A little concerning, wasn't it? We'll just have to keep looking into things and see what happens. But as long as we try to stay calm, I think we'll be okay.

[ gazes at the status updates. i guess rave time is what happens? ]

Uh... That's new.

[countermeasures]

What on earth...?

[dms]

Blue, red, yellow, pink, purple...? Hey, aren't most of those colors some of us found while looking around? Except for the pink...

[countermeasures]

...they correspond to the colors on our profiles, though. Crystalline has that pink color, right?

[dms]

You're right... Maybe someone did find something pink and said anything to everyone yet? Or... maybe we should watch out for it.

Or... does it mean we're prying too much?

[countermeasures]

It's hard to say... the timing is a little...

[...]

It was right after we were prying into things, but that could have been a coincidence... maybe if we do find more things, we should try to be a little more subtle about sharing them, and see if that makes a difference?

[dms]

It's a little worrying, right?

I guess so... The residents did say the prism is reacting to us, but... I don't know. I don't like the idea of leaving anyone in the dark if something strange is happening, either.

[countermeasures]

I don't either.

[...]

But there are so many variables in this situation, and there's so little we understand about the prism. I do think it's important to figure out what causes it to react and what doesn't. That might require a certain amount of experimentation.

[dms]

That's true. I'll be happy to help if I can, but I do hope we don't push its reactions too far in the wrong direction somehow. I have to make sure Kumon-kun gets home safe, you know?

[countermeasures]

Along with you, right?

[you BOTH have to get home safe!!]

[dms]

Yeah, along with me. I have family to go home to just like Kumon-kun, and Mankai Company is relies on me for a lot. I don't want to let them down.

[countermeasures]

Good.

...and you will. I don't care how difficult it might seem to get out of here - we will be going back.

[dms]

Definitely. Most of the people here wouldn't accept anything else, would they?

...I don't think this is necessarily has to be a bad place. We just need to learn more about it. Riff-san was right that some of us have been making assumptions based on a few things, and that's not fair to the residents or the prism itself.

[pictured here: conversations that didn't age well]

It may not have to be, no. But none of us asked to be here. Learning about what sort of place this is won't make us want to go home any less.
