I must've missed the part where it was a simulation.

[ huh! ]

Wait, so you met a younger version of me too.

[stillnot]

Fair enough. We were there and we missed it for weeks.

[ haha. also im losing it at my own memloss. cLAUDE I FORGOT ABOUT HIM ]

A little. We didn't talk much.

[shaft]

[ i see cola... ]

That's alright. I wasn't nearly as charming at that age.

[stillnot]

[ DONT JUDGE ME ]

Oh, now I remember. You jumped out and scared us while we were looking for a body.

[shaft]

Was that a popular decision?

[stillnot]

No.

[shaft]

[ closes his eyes ]

Sounds about right.

[stillnot]

But hey. Makes it a low bar for you to be an improvement.

[shaft]

[ he thinks about it ]

That's true. [ Anyway, ] How would you say today faired against the previous trials you've been in?

[stillnot]

We had a guy attack someone during a trial our first week too. Except he actually killed them.

So, better.

[shaft]

... Nobody stopped him?

[stillnot]

We didn't have time.

[shaft]

I meant the hosts... they have some special powers, don't they?

[stillnot]

The hosts?

[ clementine thinks about their npcs getting kidnapped and being generally pretty useless ]

[shaft]

[ Claude, belatedly realizing that the dorm heads didn't have any powers either. ]

Like the hotel staff. They have teleportation and stuff.

[stillnot]

I'm not expecting a lot from them.

[shaft]

Me neither. But at least they saved Mikazuki.

[ ... sort of ]

[stillnot]

I feel like they could have done more.

[shaft]

... I suppose.

I don't know how invested they are in us.

[stillnot]

Probably not at all. They're just here to do whatever this place needs.

[shaft]

You haven't spoken to any of them?

[stillnot]

I talked to one of them for a little. On the typewriter.

[shaft]

What's your impression?

[stillnot]

They seemed like an idiot.

[ she does not sound bothered by this, though? ]

[shaft]

... Which one was it?
