[ she sits down! wow this really is a flag. ]

Sure. How can Aoi help you?

[commedia]

Mmm. This may seem like an odd question! But...

[And a little laugh of an exhale.]

Have you ever fallen in love?

[gamerbrain]

[ she has to think about this? for a long time? ]

Yes. Aoi exists to fall in love with the protagonist.

[commedia]

Hm. Well...yes. You exist for that purpose.

[Douman frowns, slightly.]

But do you know what it feels like? To fall in love?

[gamerbrain]

Yep! Aoi knows all about love.

[commedia]

How nice of you. So...tell me. I'm ever so curious. What does it feel like?

[gamerbrain]

The metaphors vary between games. It depends on the writer.

[commedia]

The...writer.

[Hm.]

And what about this game?

[gamerbrain]

[ once again, she has to think back. after all, the game has been patched to be different from the original script. but from what she remembers of how it was supposed to go... ]

Love is... A yearning sort of feeling. It's warm and sad and needy.

[commedia]

Yearning?

[Hmmmm. Douman purses their lips.]

Interesting...ah. Sad, though? Love isn't happy?

[gamerbrain]

... It's happy for moments. When you see the person you love happy. Or when you spend time together.

[commedia]

...

Ah. Well, I don't think I understand that quite yet.

[gamerbrain]

That's okay. We're only in the prologue.

[commedia]

You think a lot more will come down the road? How positive of you, Aoi.

[gamerbrain]

[ she thinks it's just neutral observation... it's fine... ]

[commedia]

[HE KNOWS HE'S JUST POKING FUN]

Mmmm. [And silence again, before he just murmurs to himself.] Ahaha. I have a lot of work to do. So! [And he puts his hands on his knees, grinning.] Aoi! Tell me! What was your desire, upon coming here? Hm?

[gamerbrain]

Aoi came to collect lots of CGs!

[commedia]

...CGs? And what are those?

[gamerbrain]

The character illustrations you unlock during special scenes.

[commedia]

In this...game of yours, yes? The illustrations are just of characters, then?

[gamerbrain]

Yep. Things like dialogue sprites and background art are just normal assets. But the CGs are the important stuff.

[commedia]

And what does it take to get one? What do you need to do?

[gamerbrain]

It varies. Anything zappy will do.

[commedia]

..."Zappy"?

[gamerbrain]

Anything erotic.
