"So far, Retrospec has proven able to maybe not directly manipulate our memories, but allow a trigger for our memories to be shaped. People associated with the application have reported strange items being sent to them. Or physical changes, the color of their eyes or hair changing, even injuries appearing that they never remember getting." Togusa leans back a little. "When I say I have no idea, I mean it. The limits of their ability to manipulate us have yet to be found."
