[ puts on little alien conspiracy hat. ]

I don't think this is a bug, which is why they're not fixing it. I think this is a continuation of an experiment.

[ they've briefly mentioned this to 0koto once before but... ]

The first was forcing the game to affect our real world bodies. See: what happened to Gani-kun. The second was... Mithrun-kun, Morgan-kun. Being offline but unable to log out. Not waking until... well, you saw it, didn't you, Oriade-kun?

And now this. What's next?

if its anything like a quest
i think we should at least try to look for a solution!!
maybe it isnt just a stress test
but to test our initiatives?

Our initiatives?

like playing around with operant conditioning

[ um ]

???

Hair?

[ He's making use of his IB diploma........... ]

its being rewarded for doing something
so that it encourages you to keep doing it
theres also different kinds like variable ratio conditioning
you dont get rewarded every single time
but you get rewarded eventually
in that way
you keep repeating that behavior
even if there isnt a reward every time

[ he cut down a lot, and he knows this answer would be wrong on a test, but he's trying to help Hani understand, not pass a test. ]

That sounds like the makings of a bad habit. Or should I say, of an addiction.

it definitely makes you act a certain way
but what if you have to rethink your behavior
thats what i mean by playing around with it

[ technical thinking isn't really one of hani's strengths... but they have absolute faith in oriade. ]

OK! I still don't really understand, but I'm glad that you do. What should we do then? How do we play around with it? Or, um, play around it??

i was thinking...
that woman was screaming around and looking for someone
what if we can find that person
instead of thinking that we cant do anything about it like usual

[ oh!!! actually a genius?? ]

天才？？？

That’s a great idea! I’ll ask the people by the gate if they have any clues.

[ If he was his usual self, he'd probably act all vain and say that he is a genius, but his own illness doesn't make him want to do that. Too much effort. ]

let the others know what you find!!
