Because the place I was before wasn't real either. Shinonome in your dorm would be able to explain it better than me.

[dormheads]

Kon? Oh, I see, the two of you are acquainted?
Hmm...
Well, this place is real, as far as I know.
Do you find it disquieting to think that it might actually be real?

[branches]

Well, most of the people in Amatsuki didn't know it wasn't real, either. So I don't think I can rule it out.

But if it is real... I'd mostly just be confused? I don't have a real body.

[dormheads]

Is that so...
That is a rather existential question - if you're truly experiencing reality.

That sounds complicated but...

Would you like to have a real body?

[branches]

I mean, of course I would. I have... there's people I care about that exist only in the real world now.

[dormheads]

Mm, I understand.
Then I can answer your earlier question.
I chose to attend this academy because those who graduate are granted a degree, and that degree will allow us to make one wish that will be granted.
At the time being, I'm still formulating my wish - but I know I will have a use for that wish.
That's why I'm here.

I hope that you'll consider utilizing that wish for yourself as well, Tsuyukusa.

[branches]

So there's no limits on the wish? It can be whatever you want and all you need to do is go to these dumb classes?

How long does it take to graduate?

[dormheads]

There should be no limitations on the wish but yes, you simply need to complete your time here at Wiwaldi.
Graduation occurs at the end of the academic year, after four terms. Fall Term, Winter Term, Spring Term, and Summer Term.

[branches]

... I guess I can do that then.

Thanks for telling me about that, I guess. Maybe you're not so bad.

[dormheads]

You really think so? That makes me happy.

You're welcome. I think it's good to have goals -
Yours, in particular, sounds important. So I hope that you'll be able to accomplish it.

[branches]

I will. I have to. There's several people I need to punch.

Also what's that white thing?

[dormheads]

Is that how you treat your friends...? I see...

It's a Mascot Character! Isn't it cute?

I think it adds a nice touch to messages to express at least a little bit more emotion...

[branches]

Yes but also Bonten deserves it for getting killed in Amatsuki without even saying anything to me.

I guess it's cute. It looks like a fat rabbit.

[dormheads]

This
Sounds complicated?
Would you like to talk about it?


Yes, that's the appeal! Round things are so cute...

[branches]

What's there the talk about? I just explained what happened.

Oh he's my brother if that's what you meant.

[dormheads]

I see...
Bonten is your brother who died inside - Amatsuki?
Is that the simulation you were referring to?

[branches]

Yeah, that's right.
I don't know what happened, I wasn't there, but I'm sure it was him sacrificing himself or something stupid like that. He's always taking everything on himself like that.

[dormheads]

Ah... That sounds frustrating.

Do you miss him?

[branches]

It only happened right before I ended up here. So I'm still just mad.

Do you have any siblings?

[dormheads]

I see... That makes sense.
It's awful when things are suddenly sprung on you like that.
Is he one of the people you'd want to see outside of the simulation?

I do! Thank you for asking. I have a younger brother.
Though our relationship is a bit complicated, I do care for him very much.

[branches]

Yeah he's one of the people I want to punch.

Complicated how? I mean. Not like I'm trying to pry but I guess maybe I might understand a bit.

[dormheads]

Is there a larger list?

No, it's alright. I think it's nice of you to ask.
I'll let you know if there is something that I do not wish to explain further, if only over text.

But... I suppose you can say that there was a moment when loyalties were chosen.
And during that instance, I realized that just because you are family that does not mean you will always come first to each other.

[branches]

Shouldn't it mean that, though? I mean, if you can't rely on anyone else, you should be able to rely on your family.

And yeah I have to punch Toki too. He's my friend, I guess.

[dormheads]

It's a nice thought, isn't it?
However there are cases in which that is not true. It may be unfair...
But that is the reality that some must live.

I see - so you're going to punch both your brother and your friend.
An interesting to-do list!

[branches]

Maybe your wish could change that? You said you hadn't decided yet.
