Nijisa:
>Watch.

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"Alright, I'll time you Fou. Start when you like. Good luck."

V!Daiko:

>Is she showing more emotion?
>> If not: "You're still not showing much... The times you smiled and stuff were lucky, I guess. But the times you were angry or upset were those...
>Try to manipulate our own soul and make ourself... happier. Kira said he could do something emotion-wise like that, so...

Daiyousei:

>"Eh?"

> Fou starts to walk, advancing...

> Not at all.
> "I see..."
> You try to manipulate yourself...
> You have a sensation, and you find yourself in a happier state, though it also feels empty. To be expected, since you know it's your doing.

> "W-Where did it..."
> "..." Nue looks at your group. "So it was you three?"
> Kokoro tilts her head.
> "Huh?" Christine questions.

Nijisa:
>Watch.

> You watch...
> But nothing seems to happen to Marisa.
> "C'mon!"
> She eats another piece, but nothing happens.

Daiko:

>Start counting in our head...

V!Daiko:

>"Could I try something for you? Not physically like those were..."

Daiyousei:

>"What? We've just been watching."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Start counting in our head...

V!Daiko:

>"Could I try something for you? Not physically like those were..."

Daiyousei:

>"What? We've just been watching."

> You start to count... though it's a bit hard to concentrate in not skipping numbers or doing large pauses while thinking in the vision too.
> Fou takes the path at his right.
> ...
> To meet with a dead-end. His ears and tail lower when he realizes this. Starts to go back.

> "Like what?"

> "The towel couldn't have went anywhere besides you three."
> "But it disappeared..." Christine says.
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>We're smart, we should be able to do this with just one vision up...

V!Daiko:

>Try to manipulate Kokoro's soul and make her happier.

Daiyousei:

> "Yea. Vanished."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>We're smart, we should be able to do this with just one vision up...

V!Daiko:

>Try to manipulate Kokoro's soul and make her happier.

Daiyousei:

> "Yea. Vanished."

> You take this seriously. You had 5 or so visions before, so this should be doable...
> Fou meets with another dead-end. Returns again.

> You attempt to...
> But she doesn't show any effect.
> ... You wonder if Kokoro herself attempting to evade manipulations in her feelings, to evade a moment like before...

> "Hmmr..."
> Kogasa gets up and wraps the towel around her.
> "Hey, that's mine..."
> "You can keep that one. Hmph!" Kogasa returns to your group.

V!Daiko:

>"Feeling anything?"

Daiyousei:

>"So you'll just swap towels? Leeeewd."

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"Feeling anything?"

Daiyousei:

>"So you'll just swap towels? Leeeewd."

> "No... I mean, I don't feel like smiling or anything..."

> "I-It's not lewd!" Kogasa blushes.
> "That towel is full of me." Nue gets up.
> "D-DON'T SAY IT LIKE THAT!"
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"Okay. Don't, uh, try to stop anything. Just this once."
>Try again.

Daiyousei:

>"You were on top of her before... I didn't think you were that kind of person Kogasa..."
>Blush and smile as we look to the side a bit.

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"Okay. Don't, uh, try to stop anything. Just this once."
>Try again.

Daiyousei:

>"You were on top of her before... I didn't think you were that kind of person Kogasa..."
>Blush and smile as we look to the side a bit.

> You try again.
> No effects yet.
> "What are you doing?"

> "I-It wasn't intentional!"
> "Well you were struggling with me..."
> "Because you stole my thing!"
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"Trying to make you feel happiness, I guess..."

Daiyousei:

>How are the others?
>"Oh right, what would Sanae think?"

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"Trying to make you feel happiness, I guess..."

Daiyousei:

>How are the others?
>"Oh right, what would Sanae think?"

> "How?"

> Kokoro is... pokerface-ish, while Christine is confused.
> Rachael is not here...
> "S-She won't think anything because this is all her fault!"
> "So if you slept with me you would tell it's my fault and go unscathed?"
> "THAT'S NOT IIIT...!"
> _

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>"With... the soul manipulation thing..."

Daiyousei:

>Giggle.
>"Hm. I wonder where Rachael went."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>"With... the soul manipulation thing..."

Daiyousei:

>Giggle.
>"Hm. I wonder where Rachael went."

> "Oh..."

> "I think she left..." Christine tells.
> "Y-Yea! Let's search for her!"
> Kogasa makes her way out of the room.
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"So?"

Daiyousei:

>"W-Wait, you can't just leave out like this. None of us have clothes. What if Daiko's out?"

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"So?"

Daiyousei:

>"W-Wait, you can't just leave out like this. None of us have clothes. What if Daiko's out?"

> V!Kokoro shrugs.

> Kogasa stops.
> "I-I don't know..."
> "Well, we got like this for a reason, didn't we?" Nue raises her hands to the sides in a shrug. "The sauna is at the other room.

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>Try again.

Daiyousei:

>"Then let's go already."

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>Try again.

Daiyousei:

>"Then let's go already."

> You try.
> Nothing.

> The group departs.

[Neovereign]

Daiko:

>Has he completed it yet?

V!Daiko:

>"Aw. I hoped that would work..."

Daiyousei:

>Follow

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Has he completed it yet?

V!Daiko:

>"Aw. I hoped that would work..."

Daiyousei:

>Follow

> About to.

> V!Kokoro shrugs.

> You follow and go to the sauna.
> "Oh woah, this is hot already." Nue giggles.

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>Try feel for what emotions Kokoro's soul has...

Daiyousei:

>"We left it running for a while..."
>Is Rachael here?

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>Try feel for what emotions Kokoro's soul has...

Daiyousei:

>"We left it running for a while..."
>Is Rachael here?

> You try to identify...
> ...
> You can identify emotions, but it seems that Kokoro herself doesn't know how to deal with them as they are and feel pretty messy. As if a child mixing things up.

> Yes. She's sitting already...
> "Indeed."
> Kogasa sits next to Rachael uncomfortably.
> "You took a while..." She says.
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"Let me try something else, please."
>If she doesn't object, try to order these emotions so they aren't as messy.

Daiyousei:

>"They got into a bit of a fuss about towels..."

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"Let me try something else, please."
>If she doesn't object, try to order these emotions so they aren't as messy.

Daiyousei:

>"They got into a bit of a fuss about towels..."

> You attempt...
> "That felt strange..."

> "What?"
> "Towel thief. Nothing else." Kogasa shakes her head.
> "I-Is there a towel thief here?!"
> "... Sort of..."
> Nue chuckles when Kogasa glares at her.
> _

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"That's me trying to... change how your emotions are, a bit."
>Continue.

Daiyousei:

>"Yea. Nue swiped Kogasa's for a moment..."

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"That's me trying to... change how your emotions are, a bit."
>Continue.

Daiyousei:

>"Yea. Nue swiped Kogasa's for a moment..."

> "How they are?"
> You continue...
> You don't really know how to order it... So you just separate those that are mixed with others...

> "Oh..."
> "And I was victorious, hey. This isn't mine." Nue giggles, sitting down.

[Neovereign]

V!Daiko:

>"How do you feel Koko-chan?"

Daiyousei:

>"They're all Daiko's family's anyways...

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

>"How do you feel Koko-chan?"

Daiyousei:

>"They're all Daiko's family's anyways...

> "Weird."

V!Daiko:

Daiyousei:

[Tashi]

V!Daiko:

Daiyousei:

>"Don't steal them, please..."

> You try to make the emotion of happiness to be the most prominent...

> "Mhmhm."
> ... ...
> V!Kokoro just... giggled very lightly...

> "Eh, I am not in the urges of going all out for towels."
> You hear a bit of a small giggle.
