WEEK 2
Saturday passes uneventfully save a little rain. It's on Sunday that you get a little notification of probation for new areas: Neo-Nipponbashi and Chuo. It'd be possible to investigate, to check out some anime, or to worship the defunct Shinkansen. But maybe it's hard to get excited about any of that when Friday’s events suggest that you have simply been provided some additional photogenic places to commit murder. Are you going to bother either overseer after their participation in some mockery of justice? Troll the internet? Get a bat out of Hyper Zone and just take out your frustration on everything?
Those of you who entered the pods will experience fewer “painful bursts of color” as your body is unaffected below the knees, though the same amount of “slight teleportation” glitches. Those of you who abstained from the pods will continue to experience all of the above as well as electric shock sensations occasionally when touching metal objects.

((Internet investigations of any kind go here, and for all IRL areas, please use "investigate" in the subject line of your top-level comment, or link the thread to a moderator!))

You feel as if you are with your aunts. Who will tell you what to do, who will leave your material needs left, who will provide a purpose and direction for your life. Yes or no: Is it enough to exist and be loved?]
cw abuse, imagery of suffocation, just not a pleasant tag
It's so comforting. It's like a soft pillow (smothering him so he can't breathe). It's like a hot spring (with chains on his feet pulling him under). It feels more intense in these pods where there is nothing and nobody else than it does in reality.
He is the only person in this world and he is so, so, so, so, so loved.
How could any man be more fortunate? The itch on his wrists, as though the wounds on them had never healed, is the mark of the chosen.
Nobody else will ever experience such bliss. Nobody else will ever owe a deeper debt of gratitude.
It is not enough to be loved. Love needs repayment, love needs obedience, love needs perfection.
To be loved is the most important goal o all - as long as you earn that love, nothing else matters. And love is never unconditional. ]
cw abuse
You feel vindicated in this decision. Your aunts would praise you. It may have been initially unpleasant, too vulnerable, but it was the right choice. How are you to go home and be their prized successor if you are some pile of colors? You are to be a uniform shade of blue, black, whatever they pick for you.
Please get up at the indicated time. The last line on your graph has risen.]
