orchestra 29 - the plot recap episode [video] (cw: existential crises)

[monkeyinthewrench]

Hey, so, uh...you guys want to recap that massive plot twist that got dumped on us?



I didn't really feel qualified to talk and I already had my turn in the interrogation room, so I hung back to listen. And from what I gather...this whole tether and void travel thing is basically creating spirit clones to go off into the void while our bodies stay home?

Please tell me I misheard something, because that's kinda creepy.

He knows I'm a girl, and he knew I wanted HRT since I mentioned it to him before, but he won't know I started since that happened after I was brought to the train. I don't think he'd do anything without my say so, so I don't think I'll be getting it until I go back and try to get it.

[He can at least help on that front if needed, though.]

[jan_ken_hacking]

[Hm.]

So it isn't something you were taking while off the train yet. [Understandable she supposes.] In that case, we can hope that he takes the steps to have it ready.

[tactlesstantei]

Maybe. If he didn't, I can ask him to help me get it again whenever I go home.

[Shuukichi should be willing to help if asked, knowing who he is. That is not in doubt here.]

It's just that this is a shock to find out, especially since we still aren't sure what's happening in our homeworlds. It might not be true, but it could also be true.

[Schrodinger's comatose body, if you will. No one can confirm or deny it right now, so with no way of being sure, it's rough to think about.]

[jan_ken_hacking]

True.

...One thing that could help though... [she trails off, considering the matter.] ...somehow, the train is providing our bodies nutrition- or at least it is if this is the right 'Tether'.

...If that's the case, it could potentially be transferring the hormones as well.

[Now isn't that a thought.]

[tactlesstantei]

[You can see the hope in her eyes as she thinks about this. She wants this to be true, but there's no way to be sure.]

...I hope that's true. I should have thought of that before.

[She'd panicked. In fact, she's still uncertain, but really wants to hope for the best.]

[jan_ken_hacking]

There's a lot to take in, [Kiyoiri acknowledges calmly.]

...it isn't something we would normally have to think about, either.

[tactlesstantei]

That's true. [Normally she wouldn't have to question things like if her HRT is affecting her actual body or not. It's also something she has no control over for now, unfortunately, so Masumi's trying to find some sort of bright side.]

...At least it's helping me here, where it's needed right now. [She would prefer if it was transferring over to her body as well, but as long as it's helping her here, on the train, then that's something.]

[jan_ken_hacking]

That's the important thing.

[Think positive!]
