Mm…

[ WELL. well. okay. ]

I… guess I can see your point. Maybe I should think of a better way of putting it…

[holyspirits]

[ they shrug. ]

The choice is still yours to make. It is a choice, regardless of my opinions.

[cupidsammo]

Well ah the good news is I didn't really plan on changing my choice.....

[holyspirits]

Then you can just proceed as normal.

[cupidsammo]

I will!

So, the garden is nice today.

[holyspirits]

It is. It's one of my favorite spots.

[cupidsammo]

Are you a flower enthusiast?

[holyspirits]

No, not especially. It's like my... second favorite. But I like seeing things grow. And it's interesting that it's such a slow process.

[cupidsammo]

Don't most things in nature grow a bit slowly?

[holyspirits]

They do.

[cupidsammo]

Ah... I don't really think about that part much. That's just how it is to me.

[holyspirits]

That's how it works in the physical world.

[cupidsammo]

Normally... Are you used to things going a bit faster?

[holyspirits]

In a way.

Most flowers in the cloud are for decoration, so no one really wants to sit around waiting for them to grow. So they don't. They just make them permanently in bloom.

[cupidsammo]

Huh? Wait, where?

[holyspirits]

The cloud.

[cupidsammo]

[ ....... lifts her eyes to the sky??? ]

[holyspirits]

[ they laugh. ]

How familiar are you with computers? I know we have a lot of different levels of technology that people are used to.

[cupidsammo]

[ ma'am your icon ]

Oh, it's a computer thing? I've used them nearly every day, but I wouldn't call myself an expert or anything. I can... browse the net? I did all my homework on one, too.

[holyspirits]

When you're using the computer or your phone, does it ever give you the option to save something to your account instead of to the device? So that you can access the same files from a separate device without having to find somewhere to upload them specifically?

[cupidsammo]

... Oh! The extra storage—right, got it. That makes more sense.

[holyspirits]

Right.

So that's where I live. Well, sort of. Sometimes the data centers are offline, so it's not exactly the cloud anymore, if you're thinking of it as something connected to the internet.

[cupidsammo]

[ Koharu stares at them. ]

Wait, that's just... data. How—?

[holyspirits]

... That's one perspective.

[cupidsammo]

[ ??? ]

I'm... missing something, aren't I.
