1!

...that is, Nick, you do seances?

Just purely from curiosity... _[/lie] Does that only work on people that have died here, in Hinoto-ri's world?

[ghost_shield]

Hi, you're interested in seances? I... can't say I've ever actually done any for anybody off-world yet, so I couldn't say either way. Why do you ask?

[terminalemulation]

Well, I mean... as an AI, I've always been... I suppose you could say I've known a lot of people over time, especially back home, but all most of them have died. So the idea of a conversation beyond that... hurdle... does make me curious.

[ghost_shield]

I see. That makes sense, I suppose. Like I said, I haven't really tried it before. I suppose it's worth a shot, but I can't make any guarantees.

[terminalemulation]

I figured from the beginning that the possibility would be low. Unrealistic, even.

[ghost_shield]

That so? Well, if you ever change your mind, I might give it a shot. Don't know until you try, right?

[terminalemulation]

That's right! I'll definitely keep the chance, however slim it is, in mind.

Thank you for your time, Nick.

Anytime, *Hyun-ae.
