Some of you mentioned that I should update regularly if I want to keep this thing from taking stalker videos of me, so..

Is there something going on right now? I've been really, really sick all day and I can't figure out why. I don't have a fever or anything, Onee-chan thinks I'm faking but I really feel like I'm going to die if this keeps going on. Medicine isn't doing anything either. I went to school but I spent most of the day in the nurse's office.

Please help.

[Ren walks back into the room.]

Well, it looks like I'm stuck here. Haven't been able to get a worldhop out.

[justforyou]

Try hugging someone.

is it hard to get medicine? i'd try to swipe you some pills but i couldn't get them to you anyway.

[hardworks]

Absolutely not!

[ She feels a little better when he walks into the room at least, perking up visibly. She's kind of wondering why. ]

No one's said anything about viruses yet either..

[ At least not to her. ]

I'm sorry about this, but if my sister comes home you'll have to stay in here..

[ He can use the bed, she'll sleep in the closet in shame at sleeping in the same room as a guy. ]

[hardworks]

Not really. I already tried it, it doesn't help much.. There's one thing that does that's pretty weird so we thought it might be this.

[promisedknight]

I can check, but I think I left my phone on the table.

[And for some reason, he's not going anywhere out of that room.]

...Why can't I go out the door?

[justforyou]

Then let someone hug you.

[ALL SHE KNOWS IS THAT IT WORKED FOR SASAYAN]

[hardworks]

[ If this wasn't text, there would be lots of stuttering. She has someone who officially hugs her as part of her job. It's not something she wants to repeat, especially if someone accidentally says the wrong thing. ]

It won't work, trust me. Hugs don't make me feel better, they make me feel weird on a normal basis, so it's not happening!

[hardworks]

You can't leave?

[ There is no connection here between her words and what he's saying. Not in her head. Her face flushes a little though because boy in her bedroom!! This is a red alert, even if it's totally not on purpose or with any weird intents or anything!!

At least she keeps it clean normally..

Anyway, Kanna stands up and heads over to the door, easily walking past the threshold. ]

It works fine. Come on, try again.

[notmynature]

what is it? is it one of those folk remedy things where you mix a lot of weird stuff together?

[hardworks]

Well, someone from the community is over here... somehow?

[notmynature]

somebody break in? are you okay?

[hardworks]

It's fine! It's just Akiyama-san, but it was a surprise. I don't know how I'm going to explain it to Onee-chan if she finds him...

[justforyou]

I know that once there was a virus that you had to be touching another person to feel better.

[She's trying to be helpful, really.]

[promisedknight]

[He tried. He really did. After all, she'd told him to try.

But she hadn't told him he could actually LEAVE yet.]

No luck. Whatever virus this is, it's keeping me stuck...wherever.

[Because clearly the virus was to keep people stuck somewhere. Even in his brain, it sounded stupid.]

[hardworks]

...So this is a virus to keep you stuck in my bedroom?

[ there's a mental WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY screaming in her head right now ]

[hardworks]

I don't have to touch him to feel better. It's fine if he's just nearby, but he can't leave my room now.

[ That said, she kind of has an idea on how to make herself feel better, just not what's going on.. ]

[justforyou]

Well, I guess if you really don't want to touch people that's a good thing.

[promisedknight]

I don't know. Especially since I left fine a minute ago.

[notmynature]

just tell her you had a friend over. that happens all the time.

[hardworks]

Okay... Okay, let's figure this out! You appeared here and can't find a way home. You could leave a minute ago, but you can't leave now. I get sick when you're gone..

[ She puts her finger to her chin, like she's trying to think really hard. ]

[hardworks]

Have there been any viruses where people appear then can't leave your bedroom?

[hardworks]

He's older and male and if he can't leave by tonight it's going to look really suspicious!

[promisedknight]

There was a virus like this before, except that we were actually tied together then.

[And why was he putting his finger to his chin now?]
