What?! Don't tell me you're in ViViD right now!

voice;

[emotive]

Unfortunately, that seems to be the case! I'll be able to take care of myself, don't worry! I'll try to team up with other people who got stuck.

voice;

[psycholawgy]

No!

[ god!!! her voice cracks, and she's about to cry. ]

You're going to get hurt!

voice;

[emotive]

... Athena!!

[This is different; Ai's voice becomes serious and it commands attention.]

Listen to me carefully, alright?

voice;

[psycholawgy]

...

[ she doesn't like being yelled at. though when it happens, she heels like a dog. ]

I'm listening.

voice;

[emotive]

Athena, I need you to absolutely believe in me especially in what I'm about to tell you.

If I get hurt, I'll get better. If I have to fight, I'll fight back. Even if I get tired, I'll get back up. Because I had to do all of that even when people started to have less faith in me. You're my friend. And I want your faith more than anyone else before because that way I'll be able to survive better. Is that clear?

voice;

[psycholawgy]

No... I've never doubted you-- but. . .

[ deep breaths. ]

There's a glitch in the game right now.

voice;

[emotive]

What kind of glitch?? I'll still be able to get through this regardless!

voice;

[psycholawgy]

The missions-- you can't win them.

voice;

[emotive]

[Well. Hm.

... Ai can't say she feels any less deterred though.]

Does that mean it comes down to endurance then? Because if that's the case, I'm still maintaining my original plan.

[Gotta stick with more people than just herself after all.]

voice;

[psycholawgy]

Try to stay as safe as you can... you'll only be stuck there for an hour at most.

[ Although in game, an hour can feel like a really long time. It depends on how fun the mission is. ]

And you'll suddenly find yourself back in the city, with the injuries you received, too.

voice;

[emotive]

[Ok, that last part gets her.]

I'll stay safe! You need to stay safe too Athena!

voice;

[psycholawgy]

[ TOO LATE, SHE'S ALREADY INJURED. ]

I'll be safe now.

Be sure to give me an update later, okay?
