Room 2

[testingphase]

[The room, once you've entered it, has a number of ear buds laid out on a table.]

Now, pop those ear buds in and we'll begin the test! Failure to comply will result in desyncing and forcing your team to pay for a replacement body.

Yeah. Takuto—the Gamma with red hair—and Sugata—another Gamma, but he's not taking this test—are here with me, and they're both from the same place I am.

[thirtysteps]

And they're your friends.

[wawko]

[actually, they're her boyfriends, but she figures that might not go over so well with someone from a place that seems to be so long ago in the past]

Yes. They're two of my dearest people.

[thirtysteps]

I don't know whether to call you lucky or cursed that they've been brought here to this place with you.

[wawko]

[bittersweet smile]

I'd say it's both.

[thirtysteps]

But at least it makes you team easier to deal with, I'm sure.

[wawko]

It does. My other teammates are really great as well. How about you? How's Kappa?

[thirtysteps]

I don't dislike them - but truthfully I barely know most of them.

[wawko]

Well, at least you're all getting along? I feel like Gamma's case is really special, since my other teammates all know each other as well...

[thirtysteps]

Aside from the initial death threats it hasn't gone badly. Yet.

And... it does seem that Gamma is in a unique situation. But in a place like this that relies upon a team, this is preferable, perhaps.

[wawko]

D-death threats?

[thirtysteps]

I don't think it's anything to be worried about.

[wawko]

Even so... Who gave you death threats?

[thirtysteps]

Eh-chan.

[wawko]

...Eh-chan?

[thirtysteps]

The one who won't tell anyone anything at all.

[wawko]

...For some reason I'm not too surprised.

[thirtysteps]

She had quite the entrance, at least.

[wawko]

...Making death threats? That is quite the entrance, although I can't blame her.

[thirtysteps]

So do you think I look the threatening type?

[wawko]

N-no! Not at all! I'm sorry if that what it sounded it like. It's just that I can understand why someone would be angry about waking up in a strange, unfamiliar place. It's not what I would do, but I could see people being that upset.

[thirtysteps]

I can't hold it against her either, despite... everything. At least I came out unscathed.

[wawko]

That's good. I hope she still isn't giving you death threats.

[thirtysteps]

Now she's just being exceedingly difficult, as I'm sure you can see. As expected.

[wawko]

Haaa... Good luck with having her as a teammate. She doesn't seem bad, just...stubborn.
