yo. looks like there's still some residual effects coming up, but they should be pretty harmless since the kid was in charge of redistribution. she says it should be "cool". just don't do some damn idiot thing about them and you should be fine. this is absolutely not in my job description but the intern's busy and half of r&d is still banned and hr is on honeymoon. so you'll just have to deal with the lack of fancy bullshit. anyway. good luck or whatever.

Thank you for taking the time to explain.
But I'm still pretty alarmed.....

[cattack]

That's good.
I would be worried if you weren't, honestly.

[fiddlestick]

If this is all real...are there actual monsters in the town?
I think I remember running into one the first day I was here...
I don't know how I forgot about that until now.

[cattack]

There were, but not anymore.
We got rid of them all.

[fiddlestick]

Got rid of them as in they won't come back right?

[cattack]

I've seen very little that can come back from what we did.

[fiddlestick]

That sounds...a little scary when you put it like that, but...I can't deny I'm relieved.

[cattack]

Ah, I'm not very good at being comforting...
I apologize, I wasn't trying to be scary.

[fiddlestick]

Oh, no it's okay!

[a pause as he takes a deep breath]

I can't pretend I'm not a little scared right now,
but it's not you that's scaring me.
You seem really nice!
If anything, I feel a little better talking to you than I would trying to deal with this all on my own.

[cattack]

Oh, I'm glad.
It is Minako's wish that everyone who is struggling with Retrospec know that they are not alone.
There are many of us going through similar circumstances, and we wish to help.

[fiddlestick]

Minako?
Wait, I didn't think of it before when you mentioned her name...
But is that the same Minako as the one with ReVA?

[cattack]

Minako Arisato?

[fiddlestick]

Yeah her!
She was running a booth for ReVA at one of the orientation events!
She seemed really nice!

[cattack]

Yes, she's very kind. She's a very important friend to me.
I haven't seen her there, but it sounds like something she'd do.

[fiddlestick]

Hehe, it sounds like you two are good friends!
She convinced me to volunteer as an intern.
I don't know how useful I'll be, but I'd like to help if I can.

[cattack]

I'm sure you'll find something.
The will to help is the most important thing, after all.

[fiddlestick]

I don't know...
I think it takes a lot more than that.
If it was just will, I'd be a lot more helpful.

[cattack]

As you say, will alone does nothing.
But everything else comes from the will.
You can't do anything without the will for it.
And if your will is strong enough, you will find a way.
