===Aoe’s Sight Mode: In DT Castle===

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

Aoe gained his sight from his position pinned to the floor.

In front of him, he saw Yuo with her arms bound. She took a breath and bowed toward Algo.

Algo smiled bitterly and nodded back.

“Is there anything you need to avoid giving up?”

“No, not anymore. Besides, I am looking beyond that – into the future past my decision to not give up. That is why I sent a word mail as insurance before you entered my room.”

She smiled bitterly.

“You could call it a message of support to ensure my memory-erased self doesn’t pull away from Senpai after choosing not to give up.”

“Did you send it to Aoe?”

“Wouldn’t you like to know. No messing with the word mail settings to erase it. That would be cheating.”

Still smiling bitterly and turned toward Aoe.

Her bitter smile looked a lot brighter to his eyes.

She kept that expression as she approached him and crouched down.

He watched as she kneeled and sat down.

She was within arm’s reach.

So he placed his hands on the floor and shifted his body. The metal staff pushed down with more force, but he ignored it.

'''“Yuo.”

A shattering glass sound came from his back and he lifted his upper body.

She nodded at the Text of his will and reached out her hands.

She touched his cheeks to prop him up.

She leaned her face in, shut he eyes, and moved even closer.

'''“Senpai.”

A shattering glass sound came from her head.

Then their lips touched.

Aoe felt the damp sensation of her lips and…

“Oh.”

He heard a sound like striking pebbles from between their lips.

By the time he realized their teeth had collided, she was blushing and pulling her head back.

Her shut eyes bent into a smile.

“That’s three times now we’ve done the same thing.”

“Y-you fool.”

Aoe realized now was the time to act. This would be his last chance with her so close.

He gathered strength in his shoulders for just a moment in preparation to save her.

But something stopped his movement.

Yuo’s words. Her smile had lost its bitterness, but she shook her head.

“Senpai.”

That familiar title stopped him from moving. She lowered her eyebrows a little.

“Let me say one thing. I have always wished we could be together forev-”

Before she could finish, a sound like tearing fibers came from the back of her head.

'''<Yuo has been temporarily frozen while her Memory Lives are altered. Processing during the freeze will be handled by the DT OS.>
