[ Welcome to CUBEnix's office where the sleek design of modern tech merges with the back drop of ye old Art Deco interior. There's huge computer screens hanging from brackets from the ceiling, the beeps of an arcade game in the background and a bunch of scrolling code on the computer screen behind Yoon-sung. The man himself is dressed in his usual style of business casual by way of a designer brand though he had upgraded his usual scoop neck shirt for something less revealing to spare anyone of seeing his scarring. He also has acquired a spent bullet that someone strung on a piece of rawhide to turn into a necklace. ]

First off, I should welcome all our lovely new users to the Retrospec world where things don't make sense, and we are all going insane. The app is just our way to know who is part of the end users of this framework and who isn't. What I mean by that is those that can see and use the app are those who also notice all the changes happening in the world around us. Congratulations. We're all lost souls connected by a ghost program. If you have any questions about my experiences with it, just ask.

[ Because he is probably one of the few people who has managed to peek at the coding even if he didn't see anything of note. ] Second, what does love mean to you?

This is true.

However, is love still love here, even as 'lost souls'?

[vendettastool]

That's one of the things I'm trying to figure out right now.

Considering the whole 'memories of a past self' thing.

[ascatic]

Ah, I think I am getting it now.

That could be troublesome, if the love we have is not the same love we had.

Messy.

[vendettastool]

Or if the love we had then was also tainted with something else.

Messy is a good way to describe it.

[ascatic]

With... something else?

What do you mean?

[vendettastool]

Anger. Regret. Sadness. There are so many things that can affect love, isn't there?

[ascatic]

I always thought, though it may be more of a romantic notion, that they all come in one complete package.

One simply cannot have just adoration in their heart for someone.

It would become stale.

[vendettastool]

So you think that love has everything else mixed in with it?

[ascatic]

I am no expert on the subject matter but I believe that to be true.

Balance in all things, I suppose.

[vendettastool]

I never thought of it in that way. I guess mainly because I've always been told that love kinda is without any of that.

[ascatic]

You have to love and accept all of them, right? Whoever it may be.

The good, the bad. The fair and the unfair.

Such is life! But, I might be a little more pessimistic than most. Love has always been an uncertainty for me.

[vendettastool]

I just go with the flow most times. There's really no reason why someone should focus on everything when people aren't going to open up right away.

[ascatic]

Perhaps.

But I would like to get a chance to focus on someone soon. One day. Maybe.

[vendettastool]

You got to start somewhere first before you can get to that level, right?

[ascatic]

Yes.

I feel like my time is shorter than others due to my age, though I would think that love would transcend that particular issue.

Who knows?

Thank you for explaining a little more about this world. I am glad that you did.
