I probably wouldn't have been able to talk to Denji without it.

[Pretty embarrassing in hindsight, though...]

But... yeah. With our activities disbanding and everybody back here, it's hard to say what the hell happens now. Hopefully, this is where we can start burning the place down.

[amain]

Yeah. I didn't talk to him until the night of... Just wanted to teach him some reading and writing before he "went."

[ So teaching thoughts only! ]

Would you say we're prepared?

[ Because he doesn't think so. ]

[overlimit]

Probably not. We don't even know if it's a fight we should be gearing up for, or what.

... We're supposed to get one more hint tomorrow, through the Honor Society. Maybe that'll give us some direction.

[amain]

Hopefully it does...

By the way, did you guys get any information from your field trip? I never got word about it or the other group's.

[overlimit]

I did, yeah. Looked like nonsensical garbage to me, but I got a rough translation from Ichiro.

[she'll take out her phone and show him]

Apparently, it references a bunch of stories and TV shows. All pointing to scenes where a main character dies.

[amain]

... Are these really helpful or just ominous.

[ I'm exhausted. ]

[overlimit]

Well... it's a little less ominous, maybe, when you see the other part.

[she'll swipe to show him the other page! which is also incomprehensible, probably.]

... References to the same stories, this time pointing to scenes where those characters come back from the dead. And the header... "sequel ideas."

[amain]

... This sounds a lot more promising, though I wouldn't want a sequel of this place.

[ I HATE THIS FONT and Nier is like it might look nice, but legibility. ]

[overlimit]

Me neither. But it was suggested like it might be a way to get around a crappy ending, so we'll probably want to keep it in mind.

[amain]

... I'd like to believe that, yeah.

Have you considered the wish being real or fake, Rita?

[overlimit]

The wish...?

Haven't been too concerned about it. It could be total bull, so I didn't think it was worth putting my hopes in it.

[amain]

... I guess that is the smart way to look at it. You can't be disappointed when it isn't there.

[overlimit]

[a shrug.] Pretty much.

What about you?

[amain]

[ HE's NOT SURE. If he should say this as he sips his tea. ]

I'm hoping it'll be there since I can't go home otherwise. I'm dead.

[ Like a handful of people in this game. ]

[overlimit]

Wh... what?

You're serious?

[rita shouldn't be surprised by this anymore but she still is, every goddamn time]

[amain]

Yeah, I’m serious. It’s a little more complicated for me, but it’s still essentially dead.

[ Rita just pikagasping at all of the GHOSTS she has met. ]

[overlimit]

... Sorry.

[awkward.]

But you're alive now, right? So... that shouldn't have to change.

[amain]

[ It's fine. ]

... It would seem so. [ He nods. ] But my existence is erased in my world, so any remnant of me is gone. Including memories.

[ Mmm. ]

I'm sure it'll work out.

[overlimit]

Erased...? How can that even happen?

[amain]

... I'm not sure, but it seemed to work.

[ Nier really does not know how it works. A very drakenier trait. ]

Magic seems to be limitless.

[overlimit]

N-no way. Magic can't just do anything, it has its own logic. It's just... hard to comprehend, sometimes.

[amain]

Then I imagine the magic in my world was capable of doing that.
