Nijisa:
>Does anything feel different?

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Hmhm."
>Roll it further and quicker another way.

V!Daiko:

>"Well?"

Daiyousei:

>"Q-Quit fighting..."

> You roll the ball more.
> Fou repeats.

> V!Kokoro seems lost in, uh, thought...

> Kogasa has a defensive stance against Nue.
> Nue is attempting to get her towel back.
> Christine looks confused.

Nijisa:
>Does anything feel different?

> Not immediately, no...

Daiko:

>Toss the ball this time.

V!Daiko:

>"Kokoro?"

Daiyousei:

>"Please?"

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Toss the ball this time.

V!Daiko:

>"Kokoro?"

Daiyousei:

>"Please?"

> You toss-
> Fou jumps to catch it as soon as you do so, successful at such feat.
> "Woah." Mystia says.

> "What?" She looks down to you. She was looking at the infinity before.

> "I will stop if she stops!" Kogasa says.
> "You have my towel."
> "You made mine fall!"
> "C'mon, it's not too much. Aren't you letting your body be exposed freely without cover right now?"
> "..."
> Kogasa covers herself again, letting Nue's towel fall on her hands.

[meow56]

Nijisa:
>"Nothing..."

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Nice. How about further?"
>Send the ball further and higher into the air.

V!Daiko:

>"Do you remember what we were doing?"

Daiyousei:

>How precise is our warp?
>"H-Huh..."

[Tashi]

Nijisa:
>"Nothing..."

> "... Wait, what?" Marisa looks puzzled.

Daiko:

>"Nice. How about further?"
>Send the ball further and higher into the air.

V!Daiko:

>"Do you remember what we were doing?"

Daiyousei:

>How precise is our warp?
>"H-Huh..."

> You do so...
> Fou attempts to catch it with a high jump, but he misses it.

> "..."
> ...
> "No."

> ... Precise. You just had to make sure you don't warp in things...
> "Thank you." Nue wraps the towel around her.
> "What's with that?" Kokoro asks.
> "What is with what?"
> "Why you took umbrella girl towel."
> "I didn't~ umbrella girl..." Nue responds and Kogasa mumbles.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>How high did he jump?
>Glance for other things while he returns it.

V!Daiko:

>"We were talking about how you can express your emotions, like smiling. Without using your hands to help you. I said to imagine what really makes you happy, then you... stared into infinity."

Daiyousei:

>"I guess they're just playing..."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>How high did he jump?
>Glance for other things while he returns it.

V!Daiko:

>"We were talking about how you can express your emotions, like smiling. Without using your hands to help you. I said to imagine what really makes you happy, then you... stared into infinity."

Daiyousei:

>"I guess they're just playing..."

> Not high enough.
> You glance as Fou runs.
> You can see some kind of... labyrinth? Small, that is, and it doesn't have any kind of ceiling.
> You get an idea what's the purpose of it...

> "Oh... right... I was thinking about it, then I remembered that Mimiko told me to do something before... and I was thinking if I should do it."

> "W-We aren't, I tell you!" Kogasa blurts out.
> "C'mon, it's not the big deal. Otherwise, you would have picked your towel a bit ago already."
> "..." Kogasa blinks, looking back and forth between Nue and the towel at the floor.
> "Am I wrong?"
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Take the labyrinth and examine it.

V!Daiko:

>"Oh? What?"

Daiyousei:

>"Er..."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Take the labyrinth and examine it.

V!Daiko:

>"Oh? What?"

Daiyousei:

>"Er..."

> You take the labyrinth...
> It's small, but you think Fou can fit on the corridors...
> It seems the walls can be exchanged and placed at other spots. Apparently, to change the structure. You can also change the exit to other spot.

> "She wanted me to do some stuff with Seiga-Nyan."

> Kogasa quickly takes her towel and wraps it around.
> "Good." Nue shrugs.
> "D-Don't do that again..." Kogasa glares at her, and Nue just answers with a grin.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Set it down.
>How's Mystia?

V!Daiko:

>"Hm? Seiga-Nyan? You mean like, to make you happy or as business stuff or chores?"

Daiyousei:

>"S-See? No harsh feelings."

[meow56]

Nijisa:
>Shake head.
>"Nothing happened."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Set it down.
>How's Mystia?

V!Daiko:

>"Hm? Seiga-Nyan? You mean like, to make you happy or as business stuff or chores?"

Daiyousei:

>"S-See? No harsh feelings."

> She is retrieving the ball from Fou's mouth, then proceeds to pat him.

> "I don't know."

> "Yea. Go on." Nue says.
> A bit hesitant, Kogasa makes her way to the door...
> Then you see how Nue quickly takes her towel again and backs off.
> "REVEEENGE!" Kogasa starts to chase Nue around.

Nijisa:
>Shake head.
>"Nothing happened."

