It's not that I completely disagree with you... I mean, history shows technology making an impact to our lives, both good and bad.

[Such as using it to use it against others during wars, conflict, personal reasons. Despair. He mentally slapped himself and hoped he didn't look far too tense that moment.]

Like- technology also evolves in such an amazing pace, a breakthrough can later evolve into making machines like aiding health and other things to help people. It's just, well... one of the reasons why I love programing.

['To help and give hope to others in a way I can,' as aware how terribly cliched it all sounds.]

It is remarkable, isn't it? Hundreds of years ago, it could take several generations for an invention to be discovered that could change lives. But now, it seems like new innovations are created every year. It's fascinating.

[Of course, Naoya had no interest in directing such progress towards good or bad. If the path of humankind resulted in ultimate despair, he would just sit back and watch the show. He only had one ultimate goal. But Chihiro didn't need to know any of that.]

More and more, humankind is taking steps towards seizing full control of its own destiny. I want to see that happen - don't you?

[shyhacker]

[Again, Chihiro fell into silence, this time not entirely sure how he'd respond. He wasn't even sure Naoya was a normal human like him at this point, but in contrast, Chihiro was just a small boy. A boy who had experienced humanity sinking into chaos from despair in his version of Japan no less. ]

I-I'm...

[Oh god, breath. Do not give in to tremble in fear. Breath. Do not give in.]

I'm sorry but I'm not really comfortable to say my definite answer on that. I mean, I-I understand that it may seem fascinating, but um... to gain a full control of their destiny, one person can very well make a huge impact, in my opinion.

[He's thankful he's sitting now, had he been standing, his knees would have give in very easily.]

[caincarnate]

[Naoya laughed again, somehow sounding easy-going and ominous at the same time.]

I'm sorry - am I making you nervous? It wasn't my intention. I can get carried away sometimes... don't mind my rambling.

[shyhacker]

No, it's... Alright. I can get away with my own rambling- so I can't really say much.

['It's just that it kinda reminds me of something that had happened.']

It's just that it kinda reminds me of something that had happened.

[... did he just speak his thoughts aloud.]

[caincarnate]

[That little addendum did not go by unseen. Naoya, intrigued, leaned forward with a prying smile.]

Oh? Tell me about it.

[shyhacker]

[It's pretty clear as day that Chihiro is now as pale a ghost.]

I really... rather not say, I'm sorry.

[caincarnate]

[It must've been something terrible indeed - which only made him more curious, but at the same time, he knew pushing for information would likely like him clam up even more. Aw well. Naoya nodded sagely.]

I understand. The past can be a difficult thing to face, much less discuss with others. Whatever it may be, I hope that having a COMP will be able to give you some peace of mind.

[shyhacker]

[Ah, if only. Too bad it's going to have something happen to make Chihiro spit that particular information out.]

It's- yes, thank you... I really appreciate all the support you have given- both to me and Alter Ego.

Um... I think I overdue my stay here- I'll be going now.

[Nervously, he rose from his seat and did a shaky bow before wobbling his way out of the office.]

[caincarnate]

[Naoya's red eyes followed him as he took his leave, an ominous smile on his face the whole time.

Well, it would be interesting to see what this timid child did with such power. Having strength changed a person - and bestowing it onto someone who normally had none was a fascinating catalyst. He was looking forward to the results.]

Take care, Fujisaki Chihiro.
