[showhost]

You worked up your courage and asked someone out on a date! Good job!





Now you have to hope the producers are kind re: where they send you.

[singurarity]

Fair enough! I really hope everyone can find love, if they're looking for it.

--Well, they will, I'm sure of it.

[aspirings]

That's the spirit! And for everyone who isn't searching for love... my goal is to see them leave the show satisfied, whatever that may look like for them.

[singurarity]

Akechi-kun said he wants to just... go live anywhere else. I think that might be good for him.

[ yeah. ]

[aspirings]

[yeah]

... At a certain point... a fresh start is the kindest option someone can be offered, right?

[singurarity]

Yeah... that's what I think, anyway. I think he's willing to work towards it, at least.

[ So that's something. ]

[aspirings]

And you've been encouraging him in that, have you?

[singurarity]

Yep! Of course I have.

[ Like. This is only a natural thing to do? ]

[aspirings]

[I mean, he agrees, so.]

He's a lucky young man to have your support, Ritsuka!

[There's a gust of wind, which rocks them a little bit, though Tsukasa is still definitely peering out without too much concern for it.]

[singurarity]

...

[ Just gently tugs on the back of his shirt. ]

I support all my friends and singular informant!

[aspirings]

[That's probably wise. He does look over his shoulder at that, expression a little quizzical, but is still kind of leaning out a little to look at everything.]

Yes, I know you do.

[PEAK RITSUKA, REALLY.]

Ah, look over there. I wonder where we are, to be able to see mountains and an ocean both from the same vantage point?

[Mystery world...]

[singurarity]

Did they not tell you?

[ Like? At all? ]

[aspirings]

[...........]

I didn't even realize this wasn't Japan until I specifically asked about it after Sakamoto's questions...

[A deep, heavy haaaaa.]

As for what sort of other world this is... I haven't got a clue.

[singurarity]

I guess technically, that means the sky's the limit, right?

[aspirings]

Right, of course!

[...]

... What does that mean, exactly?

[the sky's the limit of what]

[singurarity]

Of what world this could be!

[ A sage nod. ]

It feels like a modern enough world, at least.

[aspirings]

[he still doesn't really get it... but maybe he's just overwhelmed by the concept of other worlds still and isn't using his imagination.

Maybe he just can't imagine anything weirder than his SEKAI.

The world will never know.]

That is true. But not super sci-fi, either. The house seems pretty normal, all things considered.

[singurarity]

Maybe it's like some kind of alternate version of Earth?

[ Mysterious. ]

[aspirings]

I suppose...

[He does not see why but.

Sure!!]

I suppose it might be too much to bring people from many other worlds to one standard earth.

[singurarity]

... Aww, look at you. You've really adjusted.

[ She's so proud. "Many other worlds." ]

[aspirings]

Ah... well, thank you.

[A bit of a shrug... he doesn't think it's anything special.]

Given that I have the evidence in front of me, I can't exactly deny it...

[singurarity]

Well, you know, Anna-chan still thinks Lessing is cosplaying...

[aspirings]

[He just props his chin on his hand as he leans against the side of the basket, staring out into the distance.

At least it's a pretty view...]

I've... ah, seen a few things that helped make it more clear for me. But I understand where she's coming from. I thought that too at first.

[singurarity]

Maybe I've just gotten too used to everything.

[ Looking out over the view, herself. Her gaze is a little distant. ]

It all happened so fast for me, though--in my case.

[aspirings]

So you didn't really have the luxury of taking the time to disbelieve it.

[Is that how it was?]

[singurarity]

Yeah. I mean, I was seeing everything happen right in front of me, so the best I could do was just... [ She shrugs. ]

My best.
