[ There is not, but he was very excited about them. He was still the same person though, a soul in a metallic body, and one who she had loved dearly.

Even so, if given the choice, Nanami would have chosen a body closer to the one that Midori himself has, rather than the body he was given or the upgrades that might have been made with him if were treated as their example was. He won't see it, but there's a brief smile as he continues it, one that disappears when he asks his question. ]


Mmn... It doesn't look like it.

[ But that's a good thing, isn't it? It means that he's still alive and well. He's still with everyone. ]

Ah, I have a couple other friends here though.

Komaeda-kun. He the Ultimate Lucky Student, and Hinata-kun. He's an Ultimate too, but he doesn't remember his talent.

[ None of this will mean anything to a person who's not from their world, but it might at least be easy enough to gather than it's a title of sorts.

She stops short of offering anything on that point, as past their presence it gets a bit messy. Both are older than her now, and both have changed because of that. Even so Hinata is Hinata and Komaeda is Komaeda, and both are her precious people, and so the details aren't important. ]

[ What makes an Ultimate an Ultimate? In truth, it's an arbitrary title given to those who were determined to be worthwhile by a government-run school that no longer even exists. Nanami herself doesn't need to differentiate between the majority and the minority. It could be because her human counterpart never did, or perhaps it's simply because she was never exposed to that toxic culture. ]

It's a person who's the very best at what they do... Like the Ultimate Team Manager, or the Ultimate Gymnast...

[ The second question takes longer for her to answer. It's as much out of consideration for how to answer it tactfully as it is her inability to answer to truly answer it. Due to her coding, there's only so much that she can offer on the subject.

He'd forgotten it by time we met.

[ That's right, there are places where Ultimates don't exist. That seems to be the norm, really, as she hasn't heard of any similar systems. But it's difficult to explain such a normalized concept to another person. It's like trying to explain what breathing is like, or why one stops at a red light.

She wouldn't say they're bad at everything else, but... It wouldn't be wrong to say that their talent is all that they have either. ]


You can be good at other things. But you're not really focused on anything else, 'cause it's all about developing and strengthening your talent.

[ Which is to say, there's little-no opportunity to truly excel at anything else. One can't learn to play piano if they're expected to spend their time focused on gaming.

Hmm.... ]


What do you do for a living, um...?

[ She didn't catch his name either. ]
