//: we spoke once how am i there lmao

WHY IS IT ALWAYS THINKING

//: "I missed an opportunity to bring up this in a reply" "I could've mentioned that it would've been clever to play off their reply" "it needs to be perfect otherwise people will hate it"

//: oh yay we're doing this again

help

//: i think I'm having one of those days where I'm overly conscious about doing a thing/replying 'correctly' im second guessing myself a lot

—

"I'll help however I can, okay?"

//: one at a time i already put Soul Hackers 2 on my to-do list 😭

— she was capable of was far out of his league. Sticking to what he knew only limited him.

There was a girl transformed into data and inhereted someone else's abilities and memories thanks to a magical mask. Anything was possible.

"It's worth a shot."

A smile returned, beaming at her!

"Could you really do that to a personal computer—?"

Mega Man looked off into the distance in thought, Ringo's theory having sparked a little fire of hope back in him.

He'd never heard of a Navi transforming a computer into a gate. But then again, Ringo wasn't a navi, was she? Whatever —

//: why cant i swap accounts to Rex

//: i feel like i could've done more with that reply

Hub stared at her, utterly speechless.

He hated the idea of just... doing nothing. But whatever solution there could be. Ringo didn't have it, and he especially didn't.

All that could be done was what she asked of him; help her adapt to living here.

". . . Okay."

What else could he even say?

Where the alchemist seemed unsurprised by this development, Mega was becoming increasingly worried.

How could she be so calm? Seemingly unbothered by the possibility of becoming Ringo completely—and permanently.

. . . Did she 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 that outcome?

"We gotta get you home...! Or get that mask off!"

—

"Why don't you tell me more about those biometal things on the way? They sound pretty vital to your work, knowing something might help me figure out how else I can get you home."

— employees asking her questions and wanting to run hours' worth of tests.

" . . . Yeah, I know a good place to leave from.
I don't know how we'll get you back to your world, but this is a good start."
He'd say, turning to start their trek along one of cyberspace's many highway-like roads.

There was 𝘰𝘯𝘦 exit Mega Man knew would always be there; Lan's PC.

Easy to reach, route was memorized from how often he'd gone back and forth to other networks, and would bring the least amount of attention to Aile's presence.
If they took the path to the scilab, she'd probably get swarmed by —

Mega Man, likewise, just stared.

He had no data on this woman. Was she friend? Foe? The staredown she was giving him hinted to foe, but he really wasn't sure.

She sure dressed weird, though.

Rather than breaking the silence, he finally offered a simple gesture—a wave hello.

There is only one thing to do when faced with something like this

bnuuyy...

//: bsky machine still broke

"Hey, I'm not..."

He shook his head. They can talk about that later.

"I'm talking about you! You're talking like Ringo again. Saying you don't know things about the human world.

Didn't you hear yourself?"

//: i don't have the time or money to invest into a gacha anyway I'm okay just admiring the characters from afar lmao

"H-Huh—?"

A little jokey-jokey right that added a big of red in the face to our blue hero, and it coming right after that bizarre comment left him a bit stunned.

"Hey, I.. I was just trying t—

N-No, wait, you! You did it again..."
