[ the audio recording opens up with someone breathing heavily. Not the kind of panting that follows physical exercise, but an uneven, stuttered sort that belies disbelief. shock. ]


...It's tomorrow. It's tomorrow. Ohhh dip, oh dip, oh--heck. Dip. Dip dip diiip, it's really here. Ahahaha...ha...haha...ahhh... It didn't end. It didn't end and it didn't start over and the sky didn't melt and it's tomorrow...!

Please tell me you guys noticed--it's not just me noticing this right?? Someone answer me and tell me you noticed!


[ this may seem like a bit of an odd thing to post on the network but L I S T E N. When you've been trapped in a 13-day time loop for 186.604 years, Tomorrow^TM really matters. Nenonen's, like, ready to hyperventilate here SOMEONE CONFIRM THIS IS TOMORROW PLS?? ]

[ thank you Ryouma, u understand ]

Sort of? Just
Today is really tomorrow right? Tell me that first

[kaientai]

That's right. Today is a different day than it was yesterday. If we'd been in a loop, I'm sure I would've noticed.

[ at least, he's reasonably sure he would. he's been dealing with time-related nonsense for a long time. ]

Eh? What's tomorrow? Is it a big holiday?

[essenceborn]

What? No I don't know I don't knwo what a holiday is
Just tell me if it's really tomorrow today!

[roundandaround]

Isn't it today today? But yesterday, yesterday was today, so today is yesterday's tomorrow... Now I'm confused.

[applehearted]

The days are passing here, yes.

Although I suppose that in another world that can be a bit of a surprise to some.

[essenceborn]

So you really know it's tomorrow and you really remember everything that's happened so far? This isn't the first day here for you?

[applehearted]

It is not the first day for me.

But that would be easy to crosscheck by looking through the logs.

[bountyfull]

[If he hadn't noticed Nen's username, the excessive use of the word dip definitely clues him in.]

????

Nenonen, are you ok?

[essenceborn]

[ o Vash ;u; u really listen to Nen♥ ]

Vash! You remember me??

[ Nen just really needs to get that out of the way first okay, no one except the thirteen experiments ever remember the time loops, so nothing carried over when the loop reset. But if it's really Tomorrow and Vash does remember them... ]

[bountyfull]

[He blinks at his device.]

Yeah, why wouldn't I?
Am I not supposed to?

[Help?]

It's not tomorrow, it's today.

Unless we were speaking from the perspective of yesterday.

[essenceborn]

That's not what I mean!

[paradiseunboxed]

Then, what did you mean?

The dawn of a new day goes unnoticed by those accustomed to its arrival.
Congratulations are in order. Or perhaps condolences for what awaits you now.

[essenceborn]

This is the first time this has happened I don't know what to do
What if everything starts repeating again?

Chipp...! Time is moving, days are actually happening!

[ NEN HEARD BUT DIDN'T BELIEVE UNTIL NOW... ]

It's Day Fourteen. It didn't start over!

[emissarium]

Is the natural passage of time unusual in some way for you?

[essenceborn]

Not really. This is the first time I've made it to day fourteen.

[mysophobic]

Are you...okay? Of course, it's tomorrow. I haven't cleaned my kitchen or apartment yet. I never start the day without doing that first...

[essenceborn]

[ Shigeru.... Ugh, that's so mundane. Normal. It sounds like another day like any other day for him, and it probably is, and it's tomorrow. Nen drops their face into their bed with a scoff and a laugh. Only after a few moments do their lift their head and type a reply. ]

I'm fine. [ it's Fine ] Just haven't seen a tomorrow in a really long time. That's all.

What were you expecting to end?


The world?

[essenceborn]

Is it weird if I say yes? Because yes. It's what usually happens before things go back to the beginning.
