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!

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.

That says a lot about the place you lived in... But if we can break out from this tower, maybe you can do something about the place you were?

Well, my world is not that bad... just that before coming here, I was trapped in a school where my classmates and I are forced to kill each other.

And... apparently, I will die if I ever get back because Oowada-kun remembers killing me... But! He didn't do it on purpose! It was an accident. He's really a very nice person and he's been helping me a lot here. He's a good person.

Anyway, that's why it's better for me to stay here.

That's awful... But, if you go back, now that you're warned about it, couldn't you change things? Change the situation so that you wouldn't accidentally be killed that way?

I don't know... and... I'm not really that eager to find out...

...What if you went to someone else's world? One of your friends'.

... can we do that? But... I'd don't want to leave the... person I love.

I don't know, because we haven't figured out a way out yet. But you could go together.

Mn. I hope so... because they are supposed to be dead too in our world...

I'm sure you'll find a way.

I do hope so...

I believe in it.

I... I'll try to believe in that too then!

All right then. That's better.

Mn!

I hope you have good luck with the person you like.

Mn! Thank you, Aleph!

You're welcome. Take care.
