[Despite that she does explain, but it's so completely detached it sounds like a machine report than a personal recollection of events.]
I arrived with everyone in an empty black void. There were circles we stepped into. After inputting our names Kazuki and I arrived at an office where we did beta testing.
I woke up to Wolfwood in my apartment. I went to work at that company. I forgot I had any other life. When we looked around I found a picture of someone who'd hanged himself. And then I was sure everything in the world wasn't real. I went to the top of the building. I thought about stepping away from the ledge, but the world was rotting. I stepped off.
I woke up in the server room bleeding. [The reason she was covered in blood.]
We went back to the game and it had an error.
I woke up in my apartment again. It felt real. Wolfwood wasn't there this time. I knew he lived with me. I went looking for him on the balconies. He was planning on killing himself so I would be able to keep living. I took the gun away and shot myself instead.
...Wolfwood came back before you did, with Vash and Haru. So I don't think that was actually him with you. [maybe this does not mean much to kyoko while she's Like This right now, but. it will probably mean something more to her once she snaps out of it, if she looks back at this conversation.]

That's terrible...

I've never enjoyed virtual reality. More so now.

[but... not her world?]

That must have been extremely unsettling once you realized it...
no subject
I didn't realize until I died the second time.
no subject
...the second time? How many times did you...
cw: suicide
I walked off a building and shot myself.
no subject
...let's start from the beginning. Could you tell me what happened?

I woke up in the void again with everyone else.
We took a survey.
We came back.

What kind of survey did they make you take?
no subject
It couldn't have really been him. He doesn't call me by name. He doesn't drink that much either.
I'm going to look for him later.
[ He felt real there, so does he feel real here? ]
If it was worth it. I don't think so.
no subject
[hmm.]
...I wonder why they would want to know that.

You've been warned about the messages that people have been getting after these... right?
no subject
We spoke about them briefly. Not to share them in public or with the Reapers?
no subject
...in any case, once you receive yours, would you mind showing it to me?
no subject
I'll let you know.
