Finished repairing damage left by mirror self - my copy of the database is unaccounted for. Mirrors may now know about the bridge. Network transmissions up to this point have been archived and encrypted. AE will alert me if bridge becomes inactive. Do not attempt to interfere with real-side system, location must remain secret as long as possible.

That may be true, but it isn't quite what I meant. My sentiment was more that aberrations from what is considered the norm should be expected of us. I think that it's likely that the characteristics are what allowed us to become Super High School Levels at all. They are what make us exceptional; our heightened skill development is just the manifestation of those characteristics that we always had.

Come to think of it... the way I discovered that I was good at using computers was... was that I didn't want to go and play outside, since everyone always made fun of how weak and un-masculine I was... so I just spent all day on the computer, instead...

Don't let yourself fall into the belief that you aren't exceptional, Chihiro-san.

...Ehehe... "exceptional"... I think that's a better way to think of it than "weird"...

I agree.

[She's not sure, but she thinks she can remember coming across some of that sentiment herself in the past.]

I'm sure the data transfer is finished by now. [Probably has been for awhile.] If Alter Ego can make regular backups of the files remotely, I will be sure to have my flash drive plugged in to make them available at regularly.

I'll do my best to handle the responsibility, Kyouko-san... I don't want this information to fall into the wrong hands again...

I'll keep it locked up Super High-School Level Tight! Ehehe!

I believe in you both. For my part, I keep my flash drive on my person at all times. It doesn't leave my sight.

All right! From now on, there won't be any more leaks!

[Kirigiri nods and closes her laptop.]

I'm feeling a bit hungry. Would you like to come and get something to eat with me?

Re: action

[petabytes]

[ Oh geez oh gosh Kirigiri is inviting her out to eat oh goodness ]

Ah...! Oh, of-of course! I'd love to!

[Kirigiri nods and gets up, brushing off her skirt and tucking her laptop under her arm.]

Shall we go?

Re: action

[petabytes]

Ehehe! I'm ready when you are!

[ Chihiro offers Alter Ego a friendly smile before closing up her own laptop, slipping it back into her shoulder bag and letting Kirigiri lead the way to their destination. ]
