Present Reactions[]
When you give Chihiro a present, they will give you a different reaction depending on how much they like it. There are two possible reactions for each "tier" of present (apart from "Likes" and "OK"), and which of the two reactions you receive is random. Each line is a separate response.
Loves
Huh? A present...? Yaay! Thank you so much!
Ooh, it's really amazing! I'll take really good care of it. I'll hold on to it forever...
Likes
Thank you, Makoto... Ehehe. This is the first time I've ever gotten something like this...!
OK
I...can have this? Thank you. This has made me feel a little better...
Dislikes
I-I'm grateful, really. But... It's enough that you even thought of me.
I can't take this. It's...too nice. I think it'd be better if you held on to this, Makoto...
Hates
Um...well... I'm sure someone else will appreciate having that more than me. Maybe you should find someone to give it to who can make better use of it...
I hope you don't hate me for this, but... Well, see...I mean, it's not that I can't accept it... I-I'm sorry...!

Introduction[]
???
Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Chihiro Fujisaki... Sorry, I get kinda embarrassed whenever I introduce myself like this...
Anyway, I hope we can get along...
Same here. Nice to meet you.
...Huh? Maybe it's just my imagination, but...have we met before?
Um, I don't think so. We just met for the first time. Which is why I said "nice to meet you."
Oh, yeah. Good point. Sorry...
Y-You don't have to apologize for that.
Oh, yeah...
Chihiro Fujisaki is known for all the cutting-edge programs she's created. She's theUltimate programmer. She's also got that timid little bunny type thing going, which has endeared her to her legion of fans.
Hey, so listen...
I-I'm really sorry.
Huh? What are you apologizing for now?
Well, just cuz...you seem upset. You must be mad at me, right?
No, not at all! I was just lost in thought about something.
Huh? Lost in thought...?
Yeah! It had nothing to do with me being upset or anything.
Oh, that's good. I was afraid maybe you didn't like me.
Hehe... I'm glad!
... I'm starting to understand why her fans are so into her...

Spend some time with Chihiro
No... No...!
What's wrong, Chihiro?
Ahh, it hurts...
Huh? Did you get hurt, Chihiro?
Oh, well...not really. I got bit by a mosquito last night.
A mosquito...? Oh, I figured something serious had happened, since you were saying how it hurt.
Oh, did I give you the wrong impression...? S-Sorry...!
You don't have to apologize. It was my own fault. But you said it hurts? Did it really bite you that hard?
Yeah, see? Look.
She held out her arm. The huge red bump stood out clearly against her pale skin.
Holy cow!
It's way past itchy now. It really hurts...!
But why's it so big? Did it bite you while you were sleeping or something?
Oh, no. I was awake.
But you didn't notice?
No, I noticed. But...
But what?
Well, I felt it bite me, and I looked down at it. But I didn't do anything. I just sat there and watched it suck my blood...
You just watched? Why didn't you smack it?
Cuz...that would've killed it, right?
Well yeah, but...
It must have been really hungry to suck that much blood. If it was that hungry, it would've been really sad not to let it have anything.
But...it's just a mosquito.
Mosquitos are living things too, though. It might have its own mosquito family... S-Sorry, I know that's dumb...
No, really, you don't have to apologize. But don't go scratching it, okay? That'll just make things worse.
But what if it gets so itchy I can't take it?
Well...in that case, just take the tip of your fingernail and push it into the bump. That'll help.
Wow, I had no idea...!
You're so smart, Makoto!
As she said that, she smiled like a tiny, cute little animal. I wonder if she does that on purpose... If so, that's a whole other level of scary.
But anyway, don't you think it's kinda strange?
Huh? What is?
Well this school is completely sealed off, right? So how'd a mosquito get in? Maybe there's somewhere here in the school where bugs can live and grow. Some kind of...nature-y spot.
A "nature-y" place in the school...? Well, I can't say for sure that there's not.
Or or or! Maybe there's a secret passage somewhere that leads out of the school!
A secret passage...
Well, even if there's not, I'm sure we'll get out of here somehow. As long as we all work together, I'm sure we'll be out of here in no time!
You're right! Working together is super important...
Of course, I dunno how I can be useful. I'll probably just weigh you all down...
That's not true! It makes me feel way better knowing you're here to help!
It does? Really...?
Yup! So let's all do our best, okay?
O-Okay! Eheh... Thank you, Makoto.
Once we were all done, I headed back to my room for a little while...

