...whatever the reason, I can't say I like it much.

[holeful]

... Maybe none of this is real.

[Causally.]

[shiftingwinds]

...what makes you say that?

[holeful]

Well all this evidence appearing and dissapearing... even Tamaki's body, it didn't show it's injuries at first. And the Avatars are the ones that "found" the body. And then presented it to us. If it's all not really happening it would suddenly make a lot more sense.

[shiftingwinds]

But - what? If it's not really happening, are we all hallucinating?

[holeful]

Mm. Or it's like... illusion magic? Since I guess magic is real here.

It's like that room with the bodies in pods. I saw myself in them, but I believe that's the same for everyone else, seeing themselves in them. Which means what we saw wasn't real.

[shiftingwinds]

Not necessarily. Where I come from, it's possible for people to make clones of themselves, with sufficient power.

Perhaps it would be odd to see - but that doesn't immediately mean that seeing it means that all of this isn't real.

[holeful]

Sure, but Omi looked at the exact same one that I was looking at and he saw it differently than I did. That's what I mean.

[shiftingwinds]

There are some artifacts that appear differently to each person who views them...

[she's not quite convinced]

It's not an impossibility, I suppose, but I don't think it's the only conclusion we can come to just based on that. If this isn't real, then what would you say we're experiencing?

[holeful]

A simulation, I suppose? The technology exists to make something that feels real to all the senses like that.

[shiftingwinds]

[hm]

If it feels real, and we remember it - it's real enough, isn't it? It will still affect us.

[holeful]

Haha. I suppose so. That's why I'm not that worried. Even if we die, it's fine, though it will hurt the same as if it were real.

[shiftingwinds]

..."it's fine"?

[holeful]

Aah. Dying in simulation can cause arrhythmia but it takes a lot of deaths to have a lasting impact. Just one time shouldn't be a problem.

[shiftingwinds]

...but if it turns out not to be a simulation...?

[holeful]

Well, then it's a terrible tragedy, I suppose.

[shiftingwinds]

Better to avoid dying here, then. Just in case.

[holeful]

Aah. Like I said, even if it's not real, it will still hurt.

[Today on Missing The Point with Tamotsu Fukuda.]

[shiftingwinds]

Exactly what kind of life have you lived so far, to be able to say that so easily...

[holeful]

My life is irrelevant. I'm simply saying that I've died in a simulation over seventy times.

[shiftingwinds]

...excuse me?!

[holeful]

Hahaha... you do start to get used to it a little bit. I don't recommend death by electrocution, though.

[shiftingwinds]

[what the fuck kind of world is he from, sqx is internally screaming]

Personally, I wouldn't recommend death at all, of any kind!

[holeful]

True, true... In most cases.

[shiftingwinds]

...you come from a pretty different place than me, I guess.

[why is he like this about death.]
