[Nodding, nodding... Her marshmallow has been temporarily forgotten and is kind of, uh. Dying in the fire. But it's fine.]
I see... So, what you're essentially doing is looking at the bright side of everything. That's pretty amazing. [Is it? Oh, well. She continues holding this poor skewer in the fire while humming an affirmative.] A researcher, actually. For Touhou University. You should come visit my campus when you're done here! Did you know there are a lot of bears around this time of year?
[Why is she saying that last part like it's a fun and exciting bonus...]
Not much else to do right now, besides flip out. Can't find rainbows if you're looking down. [ why is this nineteen year old japanese teenager quoting charlie chaplin? because hypmic.
anyway. the bears thing makes him tilt his head, and then laugh, big and bright. ] What, seriously? This school's got a bear for a principal, apparently. Is that just a college thing? Straight up bears?
I mean - if you'd have me, I'd love it. What're you researching...?
You know what it is? Great! You have no idea how many blank looks I've gotten lately...
[A dramatic sigh. She suffers.]
Why don't I give a practical example? A while ago, I developed the base for a popular concierge app that has taken all of Japan by storm. You know what a concierge app is all about, right?
Yeah, man. I think most've the people here live in some kind of weird fantasy world? I've taught like four people how to type.
[ incredible
anyway!! he is in fact a Modern (a future, even) so he nods. ] Yeah, kinda. They're the ones that are like personal assistants, right? Helps you do stuff based on where you are, or whatever?
It's pretty fascinating, isn't it? Time and space have lost all meaning in a world like this. It's too bad we couldn't find out about this place on our own.
[They could have gotten a smoother arrival and welcome, maybe. Whew.]
That's right! Whatever problem you may have, all you have to do is reach into your pocket to find a solution.

Straight up bears. [Then, in a deeper tone of voice:] Go, bears!
[It is not straight up bears.]
Artificial intelligence. I specialize in the research and development of it.

[ he doesn't look like he believes that at all, but plays along anyway, laughing. ]
- And that's cool. What kind of artificial intelligence? Sounds a little bit more like my world.
