin's place, said some bullshit, And by the time I got there he was completely out of it."

"We were caught up thanks to monocrow recording everything."

"So that's why he was so upset...Poor yuri, this is the third time too."

"This has happened three times before!?"

"Unfortunately yes, we'll be taking precautions and learn from all this so it does not happen again."

"Adding to that, Juu kinjo is heavily involved in all this and apparently he's after me and yuki."

"Wha- Why!?"

"Sins of the past and all that."

"Oh..."

"And what's happened on your end?"

"Well ag started going haywire, some kind of video in his code fucked him up real bad."

"Yuri came and fixed him but he and ag got into a really bad fight and ran away..."

"This should've been expected...Literally saved and the first thing he does is start a yelling contest."

"In his defense though if its like hibiki's case he probably just woke up out of nowhere and didn't know what was even going on..."

"He was like...Hibiki...?"

"Yes, the video he saw in his program was so bad he was completely out of it after a few minutes."

"Why would something like that be in his program though?"

[former-proffessor-and-policeman]

sooo....what do we do now?

~Awhile later~

"Were here."

"Good timing, my body was getting stiff."

"Same here...I just want to eat and then sleep..."

"Before we do that we'll have to talk with the other bozo's yeah?"

"We plan on doing that yes...But it isn't necessarily your responsibility."

"It kinda is, i'm going."

"If Syobai's going I am too."

"I guess i'm kinda involved by default so yeah.."

"Well if everyone else is I guess i'll join too."

"While the help isn't necessary...its appreciated."

"Well lets go then."

Everyone exited the car and headed inside the hotel."

[former-proffessor-and-policeman]

You should probably talk to Nikie, Sora

"I already talked about this with yuki but the summary of it is, utsuro's still inside yuki, The process just got interrupted and stopped him from completely resurfacing."

"It seems like the time out of the sim's undone some of the progress too so yuki's fine for now, but with what's coming theres a chance it could start happening again."

"Yeah but you said you'd get rid of him didn't you?"

"Yeah, but it won't be easy and I have to also figure out how to get rid of utsuro without getting rid of the divine luck."

"Wouldn't getting rid of divine luck be a good thing?"

"Are you fucking stupid? What do you think will happen to me and the other voids if we get rid of it!? And any people yuki's helped will be randomly screwed over, what you want his accomplishments to be for nothing!?"

"I wouldn't call those accomplishments but he has a point...Plus I'm not sure what'll happen to your body if it disappeared sora..."

"Even so, with everything that happened yuki I don't want you to have to suffer the burden of divine luck, you can just barley control it and figure it out. It wouldn't matter if everyone else was happy if you were suffering in the process...You'd just end up the same as him!"

"And that's why shiina's helping me adjust to it, so I can live my life with it while also helping others. I'm not going to be selfish like utsuro was and just get rid of it so I can be happy, other people need divine luck and i'm perfectly fine with being the one to help those people."

"I know what the stakes are in having it, I know it'll make my days more boring than usual or have assholes get on my case because they want to take advantage of it, I don't care about those risks: I'll take them as they come."

"The only thing I want is to get rid of utsuro. I want him completely out of my life, even if it's just an alter ego or something like that...I just want utsuro gone from my life."

"And Juu Kinjo wants utsuro completely gone possibly, and that's why we need divine luck more than ever. Whatevers going to happen, its going to be bad we'll need all the advantages we can get."

"...I understand, I'll respect your decision yuki..And i'll do what I can to avoid trouble."

"..Yuki, I was made to protect you from any threat, and while i'm trying to break from that purpose...Will you let me protect you just this one time?"

"...If you really actually want to...Sure."

"....Alright then, well is that everything then."

"Yeah that's pretty much everything...You can go now."

"Okay...Good talk I guess."

Yuki headed back and Sora was starting to follow behind him until nikei grabbed sora by the wrist.

"Not you sora, We still have unfinished business together."

[former-proffessor-and-policeman]

Did Yuki wanna speak to Sora too?

"Ah no I didn't have to speak with her about anything...I don't know why I was even brought up."

"well if syobai said we should both talk to nikei, then we should...He's usually got good instincts."

"Besides I don't want to talk to nikei alone...His anger scares me."

"Seriously?"

"Nah, nikei is hardly a threat to me."

"But still its a good idea to be cautious, and I do really prefer having someone with me."

"Alright...I'll come with you, lets hope its important."

[former-proffessor-and-policeman]

Rei, get rid of the phone

"You...How dare..."

"Why can't you just leave us alone!? All you've done since we found you was hurt people!"

"And while you're at it, maybe leave ag alone too? He has a life outside you now ya know you shouldn't force him to become something he's not just because you deem his actions as too imperfect."

"One, I merely stated facts and thoughts. You all asked me questions, and I answered. I didn't have to waste my time by talking with you all, but I decided to be polite."

"Second, I made him and therefore he is MY property. I am aloud to do whatever I wish with him once I find him, besides its not as if he can do anything right now with the state he's most likely in right now."

"What does that mean...?"

"Just like how I programmed him with instructions, I programmed him to have a stand by program using a unique method, he won't be going anywhere until I find him."

"...You know what? I have had quite enough of you, you said you didn't have to talk to us...Well then we don't have to tolerate you."

"You have already attempted manipulating the others and its only been a few minutes! I am quite sick of it, so i'll be shutting you off now, you damn son of a bitch-!"

"Go ahead, that just means I can go find "Ag" and continue with what I was doing before meeting Mr Otori."

"...And while I'm at it, I might as well pay a visit to a certain space man as well, seeing as I have certain words for him."

"What!?"
