[ on the morning of the 14th, everyone’s feeds get to enjoy what appears to be a somber-looking video of a somber-looking man. his shoulders are hunched, his eyes downcast, and one might wonder why he’s making a video if he’s going to look this sad while doing it. don’t worry about it. ]

It’s…

[ he falters. he should have planned this out a little better. ]

I’m sorry to bring them up again, but what was said about the Oracles of the Sinless has been weighing on my mind. One of those members mentioned wanting to “reset” the world…

[ a new game+, as tarn put it. ]

My world is… I… [ although he can't finish his thoughts, it doesn't sound like he's getting emotional. his voice is quiet, but even-toned. ] It’s been destroyed. Most people are dead, and those that aren’t are… unwell. And when I think about that, the idea of resetting the world doesn’t seem wrong.

[ he seems to realize that he’s dangerously close to spreading cult propaganda, and he looks up at the camera with the first fluctuation of emotion—from a kind of downtrodden pensiveness to concern. ]

But I don’t think it seems right, either. I don’t know. [ he glances away from the camera once again. ] The Sinless must be scared. They don’t want the world to get worse. Our arrival here… it makes beautiful things, but maybe…

…um. I wanted to know what everyone else thinks.

Like natto? Or cheese? [Wait, those aren't the same things either.]

We're not in that other place any more. You can eat whatever you want here without needing to worry about wasting it.

That’s true…

[ dextera knows that he’s not in the town anymore, but he was in a terrible situation for even longer than that. it feels necessary to just take care of what he has here in his own home. ]

…I’ve never had natto before.

[lacrimose]

Maybe they have something like it in Amegahara. The food there is like Japan's.

[...Or maybe they just have fermented donuts...]

[ something briefly occurs to dextera. he remembers something—one of the only japanese dishes he’s really familiar with, and one he’d like to eat again. ]

Like curry?

[lacrimose]

Yeah, that's one of them. You like curry?

[passio]

I’ve only had it once.

[ it feels wrong to eat it with someone who isn’t guren, or at least it’s wrong to eat it alone. with akira around, he would feel a little less pathetically lonely eating a dish that reminds him of someone who’s no longer present. ]

…but I want to have it a second time.
