"Momoi..."
Momoi collapsed on that fateful day...
It was the day Aris went into an unexplained frenzy.
Momoi was caught up in the commotion and was knocked unconscious.
We rushed Momoi to the Schale infirmary as quickly as possible.
But two days had passed already...
...and Momoi showed no signs of waking up.
The strange robots turned on out of nowhere, and Aris suddenly lost control. Everything unfolded in an instant.
Fortunately, we got the situation under control thanks to Neru and the C&C members who showed up later, but...
"(Why did Aris react like that...?)"
It was the calm before the storm. And we were all left with many questions.
According to Hare...
...the behavior Aris displayed was clearly abnormal and caused by being in contact with those strange robots.
And according to Midori...
When Aris changed, and the robots began to activate...
...The broken console Momoi had been holding onto also powered on, after all this time.
"Momoi's game console...has the data from the ruins..."
...
*beep*
Welcome to the Divi:Sion System. Please enter the item you need help with.
Identity check: Are you AL-1S?
"A computer...from the ruins...and the Divi:Sion System..."
Why did Aris lose control? And what were those robots?
Also, what about Momoi's game console powering on at that exact moment?
Does this have something to do with the folder labeled "key" from the ruins?
"I checked Momoi's game console right away, but..."
It wouldn't turn on. It was as if it never worked.
Like there wasn't any data on there to begin with.
My head was spinning with so many questions.
"How's Aris?"
Aris is... Um... She's still...
She's still in the club room by herself.
"...Okay."
I tried to talk to her through the door a few times, but...
"It's okay. It'll be okay"
...Sensei?
...!
"It's okay, let me handle it."
"...Okay."
"Aris? Are you in here? Can I come in?"
"I'll take that as yes. I'm coming in."
"Aris."
"Aris, are you okay? Talk to me, please."
...
"Everyone is worried. You haven't eaten anything, and you haven't left the club room."
S-Sensei...
"We're all waiting for you to come back. Let's go, together."
I cannot...do that.
"...Why not?"
"Aris..."
I know it is all my fault.
I do not know why. I do not know what happened.
D-During the...incident...
Something came over me. As if someone booted up a save file I did not know was on my memory card.
"...Ah."
I cannot find it anywhere on my memory card. But it seems to be...in my body, somewhere.
It was like I was playing an old video game I had not played for many years.
Without a tutorial or explanation, I still had a sense of where to go.
...That is how my body responded and acted.
For some reason, I cannot remember what I did...
But it is obvious that...I...I...
I hurt Momoi...!
"Wait, Aris! Let's not overreact..."
But, Sensei... What do I do?
Right, you've hurt her, and that's the truth.
"Who's that?!"
Sensei!
Th-The president...!
It seems my worst fears were realized.
"You're...?"
Are you Schale's Sensei?
...It's a shame that our monumental first meeting had to happen like this.
My name is Tsukatsuki Rio.
I've come here to tell you all something.
The truth about Aris.
