[ upon kogami's suggestion, akane's taken it upon herself to find a suitable (ha ha) way of celebrating her 23rd birthday! she found the chilling cave by coincidence while patrolling the streets once and decided that she wants to try ice skating.

so after texting the guys (brother, mom, and dad), as well as a couple of friends (really, it's just a couple. she doesn't have much friends) if they're free on the 17th, she waits outside the chilling cave, hoping to meet up with her friends.

it's time… to chill! ]

...Adolf Reinhardt. [ trading names... he hasn't done this in a while. ] And, well. She's done her fair share to warrant me at least showing up.

[ Meaning, she's been nice to him despite him being a huge tsun shitlord, so he should do at least this much for her. ]

...You sound like you know her well. Someone from her world?

[abhors]

Yes - she was my superior back then, but I also considered her a good friend.

[ Wait. ] I still do.

How did you and Tsunemori meet?

[zitteraal]

Your superior.

[ He parrots, not because it's unlikely, but because he's a bit surprised, maybe. ]

—I met Tsunemori on my first day here. We arrived on the same day, during the same ViViD session.

[abhors]

Same day? This place does seem to follow a certain pattern when it comes to bringing in new people... [ As in, a bunch of people will arrive on the same day, and then nothing until a few weeks later again. Very peculiar. ]

Are you the only one from your world?

[zitteraal]

Yeah. For better or for worse.

[ He's noticed that there seem to be a group of people who all know each other, and then a dabble of people who haven't had the same 'luck'. But in all honesty, he doesn't mind being the only one from his world— it's one less thing to worry about. So he doesn't look or sound too torn up, and remains, ostensibly, as neutral as ever. ]

There doesn't seem to be any pattern to who gets brought in. You'd think that CERES would have more specific 'recruitment' criteria.

[abhors]

Perhaps it's less to do with our achievements and personalities, but something far deeper that can't be perceived or understood.

[ And in case that was too cryptic, he'll also spell it out. ]

Our codes.

[zitteraal]

Our structure?

[ He looks Kogami up and down, and then... looks at his own hand, not that he expects anything to be made more certain from this gesture alone. ]

...I can't say that I would have been easy to make from scratch, but. It's a possibility.