Spend some time with Chihiro
*Sigh*
What's wrong? That seemed like a pretty heavy sigh...
Oh, sorry... It's just, everyone else is working so hard to get us out of here, but I'm no help at all.
Th-That's not true at all!
It's okay, you don't have to try and make me feel better. I know it's the truth. I'm completely useless without a computer in front of me... At least if I were a little stronger or something, then I'd be able to help somehow...
Listen, you'll get your chance. I'm sure there'll be a time when your skills will come in handy. So you don't have to worry so much, okay?
My skills might...come in handy?
If I get a chance, I'm gonna work super hard to chip in! When it comes to computers, you can count on me!
You're right about that. No matter what anyone might say, you're still the Ultimate Programmer!
Speaking of which, how did you get into programming?
Huh...?
Well, I mean...I always assumed most programmers were guys, so...
... Is it really that weird...?
N-No, nothing like that! I was just curious what got you interested in it.
I mean, why programming of all things?
Why...? I mean, there isn't much of a reason. I've always been kind of weak, ya know. I was never able to run around with my friends or anything... We had a computer at home, so I'd kill time poking around with it. And I found out I really liked it!
My dad was a software engineer, and he had a bunch of programs on there that he'd built. I found one of them and started playing around with it, adding stuff here and there... And that was how I ended up making my very first program.
Interesting... What kind of program was it?
A kind of database software...
Database software...
A user could communicate with it, and it would take that information and find what they were looking for. It was a way of interacting with the computer without having to physically type things out.
She said it could understand the user without them having to type things out... So that would have to be...
Touchscreen
Was it through, like, touchscreen or something?
Well, that did exist back then, but I did something different. I wanted to find a way to interact with a computer without having to use your hands.
Without using your hands? Then...
Telekinesis
Did you use telekinesis? As soon as you think something, the computer reacts, that kind of thing?
Hehe. That sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie. You're so funny, Makoto!
But I think it'll be a while before we figure out how to do something like that... No, I used something different. It wasn't with psychic power, but it *was* a way to convey information without touching the computer.
Convey information to the computer...? In other words...
Voice recognition
You used voice recognition, is that it?
Yup, exactly! You could talk to it, and it could actually talk back. It was a lot of fun! It didn't even really sound like me! I would get totally absorbed in talking to it...
It's like a kid recording themselves and playing it back again...
The key part of the program was getting it to recognize what I was saying. The recognition accuracy was the most important thing. Japanese is kinda hard, so it was pretty challenging.
But you were able to do it eventually?
Yup! And right around then... ...my dad found out I'd messed with his software without permission. I thought I was gonna get in so much trouble...
But all he said was how impressed he was! The software was able to take natural speech and pull out key search terms to retrieve information. My dad said it worked so well, it was gonna change the face of software interaction all over the world!
The development costs are still pretty expensive, so it hasn't spread that much yet, but... Anyway, I've been addicted to programming ever since...
I can't tell you how happy it made me to be able to make others happy...!
It's obvious how much you love computers. You seem to just...light up when you start talking about them.
Ah! Sorry, I spent all this time just talking about myself...
No, I had a lot of fun learning more about you!
Huh? Really...?
Yup! I hope you'll tell me even more next time.
O-Okay! Let's hang out again sometime! It's a promise, okay?
I parted ways with Chihiro, and went back to my room.

Spend some time with Chihiro
Um, if you don't hate the idea... ...would you like to talk some more?
Jeez, if there's anyone who can say no to someone who asks like that, I'd like to meet 'em. Sure, I'd love to learn more about you.
Okay. But...what do you want to know?
Well, let's see... What kind of program are you working on now? I bet it's pretty amazing.
Oh! Actually, I just started the research process for something... You remember that database software I told you about? I'm retooling it into something a little more complex. But I signed an NDA with the company that hired me, so I can't really go into the details...
Yeah, they probably wouldn't want the wrong people to hear about it, huh?
It's not that I don't trust you or anything! I just...made a promise, you know? S-Sorry...
No, it's okay. It's my fault for asking about something you couldn't talk about.
Oh, but... ...maybe I can give you a little hint. It has to do with simulating human thoughts.
She said it has to do with simulating human thoughts, right? Which must mean...
Robotics
Are you doing robotics research?
Hmm... Not exactly. Although the two fields are definitely connected.
Virtual reality
Are you talking about virtual reality?
Nope, not quite! Virtual reality is less about our thoughts and more about our senses. It doesn't have a physical form, of course, but the illusion is real enough to convince most people. We just call virtual reality "VR" for short. What I'm talking about has a short nickname like that, too!
Artificial intelligence
You're developing some kind of artificial intelligence, aren't you?
Ah! You figured it out! Was my hint too easy...?
Ahh, what am I gonna do? If they find out I broke my promise, they might...
Don't worry. I'm not gonna say anything to anyone.
Y-Yeah, I know... I know I can trust you. Okay, I guess I can tell you about it.
I'm working on a type of artificial intelligence the world has never seen before. It's what we call a strong AI. It's designed to think like a human, to process any mental task we can.
A strong AI...?
You see, in the field of artificial intelligence, there's strong AI and weak AI. Weak AI isn't meant to match human intelligence. It's simply a type of problem-solving software. A weak AI isn't actually thinking, it's just executing actions programmed into it. Strong AI, on the other hand, is a program that can achieve true self-consciousness - full ego awareness.
In other words, a strong AI is a complete entity, a computer program capable of becoming aware. But it's always just been a hypothesis. Plenty of experts don't think it's even possible.
It sounds like something from a sci-fi movie... And you're working on something like that?
Well like I said, right now I'm just researching it. I've made lots of progress on the programming side, and the intelligence development...
...but when it comes to actual awareness, it's still a long way off. It might even be impossible...
Really...?
I'm not sure how to put it, but... No matter how well designed or complex a program is... No matter how closely the software can simulate the workings of the human brain... ...I don't think that's enough. If the program is only *simulating* thought, it will always be lacking something.
Lacking...?
Well... I guess you could say...a soul. If you could somehow pour your own soul into the software, maybe then a strong AI could be created.
Wait...a soul?
Yeah, I know. It's not a programming term. I'm not even sure how that would work on a technical level. S-Sorry, forget I mentioned it...
Anyway, all I have right now is the theory. There's still lots of research left to do.
Artificial intelligence sounds like a pretty tough subject. But I'm glad I got to hear about it...
I wasted your time on another boring topic. I must have bored you to death, huh?
No, the complete opposite! It was really interesting!
You mean it...?
Okay! Next time we talk, I wanna hear about you!
Oh, well... Unlike you, I really *am* boring.
No excuses! It's your turn next time!
O-Okay...
Ehehe. Yay!
When she says it like that, I think the only way to refuse... ...is if you're one of those soulless AI programs she mentioned.
Once we were all done, I headed back to my room for a little while...

