Entry Log 2 [Video] [Filtered away from Oowada Mondo & Kuwata Leon] [Forward dated to 1 Sept]

[The feed turns on to show a young 'girl' blushing brightly. 'She' shyly averts her eyes and can't quite look at the camera at first then 'she' takes a deep breath and looks into the camera with renewed confidence. 'Her' filters should work after all. This programming prodigy has written the codes 'herself' after all and checked them numerous times. That doesn't stop 'her' from stammering though. This is so embarrassing! But it's been troubling 'her' for a while now and since 'she' has decided to be strong and not run away from anything anymore...]

A-ano... does... does anyone know how one can tell if... if a friendship is perhaps more than just a friendship? How do you tell if you perhaps like someone... more than a friend? How do you know if that person feels the same way or not? I...

[There's a pause... then a frantic...] T-Thank you very much for your kind attention!

Ask-ask them... I...

[But 'I'm a boy and the person I fancy is a boy too and what if they find it digusting that I feel this way about them. I don't want to lose their friendship.' ... yet, he can't really say all that as then he would first need to explain that he is, well, a he and he's not ready to tell someone he hasn't meet before that...]

... but what if they don't feel the same way...? I don't want to ruin what we have now...

They're your friend, aren't they? If so, then your friendship should be able to last.

Mn. They are my friend. A very good friend.

So... even if... they don't feel the same way, we'll still be friends?

Exactly.

Have you ever... experienced anything like that before, sir?

Well... I haven't had many friends, to be honest.

Are you really shy too?

I'm mostly just too busy to make friends. And I don't want to get them involved in my work, because it's dangerous.

I see. What kind of work do you do?

[He doesn't want to tell her 'demon summoning' and 'Messiah' is hard to explain...]

When there's somebody causing a lot of serious trouble, it's my job to get them to stop. Usually they refuse, and then force gets involved.

Oh... are you a superhero of some sort?

Something like that. They call me the Messiah.

Eh? Really? That's amazing!

So if you ever need any help, just ask me, and I'll do my superhero thing.

Mn! I will!

Ah, I'm Chihiro Fujisaki! It's very nice to meet you, Messiah-sama!

Please, call me Aleph. And the -sama isn't necessary.

Just Aleph? Is that... really okay? [He's never really called anyone just like that before...]

It's my name. Messiah is just a title, and I'm not superior to you, so -sama would be a little weird, right?

I suppose so... Mn! Just Aleph then!

Perfect. It's nice to meet you, too.

Have you been here long, Aleph?

Only for a month or two.

I've been here a little longer... about 4 months now, I think.

I hope not much longer.

Mn.

Though I can't really go back... it's much safer here for me than in the place I was.