> "Huh..."
> Marisa pats the mushroom.
> "Maybe you should eat more?"
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Mix the labyrinth a bit.

V!Daiko:

>"Mm... What about the happy thing?"

Daiyousei:

>Sigh.

[meow56]

Nijisa:
>"Ok."
>Carve a little more out and eat it.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Mix the labyrinth a bit.

V!Daiko:

>"Mm... What about the happy thing?"

Daiyousei:

>Sigh.

> You start to change pieces...
> "What are you doing?"

> "Oh... well, I think Mimiko and the others... And Kyouko and Mystia and you as well, I guess..."

> You sigh.
> "Are they playing?" Christine asks.

Nijisa:
>"Ok."
>Carve a little more out and eat it.

> You do so...
> ...
> Still the same.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Changing up this labyrinth."

V!Daiko:

>"And eating delicious food right? And being able to dance..."

Daiyousei:

>"I think..."
>When Nue's still, warp her towel over to us, then hide it.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Changing up this labyrinth."

V!Daiko:

>"And eating delicious food right? And being able to dance..."

Daiyousei:

>"I think..."
>When Nue's still, warp her towel over to us, then hide it.

> "For w- oh... Right..."

> V!Kokoro nods.

> You wait for Nue...
> "Give it baaack!" Kogasa struggles to get the towel.
> "Na-ah!" The thief laughs.
> You take your chance to warp, then hide.
> "E-Eh?!"
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Finish and set it out for Fou.

V!Daiko:

>"Feel like smiling yet?"

Daiyousei:

>Watch.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Finish and set it out for Fou.

V!Daiko:

>"Feel like smiling yet?"

Daiyousei:

>Watch.

> You finish.
> "He should close his eyes. You know, to not know where the exit is."

> V!Kokoro shrugs.

> You watch as they keep struggling.
> "Serves you right, pervert!"
> "W-Well, I am not the one being okay with others seeing you bare like this."
> "YOU ARE LIKE THAT TOO!" Kogasa cutely blurts out in an upset way.
> "Because I have got stolen without even knowing who it was!"
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Well Fou?"

V!Daiko:

>"You've smiled before... Maybe it's how much you care for things. If you care more, you'd express more emotions."

Daiyousei:

>Warp the towel behind Kogasa, so that neither of them see it immediately.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Well Fou?"

V!Daiko:

>"You've smiled before... Maybe it's how much you care for things. If you care more, you'd express more emotions."

Daiyousei:

>Warp the towel behind Kogasa, so that neither of them see it immediately.

> Fou closes his eyes.

> "Huh..."

> You warp.
> "Now give miiine!"
> "Nah."
> "Whyyy?!"
> "Nah!"
> "THAT DOESN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION!"
> "NAH!"
> Kogasa keeps trying to get the towel, before they both fall. Kogasa is over Nue now.
> _

[meow56]

Nijisa:
>Shrug.
>"Still nothing."

[Tashi]

Nijisa:
>Shrug.
>"Still nothing."

> Marisa takes the knife and eats a portion herself.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Watch intently.

V!Daiko:

>"I think that's it. You should care more. Make more things seem serious like... What if you never saw me and Kyouko and Mystia again? Or Miko or Byakuren... That'd make you very sad, right?"

Daiyousei:

>"M-Maybe it was dropped..."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Watch intently.

V!Daiko:

>"I think that's it. You should care more. Make more things seem serious like... What if you never saw me and Kyouko and Mystia again? Or Miko or Byakuren... That'd make you very sad, right?"

Daiyousei:

>"M-Maybe it was dropped..."

> You watch...
> ...
> "Won't you place him inside?" Mystia blinks.

> "Yea..."

> "GIVE. IT. BAAACK!" Kogasa demands.
> "NAAAH!" Nue laughs, still struggling.
> Christine giggles.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Do so gently.

V!Daiko:

>"And if you couldn't enjoy good food anymore... And if that other Kokoro couldn't be stopped..."

Daiyousei:

>Well, nobody's getting hurt...
>Warp the other, unnoticed towel above the two.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Do so gently.

V!Daiko:

>"And if you couldn't enjoy good food anymore... And if that other Kokoro couldn't be stopped..."

Daiyousei:

>Well, nobody's getting hurt...
>Warp the other, unnoticed towel above the two.

> You take Fou and place him on the opposite extreme of the exit.
> He opens his eyes.

> "Yea and yea..."

> You warp.
> "Eh?" You hear both. Kogasa takes the towel off them.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"Alright, I'll time you Fou. Start when you like. Good luck."

V!Daiko:

>Is she showing more emotion?
>> If not: "You're still not showing much... The times you smiled and stuff were lucky, I guess. But the times you were angry or upset were those...
>Try to manipulate our own soul and make ourself... happier. Kira said he could do something emotion-wise like that, so...

Daiyousei:

>"Eh?"
