WEEK 6

[lockdownmods]

[Week six comes like an ominous wave. If anything, the wall is more threatening that it's ever been. That sign from last week? Looks aged-- like it's far more than just a week old. But more than that, it feels like something is waiting to snap this week. What could possibly go wrong, after last week?

Said no one ever, at this point.

But still, if you look around this week, you might find out something. It's like someone has started leaving clues in places old and new. Take a look around.]

[ What's going on in here?

Terra, on the other hand, is kind of nosy when it comes to these things. ]

Is that...?

[newhire]

Oh! Hello Terra.

[She smiles brightly. He knows.]

It sure is.

[buriedearth]

Hey, Vivi.

[ How many points does he get for being right...?! ]

What made you decide to do all of this?

[ Create herself a new body, that looks like her original self. He's not going to judge or anything (certainly not), he's just honestly curious--then again, she probably wanted to look like she used to, didn't she? ]

[newhire]

It... might seem silly. But I want to help Megumi find herself. And as long as I'm here in this body, she'll never have a chance to live. I don't want to take that away from someone.

Not that I don't like the idea of being back in my own body too. This is nice, but-- it's not. Really me.

[buriedearth]

[ He can understand that at least. ]

I get it. I don't think it's silly at all, actually.

You're just trying to help her too, right?

[newhire]

I think it could be good for both of us. I don't know what she'll choose, but-- she should have that option. At least... that's what I believe.

[buriedearth]

I think so too. Everyone should have the right to choose.

[ Sometimes, Terra thinks he doesn't exactly understand the whole thing with robots all that well, but at the same time...there are times things like this aren't that complicated. ]

...You know, you're a real good person, Vivi. I don't think many people would think much about it, if they were in your situation.

[ Something like that might require just a bit of extra thoughtfulness, he thinks. ]

[newhire]

I spent... a lot of time... with a lot of very... backwards... thinking.

I let my trauma control me. But... because of that... I learned a lot of incredible things. And... my mistakes... are the reason I'm here now.

So... a little selfishly... I'm... sometimes glad. But... maybe it would have been better for everyone... if things... were different...

[buriedearth]

I understand.

[ In that he's been able to find some good things about the people he's met here--so there are times where he's been glad as well. It's slightly different but... he gets that, at least. ]

...I'd like to think it would've been--if we hadn't met in a situation like this or had to have been put through what we had...

[ ... ]

But it's something I wondered about a lot, which wouldn't change anything. So, there's really no point in spending any more time dwelling on it.
