Yes, I guess they can.
But stupid.
I'm not studying with him.

I didn't say it was a clever plan
Or it would work
Since

Yeah. Stupid.

So you get asked to 'study' a lot huh?
I see nothing changed from high school.

Oh well.

I was hoping life would change. I guess not.

Yeah
Well, think of it as

hm

Actually I'm not really coming up with any great ways to spin this
Just smack the next boy that does it
That sounds satisfying.

I will do that.

And see you at home.

Good.

Yeah.

Ping me if you need me to stop at the store or anything, I'm gonna be in lab until 5.
Later Yukiko

Why do you have nanites in your brain, Togusa?

They're a way to connect to the net. I'm still not entirely sure, but a lot of the things I'm seeing have people with- augmentations, for lack of a better word. Prosthetics. Metal limbs or armor covering over their bodies.

And I remembered something like this, nanites that are implanted in a person.

And now they're in you.
Hmm.

That must be really unnerving.

Just between you, me, and the wall? Yeah. It is. I'm trying not to let on. But the ramifications are pretty bad.

What do you think it means?

That in this world that Retrospec is showing me, mechanical adaptations like this are common.

That this might not be where this all stops. This is just the beginning of how I change.

so hey a couple of things.
what are you doing right now?
also, trick or treat?

Right at this very moment?
Sitting in my car trying to decide what to get for dinner.

Treat.

[A virtual Twix shows up on Eleanor's screen. But after that, he'll also text an address for a café somewhere in Tisse then.]

see you in fifteen minutes? unless you have other plans, i mean. [Any explanation? No, probably not.]

Thanks

Well my plan was to get take out and eat it sitting on the couch at home so.
This is probably better. See you in a few.

[And fifteen minutes later she comes pulling into the parking lot and heading into the diner, still in her clothing from school, that ridiculous oversized purse of hers over her shoulder.]

First step towards the singularity is nanites in the brain?

[He's already there waiting for her, hands in the pockets of his hoodie and leaning against a wall. He perks up upon seeing her and immediately pushes himself away from the building to meet her halfway across the parking lot before turning to walk back with her.]

Since you picked treat, and I am also kind of hungry, I thought this would be better, yeah. [To answer her text.]

[She adjusts her purse on her shoulder as she meets up with him, continuing the walk towards the restaurant.]

Hey, I'm not going to argue with whatever reason you came up with. [She shrugs, grinning.]

So what's up?

[Asked as they reached the building, and she tugged the door open, holding it for him to step past her.]

[A stupid reason, probably, but he says a quick thanks as he practically bounces through the door. This particular diner is a seat yourself sort of place so he's quick to gesture for her to follow as he leads them to a table.]

I really just wanted to get out and away from any sort of establishment representing higher education? School is killing me already and it has been, like, a month. Plus I haven't seen you since the party so I figured why not?

[Once they're seated though, he starts for a sec.] Oh! I have something for you, too. [He'll reach into one of his pockets and pull out a few roses? They might be a little squished because he's been toting things around and making deliveries to people, but hey.]

[That made her chuckle softly.]

I can't help but agree with you there. Most of my classes just feel...like work for the sake of work.

[Stupid core requirements. She followed him across the diner, swung her purse into the booth and plopped down across from him...only to come face to face with roses.]

[What?]

[She froze up for a good three seconds before reaching out to carefully take them.]

Uhm. Thank you?

[There's a grin and then like. No real explanation as he launches into something else.]

Sure. I was not really sure how many you would want, so I guessed. Anyway yeah exactly? And I already have a job so doing work for the sake of work is cutting into a lot of my free time and it sucks. I know it is the dumbest thing to complain about but...you know. I want to prioritize time spent with other people and not in a library somewhere throwing my calculus book across the table.

[Yes John just keep talking and give Eleanor time to process the roses you just gave her. Which is a thing no one has ever done for her before. She smooths them out a bit, grey eyes flicking from them to him and back a few times.]

Yeah. [She said, her voice a tad distant.] Uh.

Do you need help with calculus?

[She managed to latch onto part of what he said, at least.]

[Who's 100% oblivious? This guy.]

I always need help with calculus. I really do not know why I am still determined to stick with science. [Well. No, he does. Nevertheless there's a teasing grin even as he takes a menu to review his options.] Promise you won't rap the formulas and concepts at me?

[Stupid oblivious boys. At least the normal talking was settling her mind a bit. Maybe she was reading too much into the roses. Could you read too much into roses?]

Well I'm not Dave, so I think you're probably good. [She smirked, and when the waitress came by, ordered two glasses of water for herself. She had to have something to put the roses in, right?]

But I can help if you want. Math has always been really easy for me.
