Has everyone's day been pleasant? I hope so. Isn't it kind of the city to refresh itself and shed all the work we put into it? It's such a nice view to wake up to after these past few weeks.

On the other hand, did anyone else receive a bright red surprise at midnight that didn't disappear after waking up today? If you have a new possibly anxiety-inducing timer that you can't remove, shall we have a pop quiz? Or a poll?

What are we counting down to?

A) the end of the month
B) the end of the world
C) the time until you find your soulmate
D) provide your own answer. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

(If anyone makes a Europe reference, you're dead to me. :) )

Will you rise up as that alpha?

We have been receiving a lot of dreams and messages. Perhaps it has to do with those personal issues. Or maybe Retrospec is trying to reset itself.

do you think i would make a good leader?

i wonder if that would be a relief for everyone if it does reset.

[ ... ]

i don't want to forget everything that has happened.

I think you would be a better choice than some.

I don't want to forget anything either. I'm hoping if it's a reset, it's a soft one, nothing that would upset who we are now. I'm afraid I'm more biology science minded, not computer science minded--or however Retrospec works.

Let's scrap that possible idea.

thanks, Clover. that means a lot.

i think i would be fine with that, too. at this point, i just want answers. it's been over a year and everything still feels out of place.

I've only been on Retrospec for 2/3 o a year. I can't imagine how much more frustrating it is for those who've been here longer.

I sincerely wish there was a way to get answers that didn't involve breaking and entering or something short of a catastrophe like February.

it's very frustrating or they're no longer with Retrospec.

[ It's hard not to notice the dwindling numbers, though for him it's also remembering people he used to know, but don't now. ]

maybe everything will tie up after the timer?

We can only hope for stability. I do have to wonder if all the errors they've been having correlates with people's access to Retrospec. Or lack thereof.

maybe, but there's a lot that goes on with these glitches that i find highly concerning. it's our souls that they're juggling and when one is off the network, there's a blatant difference for those that can see souls.

[ But that's... Solemn and he doesn't want to think about it. ]

maybe we'll also get fireworks at the end, too.

[ He brought it up!! So now they're going to think about it. Clover doesn't know how to read all his cues. ]

When the layers collapsed, we managed to get them back, but there's no guarantee that it can't happen again. If there were a way to find a reliable way to power the Retrospec project, there could be a push to secure more souls. However, talk of handling souls sounds unethical as it is.

Are we celebrating a new year or the freedom of a country?

they did frame it as being more of an asset and benefit to themselves than for altruistic reasons. it is a win-win, either way. i can't complain.

[ He can see why Minato and Clover are together now. However, Ren is quite neutral on Retrospec. Some of them seem good, some not as much, but they have to work together even if they aren't on the same level.

It can be infuriating. ]

one step to freedom and hopefully the truth. i'm sure Eren would be game to lighting them up on every single roof.

[ Clover hates Retrospec, but she has to accept reality on some level because if she doesn't, well, you see what happens. Or it happens because she accepts the reality. ]

Is it truly a win-win? I wonder, if the reconstruction of souls were more of a revival instead, how long would it be winning?

Hear hear to a step to truth and freedom.

If Eren becomes a menace on any roof, notify me. I'll get him down. I'd rather not another important person in my life get arrested for something silly.
