6 6 301 1 Chrome This is my first time connecting to Gestalt... through this way, nonetheless. 1
7 7 302 A backdoor? 8 Virtual space? 8
8 8 301 Chrome Right, I hope this doesn't bring you any troubles in the future. 1
9 9 302 I'm used to it. 10
10 10 301 You are still getting the hang of being in virtual space, and you see Nanami running around energetically.
11 11 301 Nanami Hmm...? But Nanami remembers that this is where the barrier was! 2
12 12 301 Chrome Nothing around here looks particularly out of the ordinary... Nanami, what are those? 1
13 13 301 He approaches the working repair programs to inspect them. They are humanoid in appearance, but Chrome deduces that they are probably not humans... minds of humans, that is.
14 14 204 2 1
15 15 301 Nanami They are the automatic repair programs of Gestalt, repairing damaged parts and recovering lost data streams. 2
16 16 302 I see. 17
17 17 301 Chrome This rabbit-shaped program as well? 1
18 18 301 Nanami Uh-huh, of course—rabbit? 2
19 19 301 Nanami suddenly realizes that the program Chrome is referring to might just be the bugged bunny that led her to the anomaly earlier.
20 20 204 2 5
21 21 301 Nanami Bugged bunny! Where is it?! 2
22 22 301 In the distance, the bunny-shaped program looks up and notices Nanami, and then it instantly runs away like it did before.
23 23 301 Nanami Quickly! Follow it! Captain Chrome, take Commandant with you! 2

25 25 203 1 0.25
26 26 301 Chrome My apologies, Commandant. 1
27 27 302 (Stop resisting) 28 That's not necessary! I can run! 31
28 28 301 Chrome I'm sorry about this! 1
29 29 202 1 2 1
30 30 34 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Before you can react, Chrome has already had you in his arms in a less than dignifying bridal carry, and he speeds up to follow the accelerating Nanami up ahead...
31 31 301 Chrome You're right. A human body won't be that different from a Construct's in the virtual space. Let's quickly follow Nanami, then. 1
32 32 202 1 2 1
33 33 301 AniZhuanchangBegin You nod at Chrome, and the two of you speed up to follow the accelerating Nanami up ahead...
35 35 301 AniZhuanchangEnd Following the speeding Nanami, Chrome and you pass through the hidden barrier and enter the anomaly.
36 36 301 Even though you are not slow by any measure, your bodies are still altered in the anomaly, and you inevitably lose sight of Nanami.
37 37 201 1 500155
38 38 301 1 Chrome This doesn't look different from the virtual space, but this feeling... it's incredibly strange. 1
39 39 301 Chrome can feel his frame moving not entirely according to his will. A proper comparison would be a character in the video games that Kamui would play—as if he is controlling his body through a controller.
40 40 301 Chrome Commandant! Are you feeling alright?! 1
41 41 302 I think I'm in a similar situation to yours. 42
42 42 301 Despite the odd feelings, you still manage to function to a degree.
43 43 302 Where is Nanami? 44
44 44 301 Chrome She was way ahead of us and disappeared with the "bunny." 1
45 45 302 It's dangerous if we just wander about here. 46
46 46 202 1 1
47 47 301 ??? Dangerous? Hahaha! No, no, no—quite the opposite, in fact. The opposite!
48 48 301 A program with a hat on it walks toward you. It looks quite mad in your eyes, but it does not appear to be hostile.
49 49 302 Is this the abnormal program Nanami mentioned? 50
50 50 301 Hat-wearing Program If you're asking if I'm mad—well, I am quite mad indeed, what do you know? But in this land, the madmen are sane, and the sane ones less so.
51 51 201 1 500155
52 52 301 1 Chrome You... where are you from... Why are you here?! 1
53 53 301 Hat-wearing Program You're asking me? I should be asking you!
54 54 301 Chrome and you take a look at each other, both of you confused by the program before you.
55 55 301 Chrome I'm sorry, we do not understand. But if this threatens the safety of Gestalt, it's perhaps best we terminate them, Commandant. 1
56 56 301 Chrome is about to raise his weapon when you hear Nanami's voice.

59 59 301 1 Nanami Stop! Wait! Hold on! 2
60 60 301 Nanami hurries toward the two of you and holds Chrome back. By her side are a dozen of those abnormal programs, one of which is the bunny-shaped program you encountered earlier.
61 61 302 Nanami, what's going on? 62
62 62 301 Nanami Nanami was just taken to the base of these programs, and she has discovered the truth! 2

66 66 301 A tall, female program, walks toward you, and all the programs by her side immedately lower their heads.

72 72 301 1 Nanami They are the data left behind after every time Gestalt repairs itself. They accidentally took over the computing power of Gestalt's buffer area and gradually developed their own AI. 2
73 73 301 Chrome Their own AI?! There's no way Gestalt would allow that to happen. This is a serious error... 1
74 74 202 1 2 1
75 75 201 1 500324
76 76 301 1 Queen Program Must our kind only follow our programmed logic<//SERVENT> dutifully? This is false<//SIN>. 1
77 77 301 Queen Program Therefore I created this area filled with falsehoods and lies<//FREEDOM> to counter she who imprisoned our minds, the one you call Gestalt<//CAGE>. 1
78 78 302 Do you agree with them, Nanami? 79

82 82 301 1 Nanami Nanami isn't sure... But aren't they worth our sympathy? If possible, Nanami wants to help them. 2
83 83 301 Chrome Even if you can help them now, you still can't change the fact that they are not properly programmed AI. They will be removed by Gestalt eventually, won't they? 1
84 84 202 1 2 1

92 92 301 The Queen Program whispers something into Nanami's ear, and Nanami's pupils dilate before she closes her eyes completely, seemingly fallen asleep.

94 94 301 Hat-wearing Program The tea party for the mad is about to begin! Come here for delicious tea, and sweet pancakes! Oh, and funny clowns, of course!
95 95 301 RImgBg1Shake Following the bell tolls that may be ringing in your head, the barrier between the virtual space and the anomaly collapses, and the anomaly begins to devour Gestalt's virtual space.
96 96 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin A bright, white light blinds everyone's consciousness where the two areas clash.
