We've all noticed names that vanish from the app, right? Those who don't make it to the end of the countdown. That can happen to those of us who have, too. It's more extensive than simply leaving the chatroom, though.

I can confirm that Marchosias 29, also known as Okuyasu Nijimura, is, for lack of more descriptive words, gone. Completely gone.

I'd noticed.

You'll want to make sure you don't act strange about it.

I've investigated as subtly as I can. I'm no more out of character than I have been regardless, which people are beginning to grow accustomed to.

[kokuyoyo]

Your other self was popular, wasn't he?

[onlythankyou]

He was. Truth be told, it's uncomfortable.

[kokuyoyo]

I'm glad I don't have to deal with that. It'd be annoying. People notice drastic shifts like that.

[onlythankyou]

It's been difficult, but it's not as though I don't have experience lying. We all wear masks.

Not drawing negative attention is a pleasant change, but I really don't know how to handle having this many friends.

[kokuyoyo]

Do they all mob you at the same time?

[onlythankyou]

Sometimes. The [INFORMATION LOCKED] is worse about it, they're a very physical group. It would be out of character to quit,
as much as I'd like to.

...I forgot it does that.

[kokuyoyo]

Do you have a plan to deal with it?

[onlythankyou]

Exactly that: to deal with it. I'm not such a poor liar as to let my mask drop so carelessly. What I'd like is of least priority.

[kokuyoyo]

As long as you make sure no one finds out anything about this, then it should be fine.

[onlythankyou]

No one will. As far as they know, the odd behavior is the result of trouble with family from out of town adding stress. Otherwise left undefined.

[There's a pause in response.]

That's a really good excuse.
