I think so. Would it only be certain people whose perceptions changed an entire building like that? A school contains so many people... in that example, would the, um... "king" have been someone in notable standing in the real world?

[. . . dang, she's really good at this. but hey, she is a doctor! so that's fair]

That's right. He was a highly respected and well-known teacher at the school. And that was probably the source of his distorted desires in the first place.

[Quantum Computer, yo.]

I imagine another person wouldn't just be able to affect that unless they, in turn, had some sort of strong impact on the real-life influencer...

How would you even enter a place like that? You're... you're not an esper, are you?

[survivaltricks]

[a huffed noise of amusement]

No, I'm not.

I used a phone app.

[yeah. that'st he answer. he uses a phone app]

[brokethefirst]

An app... o-oh, you mean a software application?

How... how does that work?

[survivaltricks]

I--







Have no idea.

[I'M SORRY HE CAN'T ANSWER THAT AAAAH]

We enter a Palace's keywords and then it takes us to the Metaverse. The mechanics are something completely beyond me.

[brokethefirst]

[aw. She was so curious.]

I... I'll have to accept that for now, won't I? Anyway, um... I assume a Palace is a specific place?

And when you say "we"... who do you mean?

[survivaltricks]

Oh-- right. The Palace is what we call the distorted locations in the Metaverse. So in the castle example, the Palace would be the castle.

[as for her second question. . .]

"We."

I mean myself and my team.

[his team of highly trained (lol) phantom thieves]

[brokethefirst]

A whole team of heart thieves... [IT'S LIKE A TV SHOW >:0]

I guess it makes sense. You're very kind and charismatic. I... I could see you leading others to a cause.

[. . . Luna. . . Akira can't help but let out a breathless laugh at that, touched by her compliment]

It's true that they all voted me to be their leader, and I did my best to guide them towards victory after victory.

[his expression is a little distant now, like he's reminiscing, and the fondness and love in his eyes is unmistakable]

They stood by me when I needed people to the most. They are. . . my most important people.
