[Chiaki was sitting at home playing a very hard game. She appeared to be trying to shoot everything on the screen, but so much was going on it was hard to tell how well she was even doing, but her score kept going up and up. Chiaki herself for a change wasn't solely focused on the game itself. After all how else would this have been turned on.

She soon found herself speaking while playing the game at the same time, still slowly getting her level up.]

What happened in Attleton was.... interesting to say the least. Confronting one's fears... [She paused to finish the level before moving on to the next level. She was still multitasking.]

It's hard to face something like that. I found it hard to but... it also helped me learn something. That... I should confront my fears even though the person I had to face is terrifying and... insane if I had to put a word to it. But I also have learned to move forward, to keep moving forward even if those I care about most aren't here anymore.

[Her usually straight lined face slowly changed to a smile.]

It might not happen overnight, but I will keep moving forward and doing my best. Keep creating the bonds that I have with friends that are still here and have hope that no matter the tough times that may happen, that we will all get through it.

[She finally finished the final level and the score above appeared to be the perfect score.]

On that note... I am wanting to do something that isn't game related. I have a few ideas, but I want to know if anyone wants to do something as a group or not?

[gamerrep]

Oh, I would have never guessed it was from your school.

[she guessed that one because why would you quote a random school motto? She smiled slightly regardless.]

I see. I like to hope I am right, but with someone saying that... I guess it is true.

[mortal_son]

[ When your stupid school motto drove home the point that making friendships and bonds with others only made you stronger, of course. Never mind that Shinjiro didn't really pay much attention himself to that kind of thing.

He saw the value in it, all the same. ]

... You're all right after all that, then?

[gamerrep]

Yes, I mean what happens will always be a part of me, but pushing forward is always the best idea.

[She gave a small smile.]

So of course. I am also going to do my best to create lifelong bonds with people here.

[mortal_son]

... You're right 'bout that, trust me.

[ Nods. It's what he's been saying to Akihiko for ye- well. The Akihiko from his time, before he came here. Recently, he had to stop being a hypocrite, and follow his own advice. ]

And, if it ever happens again. No knowin with this place, if it will. But, if it does? You'll have people you trust in your corner.

[gamerrep]

Right.

[She paused for a moment, she was, in fact, trying to think about what the next thing she was going to say would be.]

Do you have goals whole you are here?

[mortal_son]

Uh.

[ The question caught him off-guard. He could answer her honestly, because she had seen his own fear, but he hedged instead. Shinjiro still didn't really want to talk about what happened with a stranger - and unless they remembered the Shadow thing, and were frightened about a repeat performance, he didn't think he owed her a reassurance.

Still, he answered with a touch of honesty - ]

Just. Figurin out how to live a normal life. I guess. Without any of the sh- ... stuff that I dealt with at home.

[gamerrep]

And I hope that you can figure that out. I will believe in you for that.

[She seemed quite honest as she spoke, putting her thumb up with a smile before lowering her hand. Chiaki knew what her own goals were as well, but she knew it will take a while to maybe achieve them.]

Maybe you could explore the big city subarchways while you figure it out.

[mortal_son]

Thanks.

[ He did a lot more exploring when he first got here - but by now, he'd settled into a routine. But it wasn't a bad idea, to keep looking around. ]

Yeah. Least the ones which are open to everyone.

[gamerrep]

There are some which aren't open to everyone?

[She had been aware of those that might not be, but she hadn't seen any that were no others allowed.]

[mortal_son]

Uh. Yeah.

[ Looks off to the side a bit. ]

Trust me - if they say an archway is off limits, they've probably gotta good reason for makin it that way.

[gamerrep]

I will keep that in mind, make sure I know before randomly going in any.

[Which is rare, she usually plans things out before doing anything.]
