What is your favorite number?

There are wrong answers.

Maybe? Although I don't see how it can be, you can just turn off the device and ignore it.

[onehole]

I guess.

But not really.
Our lives are pretty connected communicating this way.
It's hard to escape life and when the only escape you have is tainted, it's rough.

So I guess it is the worse kind of bullying, ha ha.

[force_a_change]

I find people that have to rely on escaping to be undesirable.

Or at least not that fun to be around, if your life is so hard that you need to run away from it then why even exist?

... Ah but I guess that's a bit dark for a post about numbers.

[onehole]

That's unfortunate, 4.

Because a person wants to believe that a reason will appear.
They want to keep living for one more day and that it will get better.
Even slightly.
Even a minuscule amount.

I can't say it's dark. It's just sad.

[force_a_change]

Please, call me Asakura.

Then why run? That is all I am saying. Things will not get better if you make no effort towards making them so.

Dark, sad, really it depends on your outlook I guess.

[onehole]

All right, Miss Asakura.

Why run? A good question. It's because a person doesn't know if they themselves can make it better. I suppose they're running with the hope that they'll run into the person that will save them.

What one's outlook is, huh? Then, let's call this happy.

[force_a_change]

I still think it's silly to do so, relying on others tends to end poorly. At least that's how I've seen it happen.

... A happy outlook is a good one to have at least.

[onehole]

Relying on others can, but it's nice to experience it.

Isn't it?

[force_a_change]

Perhaps. I've never done it before, I've usually been the one they rely on.

[onehole]

So you've never felt what it's like to rely on someone?

[force_a_change]

Not that I can recall.

[onehole]

You don't even feel like you rely on people to give you chroma?

[force_a_change]

Nope! Since they also get Chroma from the exchange so it's not like I'm getting something for nothing.

[onehole]

I guess that is how it seems!

Well, I wish I could offer myself as someone to rely on, but I'm kind of an irresponsible person.

[force_a_change]

A fair exchange, I'd call it.

Well, you can't become more reliable by not admitting your faults. So just by the fact that you're aware that you're irresponsible means, you're a bit more reliable than someone who would deny it.

[onehole]

It is, but it also is a connection you're making with others, right?

Is that how it works??

[force_a_change]

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. I think it all depends on the people involved?

Since you can't make a good connection all by yourself.

[onehole]

Doesn't it depend on you and your feelings?

[force_a_change]

Well, yes but... It also depends on the other person's feelings as well.

[onehole]

It might, but it's okay to think a certain way.
Or are you scared they might not feel the same?

[force_a_change]

Mm, and no I'm not scared.

If it was about certain kinds of feelings, the deeper kind, then maybe I would be. But I'm not.

[onehole]

So, then...!!
Have you figured out the answer? The chroma you generate with others, have you made a connection with them?

[force_a_change]

I've made a friend, so I guess so? But making friends has been easy for me.

[At least compared to her fellow Humanoid Interfaces.]

[onehole]

I'm jealous.
I'm very bad at making friends, ha ha.

But that's good that you can say that you've made that kind of connection.

[force_a_change]

I know a few people who aren't good at making friends, they managed to make some very good friends so... Maybe that can happen to you!
