Chapter 16: Vanquished Boy (HM) 10 HM

ErikaWas Chitose okay?

ErikaYou're going to look for Ryuji, right? I get it.

ErikaI...can't move yet. So please, do what I can't.

ErikaWhat is it?

ErikaYou saw that virtual AI from my memory server... in the real world?

ErikaWeird things have been happening since I ported my memories to EDEN.

ErikaI remember places I've never actually been to. I have dreams of looking at sights I've never seen.

ErikaMaybe my memories have started leaking out into cyberspace and roaming around.

ErikaI mean to say what you saw might actually have been, well..."me."

ErikaLook what's happened to Tokyo. The line between the virtual and real worlds is practically a blur.

ErikaWhatever "I" am was vague to begin with, and now it's losing even more clarity.

ErikaMy body may exist in reality, but the memories driving it have been...digitized.

ErikaWhat I'm feeling now, my memories with everyone, it's all part of an accumulation of data. A dream that data shows me.

ErikaI think the real me may not even exist in reality anymore.

ErikaI mean, which was "real" for me to begin with? EDEN or this world here?

ErikaIt's gotten less and less clear...like the Butterfly Dream.

PlayerYou're right here with me, Erika. EDEN can never be the "real" world. Wait, so you're a butterfly?

Erika...I wish I was.

ErikaDoes it just make sense to you that way? I can't fathom it...

ErikaHee hee. Maybe. That might be nice.

ErikaNo, I get it. I know this is where I am...

ErikaBut sometimes...I get so worried.
