If Retrospec gives you an item that you suspect is a murder weapon, what do you do with it? Should it be turned into the police or do you just keep it somewhere...? And what if you accidentally already got your fingerprints all over it...?

... hypothetically asking.

Thank you, but I don't think my resolve is anything that special. I'm just an average person.

But I saw a few people talk about the possibility of the monsters coming back to Recolle and that this is what Retrospec is referring to as their big "project". Do you think there's any weight to that possibility?

[spes_phthisica]

ah, really?
I guess I'm abnormal then (*´艸｀)

I honestly don't know. I mean, they keep acting like they're doing all of this for our own good, saying they've "saved" us and such, so that would be a bit counter-intuitive of them.
on the other hand... I don't trust them haha

[optimistical]

Oh, I don't mean that in a bad way! It's just that... I'm not really as strong as you think I am?

Yeah, it's starting to get really hard to trust whatever Retrospec says. I mean, if they really want to help us, why can't they tell us the full story? Or at least try to communicate with us.

（＾ｖ＾） I know, I'm sorry. I was just being a jerk.
but I do think there is strength in knowing what kind of person you are and what you're capable of. and deciding that is a lot better than wondering exactly how much you're capable of, trust me.

that's pretty much how I feel about it, too. I don't think they're actively malicious, but they're a bit too impressed with their own cleverness and they're not really interested in involving us. which is unfair, since we're the people directly affected.

[optimistical]

Thank you. You're really too kind.

Those are pretty much my thoughts as well. I'd be more willing to trust them if we could get some information on what's going on without having to sneak around them or get in trouble for it. This blackout is a really good example of no communication. There's a random black dome around us but no real information about it? People are getting hurt trying to break through it too!

[spes_phthisica]

oh dear, I didn't know that... hurt how?
I pretty much figured that we weren't going to be able to do something about it until further notice, so I didn't actually go check it out.
maybe that's a bit complacent, but this past year has been full of lots of strange things happening, and the only times we've been able to do much about is when the company has told us we can.
wow, that's pretty depressing when I think about it.
