"SUGARED HAMSTEAK EVERYDAY" gave me an error message. Maybe there's another we can try.

Sorry. I tried early this morning because I was hungry and couldn't get it off my mind.

Find me next time you're online.

New title unlocked: Good Friends Stick Together.

Did you receive a message from a user known as @ dv awarding you a title? Did they say anything else to you, or did any administrators tell you to stop speaking to them?

[2 hours after their last conversation at like 1 in the morning, Levi will get a message ping:]

Levi, I'm back.

Are you online?

Hey Levi.

Is this game an anime?

"I want to understand the good and bad parts about her.

Even if she's flawed, well, aren't we all? And I wouldn't accept any other version of her that wasn't her being herself."

Hani asked me to send this to you and ask if that's what you think about me lol...sorry to put you on the spot <3 ^_^;;

I'll just give them a simple yes or no

Honeeeey

I got some of that weird armor... I know people are saying we shouldn't try it, but I want to see what it looks like. I don't want to do it alone though. >_<

Do you have time to meet up?

Hey.

Can we play some other video games this afternoon? When you're done with your dailies.

There is no way you have any intention on giving me your actual number but, believe it or not, I am on much better terms with your brother than I am with you.

And I actually would like to send him something.

[ It won't even be something trolly like he did with Mithrun. Amazing. ]

We haven't met, but my name is Yuui Jensen.

[ He may as well dox himself at this point, no use in trying to hide it. ]

You might know me as Barrett's tutor. I saw your message on the forums, so I thought I'd reach out. I received an email earlier today, notifying me that all future tutoring sessions with Barrett have been canceled.

I'd like to do something for him, even if I'm no longer his tutor.

[She goes back and forth on it a lot, but eventually:]

I'm guessing you guys aren't taking visitors? Lucas didn't seem like he was in the mood to deal with it. Or at least I'm pretty sure it was Lucas.

[After multiple days of Levi being more of a hermit than usual:]

Levi. Have you eaten anything since Sunday? You shouldn't stay locked up like that.

Hey. Let's talk, okay? Maybe in FF or Glamour?

I don't know what the hell is happening but you don't have to be alone in it either.

Even if it looks like we ended up on opposite sides, huh...

Did Lily ask you about your name?

[Barrett's spent most of the day after the meeting locked up in the guild. But he does take a minute to try and shoot Levi a message the next time he lays down, thoughts a mess.]

Hey Levi.

Can I ask you something? It might sound a little stupid, but I don't know who else to ask.

[Someone still hasn't come home from his sudden door bashing run of last night.]

I need to talk to you. It's important.

Where are you?

Levi, I am writing this to you so it's in words. I don't want to forget who I am, but I feel pieces of myself slipping away. I don't remember so many things that are missing.

By the time I wake up tomorrow, I'll probably have forgotten my life outside of Fragment...therefore, I want to trust you with some facts about myself.

My name is Kara Belmont. I am 23 years old. The times we met IRL are memories that I think my heart will hold onto, even if my memory can't. I went to school. I hurt a lot of people in my life, before I met people like you and tabibito. It's because of your faith in me that I was able to grow up and learn so much.

That's all I remember, as I'm writing this.

I love you. No matter what this game does to me, that is something that will never change.

[ Kara is not in their bedroom when Levi receives this message: ]

It's beginning. I didn't want to disturb you while you slept, so I'm sending a message to you instead. I'm outside, watching the sky. Lily is finally putting things into motion.

Say, Levi... If he's done something to you, too, then please believe in me. Believe in the power that I have within me to bring you back. I won't stop fighting until it happens, no matter the cost.

Regardless of whether or not that's true, though, this may be the last chance we'll have for a quiet moment together. Maybe I should spend it in a happier way than trying to talk about things like this, right? Hehe :3

Hi, honey. Two things. 1) Lily...did he give you another name? 2) What is your core called, and what was the letter accompanying it?

It seems you've finally learned about that "certain mindset" I once mentioned. Perhaps congratulations are in order?

Sorry if I worried you.

Hani said that Net Slum should be safe for everyone. That should include anyone with Lily's cores. The AI that are there apparently don't react to the glitches.

I was worried that I might still be a danger since I was a Phase. Lily hasn't taken anything away from me, either. But we don't know what might happen. At least on Hani's part, they think Zelkova absolutely means everyone. Including us.

So, make sure you go to get healed, okay?

[ It's probably pretty risky for him to make the offer he is about to do so, uncertain of its reception. But it is one he makes nonetheless. ]

I understand we hardly know one another.

However, if you would like, I could craft a portrait in Kara's likeness. If not, then you can simply ignore this message.

Whatever the case...you do have my condolences.
