Can that be changed in the future?

I don't know how it's happening, but I don't like having my memories messed with in a video game.

[selfconcept]

I can't guarantee that, but we are still looking into it.

[gluttoning]

[A long, long pause.]

Can you guys please say something to the game, then?

Between what happened with Swallow and the armors and now the weird things with the mirrors at the carnival, people are getting really uncomfortable with the silence.

People want to trust you, you know. I think staying quiet makes that hard.

[selfconcept]

Please don't accept what anyone on the internet can say as the truth. It's much more believable when you only have to type convincing words and not show your face.

I also have no intention of changing what others think of me nor their decision to trust me. That's a decision that they make on their own using their own beliefs and values. I have my reasons for doing things the way they are.

[gluttoning]

[...]

What does my trust have to do with it?

I'm going off what I see, Hien. I see people waiting for someone to say that their problems aren't being ignored. Even if you don't have answers or have reasons for wanting to stay silent, you're still the one in charge, aren't you?

[selfconcept]

[ He'll say this in response to both paragraphs: ]

Can you prove to me that Swallow didn't lie?

[gluttoning]

No.

Can you prove she did?

[selfconcept]

I can, but I'm under NDA.

[gluttoning]

[...]

And you're still not going to put out some kind of statement? If you think she's pulling people's leg, why let everyone panic?

[gluttoning]

[dude why]

Is this about beliefs?

Come on. Stuff people are bringing up could get CCCcorp sued, couldn't it?

[selfconcept]

If they think it's something to panic over rather than critically think for themselves to fully assess the situation, I won't stop them.

And that's no concern of mine. [ To both things. ]

[gluttoning]

How much can people figure out on their own in a situation like that? That's what they're trying to do when they reach out to you and Zelkova.

If people can't come to you, then what are they supposed to do?

[selfconcept]

You greatly underestimate what people can do as a community. You have many other people around you, savvy in particular fields. Trade information, rally key people over to your side for an easier time, ask for their opinion to broaden your horizons... and such.

And that, is my final decision on this stance. I wish you a good rest of your day, Mr. Misteaks.

[ No further emails will come even if he sends a response. ]

[gluttoning]

[This just sounds like "figure it out on your own" in way too many words.

...

He doesn't bother to respond. But his disappointment feels like a rock in his stomach.]
