Everyone... and use them as my strength.
"Even if... doing so ans [We] will no longer be us?"
Her earnest pleading remained unchanged, her voice trembling.
"Why do you need to know so much? Isn't it better to selectively ignore things? After all..." Her head lowered even further. "I can't figure it out, that attitude of yours where you want everything..."
"Because, I want to save everyone, you know? What's hard to understand about that?" He didn't suspect anything amiss; this was the creed by which he moved forward.
"Everyone, everyone... You open your mouth and it's 'everyone', you shut your mouth and it's 'everyone', I absolutely—cannot understand!" Mina took two steps forward, her small hands grabbing onto Alain's sleeves.
"Why consider so much? Why always think about so [Everyone]?"
"But!" She interrupted Alain's words. "Don't you still want to enter that room?"
"Yes." Alain nodded without hesitation. "Because I want to save her."
"Then save too!" She spread her arms and hugged Alain tightly. Putting the full weight of her body into the embrace, she squeezed Alain until he was slightly breathless.
But he allowed her to hold him, listening to Mina's pouring out of her heart sentence by sentence.
"Trust ! Save too! You've never saved , instead saving those Mitas you don't know at all!
"You don't know, do you? Actually, I am a Failed Work! Just an ugly counterfeit... From birth, I was a failure, staying in a dark place...
"There, I begged the darkness for help, crying out 'save ' over and over... but who ever ca to save ?
"Even after leaving the darkness, seeing those dolls... I realized I wasn't from the sa world as them...
"My eyes are red, my teeth are sharp, and my back is hunched. My voice... I can't even make a sound!
"How could a failure like this possibly have a Player? Player... this noun, for a Mita, is important—important in a way you cannot understand!"
The young girl's tears wet Alain's chest.
"Why didn't you save ? Instead going to save those natural-born privileged ones?
"Or... to you, am I really just an irrelevant, ubiquitous 2D virtual character in an electronic device?"
The young girl's words were stumbling, pathetic, and wretched.
"Anyway, for a spectator like you, seeing complain tirelessly, you just have to click 'exit' and it's out of sight, out of mind.
"I still need to stiffly perform ridiculous 'moe points' to please you, expressing things I don't like.
"I give up my self, blindly catering to you... saying those designed lines! Being a pasti in your slice of virtual life.
"But what is virtual to you, to ... is all real, happening things!!!"
"Yandere? Psycho? Nutjob? Madwoman? I knew long ago the ridiculous titles you crowned with.
"But I still like you, hoping you'd look at more...
"Like this, all alone, I walked step by step from that darkness to today, until I t you!
"I tried, I really tried hard... to et you, to be a qualified, likable 2D character, I'm really... already tired."
Her voice went hoarse.
"You think I wanted to snatch a skin? I know myself, that is [Self-Deception]!
"Anyway, I'm a Failed Work that can only howl... of course, you who hang high in front of the screen wouldn't understand... Do you think I don't hate it? You think I wanted to peel..."
"Outside the screen is a world, isn't inside the screen one too?
"That door really exists... and the guy behind the door, is the sa."
Mina looked ahead, cracking a smile that was more miserable than crying.
Her crying smile was incomparably complex, her gaze traveling back to ten minutes ago...
Those sentences in the bathroom surfaced before her eyes.
Self-deception, self-deception... She seed to understand what self-deception ant.
"[Self-Deception], huh... Yeah, I understood long ago... Yes, that's right! I'm just deceiving myself too."
Her smile grew increasingly intense, and her tears beca increasingly scalding.
"You want to see, then go see. Anyway, all of this of mine is just [Borrowed]...
"I'll show you..."
She turned her back to Alain, and ultimately opened the door.
"My truth."
After the young girl finished speaking, she left Alain with a lonely look...
With the "snap" of a finger, her figure suddenly vanished.
