[ inb4 no you can't see each other at the pool, but Akira does not at all seem worried. This is also a perfect time to unwind? At least until the thought bubbles start happening and people will notice when you're checking people out.

Rip. ]

I think we just recruited Yusuke in this memory... But the cat started giving him the rundown of what we do.

[ IT'S TIME... Akira will try to separate this so it doesn't overwhelm her. ]

It has to do something about a Metaverse and a phone app called the Nav takes us there. The Metaverse is where "Palaces" exist, basically where we do our thing—apparently, they're worlds that take form from someone's cognition? They only form from people with strong "distorted desires". Kamoshida was mentioned as an example... So I'm guessing wherever we saw him in, what we were doing, that crown, it all had to be in a Palace.

[ Wait he lost track of his explanation. Coming back: ]

To use the app, we need a full name, location, and distortion to access someone's Palace. [ ... ] Yusuke is pretty smart and understood most of it pretty quickly.

[ LIKE THE DUDE JUST ACCEPTED IT ALL WITH NO TROUBLE? Good questions. ]
