Nanami Chiaki. The Super High School Level Gamer.

There's no way to verify that she's telling the truth about the things she says, of course.

[superordinary]

I know. I don't really think she has any reason to lie, though.

Can we talk about this in person?

[freshprints]

It'll be a few days before I can get back.

[Given that she's still in Ecruteak, following the Thanksgiving Tornado thing.]

We're going to have to, though. The things she said...it's going to be up to us to find a way to tell the others.

[superordinary]

How many days? To be honest, I'm confused and in need of answers soon.

You asked her a lot of questions, right? I'd be surprised if you didn't.

[freshprints]

[Math math math...]

If I leave early tomorrow morning, I can be back by late tomorrow night. We could also talk even sooner if you were to meet me halfway — we'd have the remainder of the ride back.

I found out who she claims to be, where she comes from, why she knows us, and some of what's happened since...graduation. Assuming everything she says is true.

[superordinary]

I found out about the field trip turning into a mutual killing because Monobear took over. But I didn't want to pester her with too many questions since she's new here so I thought I'd ask you to fill me in instead.

Let's meet halfway.

[ That way he gets to spend some time alone with Kirigiri while at it. c: ]

[freshprints]

I'd heard that, too. She seems to think the mastermind may have left behind a contingency plan, such that the killing games could continue even after that person's death.

...

She says Alter Ego-san survived, Naegi-kun.

[superordinary]

So one game isn't enough for Enoshima... I don't think I'll ever understand how a person can enjoy causing so much despair.

...

Thank you for telling me, Kirigiri-san. I'm really glad to hear he survived. :)

[freshprints]

I am too. :)

Was Nanami-san unusually receptive to answering your questions, of the few that you asked?

[superordinary]

Yeah, she was rather receptive now that I think about it.

[freshprints]

I thought so. She'll attempt to avoid the truth at times, but she can't outright refuse to answer you if you ask her for something.

[superordinary]

...What's stopping her from refusing?

[freshprints]

"I am a person who cannot ever disobey the Future Foundation." That's how she put it.

If she had said, "I am a person who cannot ever disobey Chihiro Fujisaki", what would you think?

[superordinary]

I would think that's an odd thing to say because she told me she's never met him.

Did she tell you anything about what this "Future Foundation" is? She mentioned it, but it didn't mean anything to me.

[freshprints]

From what I've been able to ascertain, the "Future Foundation" is something that lies in our future — after graduation. It consists of the six of us who survived, at the very least; there may be others.

She told me the answers to the questions I asked because she won't disobey a member of the Future Foundation.

[superordinary]

In that case, not wanting to disobey us makes sense since I'm assuming we're her superiors or something like that? But that doesn't explain why she would obey Fujisaki-kun. She's never met him and he's dead.

[freshprints]

There's still another possibility.

If Alter Ego-san had been told, "You must not disobey the members of the Future Foundation"...isn't it natural that he would also still obey Fujisaki-kun?

[superordinary]

I think so, since Fujisaki-kun is the person who created him.

[freshprints]

That's why Nanami-san wouldn't refuse him, either.

[superordinary]

...

Wouldn't that make her an AI?

[freshprints]

That's the way it seems.

Of course there's no way of verifying her story. But that's what she says.

[superordinary]

Something's not adding up here. Fujisaki-kun's her creator, but she said she never met him.

[freshprints]

I think it's a matter of technicality. She calls Alter Ego her "big brother"; it's possible he's the one responsible for her, and so Fujisaki-kun is her creator indirectly.

[superordinary]

So they're an AI family?

[ That's actually kind of cute. ]

[freshprints]

That's how it sounds. Do you think we should adopt her?
