They probably wanted to surprise us...

[screwdrivers]

[ Mmnn ... ]

I don't think we really need any surprises in a place like this ...

[ Being dead and all. ]

[superhacker]

... I know.

[ Chihiro sure isn't happy to know he's dead. Then again, who would be? He doesn't even remember how he died at all. ]

[screwdrivers]

[ Mmnn, Keisuke is just going to sigh at that and pick at his food a little more. Looking a little more down, and ... well, he's not really sure what to say now. ]

[superhacker]

[ Awkward silence, the worst obstacle for socializing... Chihiro will speak up some time later. ]

I suppose we can... meet again sometime, at school?

[screwdrivers]

[ Sob. If only he were better at socializing ...

But he thinks he may have found a friend? At least, Chihiro wants to meet him again sometime, so that's good!

Smiling a little. ]

Yeah, I'd like that.

[superhacker]

[ Ah, good... he nods, smiling back. ] Which class are you from?

[screwdrivers]

[ Hmmnn ... what class is he from ...

He's not exactly used to this kind of thing, and he hasn't really been there much besides looking around the place ... OOPS ... ]

Uhh, I'm not really sure ...

[superhacker]

You're not? Aren't you a student from the school? [ But he can't be an NPC either, though. ]

[screwdrivers]

I ... think so. I mean, my room is in the dorms, but ... [ Hmmmnn ... he feels kind of irresponsible now ... ]

I haven't really been going to the school that much ...

[superhacker]

You haven't? [ That's so weird. Who wouldn't want to go to school? A normal school, to boot? There must be good reasons why people skip it, right? ]

... Can I ask why?

[screwdrivers]

[ He isn't exactly used to normal school or anything in the first place, but ... sob ...

Kiiind of acting a little awkward then. ]

W-Well, I haven't really gone out much at all. I ... wasn't in the mood. [ Which is code for he's been in intense depression since he died —

Going to school was the last thing on his mind and still is ... ]

[superhacker]

[ ... Guess it's understandable. ]

I see... I never had a chance to go to a normal school, so I'm very glad to go. [ More like, the only real school experience turned out to be rather tragic... ]

[screwdrivers]

[ Aaah, someone else who's kind of in the same boat then? ]

Ah, hey, neither have I.

[ Which is partially why he has no idea what to do here ... ]

[superhacker]

Really? So... you still need to get used to it?

[screwdrivers]

Mnn, yeah, I guess so. [ A pause — this is probably his only chance. ] Do you think you could help me? I'm not really sure what good going to school in the afterlife will do, though.

[superhacker]

Ah... w-well, I don't think it's actually necessary to go to school, but if you really want to go- I can try to help you.

[screwdrivers]

[ Mmnn. ]

Well, it's not like there's a whole lot to do here, anyway, and it could serve as a distraction, I guess ... [ A pause. ] And I guess it'd be nice to go to a normal school.

[superhacker]

It feels kind of good... but I try not to get too much into it. I was told people disappear if they live too much normally in here.

[screwdrivers]

[ skjhdg damn ... ]

Aah, really? Some afterlife this is ...

[superhacker]

I know... and I don't understand why this happens.