Hey, Makoto! You remember your promise?
Huh? What promise?
Did you forget already?
You promised that we could talk about you this time! You really did forget...
Chihiro looked really disappointed. With sagging shoulders, she wandered away. That's right, I did promise. She wanted to talk about me this time... I'd better go after her...
I headed to Chihiro's room.
...
Listen, I just wanted to tell you that I didn't forget about my promise..!
Of course I remember! So cheer up, okay?
...Then can we talk about you today?
Sure, I don't mind at all!
Really? Great! Then come in and sit down.
Huh? I can...come in?
Yeah, of course!
I know what she said, but I'm not sure she should be so quick to let down her defenses like this...
Okay, let's go! I wanna hear all about you!
I'm happy to talk, but what do you want to know?
Well, let's start with a question.
Huh?
What do you like to do in your spare time?
Well, you know... I watch TV, play video games, lay around... That's pretty much it.
Huh? What about sports?
Oh, I don't really play anything. The only time I run anywhere is during gym, or when I'm running late in the morning...
Really? And you're still so strong?
Strong? Me? N-No, I'm pretty much on the bottom rung of masculinity!
You're on...the bottom rung? Oh...
...
Chihiro seemed...disappointed, somehow. Hey, what's the matter?
Well, it's just... I'm looking for someone strong.
Yeah, no matter what kind of problems he runs into, I've never seen him get rattled or anything. If you can believe in who you are no matter what happens, that must take a certain kind of strength...
Yeah, that's true... But I don't think Byakuya's the one...
Huh? What do you mean?
O-Oh, it's nothing. Does anyone besides Byakuya come to mind?
Mondo
Then what about Mondo? He's the Ultimate Biker Gang Leader, right? He's gotta be the strongest guy here.
Huh? She went all quiet again... Are you, like...into tough guys or something?
I want to...start training. I'm so weak...
...Huh?
I thought if I could talk to someone strong about it, it might help motivate me.
So that's why, huh? Sorry, I wish I could help somehow...
... Hey, Makoto...? Do you have any kind of, um...inferiority complex?
Inferiority complex...?
You know, some part of you that you can't stand. Something you absolutely hate...
Well, I guess so... For me, it's how forgettably ordinary I am. I've been made painfully aware of this part of me ever since I came here. The rest of you all have your ultimate abilities, but I don't have any kind of talent at all.
And...how do you overcome that kind of feeling?
I'm not sure I can... That's why I decided to just accept it. It's how I feel, and there's nothing I can do about it. And if I find myself thinking about it too much, I just find something else to do with my time. If I throw myself into something hard enough, I can forget about it for a little while.
Throw myself into something...
I see. That's a good idea. If I don't do something, nothing's ever going to change.
Yeah, I think your advice has helped me understand!
Advice? I'm not sure it was anything like that...
Ehehe... Thanks, Makoto!
Well, if it helped, that's good enough for me. Talking to her like this, I feel like I've gotten to know Chihiro really well. I think we understand each other a lot better... I wonder if maybe I've finally become afriendto her in the truest sense of the word.
After talking with Chihiro a little while longer, I decided to head back to my room.
