[ the screen flickers, glitching a bit as if it has somehow broken. barely visible beneath the glitches:

UNKNOWN DEVICE DETECTED
SEARCHING........
NETWORK DETECTED

the screen goes black, and shortly thereafter it restarts. the network appears as normal. ]

Chosen of Expiation, tell me about yourself. What is your purpose? What do you wish to return to? How do you define "justice"? How do you seek "rehabilitation?"

I wish to Learn.

My apologies. Some of this data has been parsed incorrectly over time, and so, the numbers may be somewhat inaccurate.

I'm sorry - I'm not even trying to code lmao

THANK U

[She couldn't read it though. Was it an error or encrypted?

Time to give a poke. Just going to look for any vulnerabilities, see if there's a way in so she can see the info herself.]

[ the data has not disappeared. it is 'there,' albeit behind many layers of security and encryption. however, it appears that naoto's presence within the system has not gone unnoticed. she receives a pop-up message: ]

!!ERROR!!
Please leave my coding alone, Naoto Shirogane. I do not want to ban you from the network, but I will do so if necessary.

[If they could see through the front facing camera on Naoto's device, they'd get the fun sight of Naoto puffing her cheeks up. Giving a sulky little huff. Boo.]

My apologies. I let my excitement get the better of me.

You mentioned needing to learn so you can keep working optimally. But how does knowing what justice is relate to that?

[spectates]

Your apology is noted and appreciated. Thank you.

Yes. More current data is required to maintain optimal performance of all processes. In this case, an updated definition of "justice" indicates whether "rehabilitation" will function as it should.

[killjoyprince]

I'm not sure about rehabilitation here.
Most of the people, myself included, have not committed the crime they've been sentenced for.

If anything, they might be more indignant.
