Happy New Years, users.

I'll cut to the chase; the barrier we instilled a few months ago is decaying quickly and we're sorting through the new data as fast as we can. This barrier was originally designed to contain a rogue error. There are several of you who have taken care of this issue and from here we will handle the rest...thank you. The influx of data will help us decode our next steps.

As mentioned, we've spent December tracing several magical sources that are coming up in our readings. We're doing the best we can to trace Clarence--Mr. Vanderweele, and corral the effects he's altering in the city. I believe we're ready to tear down the firewall and begin exploring further. If our information is correct, we're really breaking the boundaries of the layers we've discovered lately! It's exciting, don't you think?

The only information I can offer is that we will need you to be strong no matter what happens. We believe things have changed outside of security measures we've set in place, though we will need more data to understand the best way to stabilize the city from his control. We understand if you cannot and do not wish to help, but please know we're doing everything we can.

Please take care.

Agreed. I'll take anything over Retrospec dreams, usually my nightmares make more sense.

Nonsensical isn't usually a problem with mine. I'm not sure if I'm thankful for that or not.

Consider yourself lucky! I'm still trying to work out how everything connects and I'm no closer to that than I was last year. Every time I get something substantial - which isn't very often, by the way - it just makes things even more confusing. I don't know why I bother trying to sort it all out at this point.

On the bright side, you never have to determine whether or not you're already dead in a memory?

Fair enough, I suppose...

[He could make a terrible joke here, but he'd prefer not to broadcast his whole "brought back from the dead" thing on the network...]

[If Shuji finds out about that he will definitely apologize.]

Not much of a bright side, I know. Sorry.

[sometimes you've gotta make fun of the terrible things in your life, it's fine]

I appreciate the attempt, at least!

[This is true.]

Maybe a better way to cheer you up would be to drop by later? If you don't have plans.

I do have plans tonight, unfortunately! You can drop by the shop whenever you'd like, though! This week should be pretty slow, so you don't have to worry about interrupting my work or anything!

I'll try to come by tomorrow or so, then. Just in case everything gets fucked up, again, and I don't have the chance to later.

Fair enough! Who knows what this month will bring? I'll be sure to keep an eye out for you~!

Likewise! You know I'm always here for you, whenever I can actually do something.

Don't go putting yourself down like that! You're capable of quite a lot, you know!

I know, but... I can't say 'I'm only human' when that isn't actually true, but you know what I mean.

Well, I understand the sentiment, at least!

You really don't need to worry about that sort of thing, though. You've always come through for me, even when I didn't realize there was a problem or I thought it was something I couldn't possibly overcome. Honestly, I don't know where I'd be if you hadn't been around to help me out!

So don't go underselling yourself like that, you're capable of so much and you do an excellent job looking out for your friends!

aaaaaaaaaa I love you so much!!

[He may have really needed to hear that and not realized that until he heard it.]

[See, sometimes that's just what you need!!]

You're welcome~! ☆ I'm always here to help you out as well, whenever you need it!

It's the same for me! I'd do anything for you, all you have to do is ask.

I really do appreciate it! I'm still working on that, but I am in a much better place than I was last year, so hopefully you won't have to be too concerned about me!

I'm going to worry, because you're one of my best friends and that's what I do. But that's good to hear.

Well, that's fair, I can be the same way sometimes...

I do appreciate it, though!

We're surprisingly similar sometimes.

I'm sure that would surprise quite a few people~!

[They'd be disappointed in you, Shuji types, and then remembers he's supposed to stop putting himself down.]

Our friend circles overlap a lot, come to think of it. But maybe that's just because a bunch of my friends work(ed) at your shop.

[Good man.]

I do have some pretty amazing employees, so I'm not surprised they're also your friends!
