===Yuo’s Board Mode: In DT Castle===

'''<Yuo’s Over Reload>

You are in 3F Personal Room – Yuo’s Living Quarters, a Top Page of the castle.

It is a stone room. A bed and a desk with a support calculator are located along the west wall. A kitchen and a closet are located at the east wall.

You are the only one here.

Yuo: “Wow.”

Yuo: “What do I do now?”

Yuo: “Um, uh, Puppy, lock this door for now.”

Yuo: “And change the door’s wallpaper to match the surrounding stone wall.”

'''<Yuo’s Over Reload>

A diskette appears over the door’s seam and begins to spin.

The door changes to match the wall around it. The odds of it going unnoticed are 87%.

Yuo: “…”

Yuo: “What now? The knights will pursue me if I try to do anything. Can I send a Word Mail?”

'''<All Word Mails on castle grounds require authorization from Archon Suedomsa Txt>

'''<You would either need to access the directional antennae located atop the communications towers on the east and west of the castle walls or acquire communication authority from the central communication tower on the castle roof>

Yuo: “There are knight stations at both those options, so there’s no way I could pull it off.”

Yuo: <This entire mess is caused by Suedomsa, who is actually my dad.>

Yuo: <That means Alternative is actually my sister.>

Yuo: <And Akalabeth apparently tried to use me as a godtact experiment vessel.>

Yuo: “…”

Yuo: “Does that mean dad shot me to death after I made the prophecy?”

Yuo: <…>

Yuo: “Oh, c’mon. You expect me to believe I was shot for such a pathetically vague prophecy?”

Yuo: “Like that would actually happen. Ah ha ha ha ha.”

Yuo: “Ha ha ha ha…ha…sigh.”

Yuo: <This is so depressing.>

'''<Yuo’s Over Reload>

You are now seated on the carpet.

The ferret Mouse on your shoulder is staring at you. She is tapping on your shoulder with her front paw.

Yuo: “Trying to cheer me up?”

Yuo: “Yeah, I’m fine. Really. So don’t worry.”

Yuo: <Okay, I need to think through it all.>

Yuo: <This is real.>

Yuo: <All of it is real.>

Yuo: <Yes, this is all real, Yuo Natas Wav.>

Yuo: <Even if you close your eyes to shut out the visual data, even if you cover your ears to block out the auditory data, even if you block the pain to ignore the tactile data, even if…>

Yuo: “It’s all real, even if you hide in Board Mode.”

Yuo: “I can be hurt and I can hurt others. So can everyone else. We’re all the same.”

Yuo: <It doesn’t matter if I don’t see it, hear it, touch it, or notice it.>

Yuo: “The Plus and Minus worlds exist whether I’m a part of them or not.”

Yuo: “This is real. Every part of this is real. I’m not dreaming.”

Yuo: <nowiki><I’m</nowiki> a part of this reality, so I can’t stay in Board Mode forever.>

Yuo: “Okay.”

Yuo: “…”

Yuo: <Time to switch to Sight!>
