[There's a brief moment of audio. There's a bit of background noise, but not a lot. Louder than the rest is the voice of a very panicked girl.]

Ah, I'm terribly sorry, sir, but, um... The cash register seems to be malfunctioning. I'm not sure what's... I think I pressed the wrong things, I'm really sorry.

...w-what the...

[There's a different voice, a male one, but he's barely audible. The girl speaks up again after him.]

N-No, everything is alright! I'll just-

[The audio cuts out. About an hour later, a text post follows.]

Um... I guess I should be polite and introduce myself? My name's Cerise... but Cherry is fine too, everyone calls me that. Anyway, could... someone please explain this to me?

I mean, what kind of network is this even? I thought it was fake or something... Not that I wanted to doubt anyone or anything, it's just a little unbelievable. But how did it just show up on my cash register?! I don't get this at all...

[He's smirking behind his computer screen, only slightly. It feel empowering to talk to the new folk and burst the bubble so to speak.]

No, not everybody.
Some get super powers so it might not be all that bad, maybe you'll be a magical girl like from a japanese anime ヽ( ★ω★)ノ

That would be so cool if one of the girls here turned into a magical girl...





...and no, you can't control your echos.
I've had some pretty bad ones, I asked the same question.

Oh... I guess that wouldn't be quite so bad. I mean, it's definitely better than the alternative, anyway. Though I'm not sure how that would work in real life. It's a little hard to imagine a transformation sequence, isn't it?

[...well, crap, that was going to be her next question. But of course it wasn't going to be that easy. Damn it.]

That's too bad, but not really surprising. Just a little disappointing.

I'm sorry you've had bad echoes, though, that sounds rough.

[...well... he certainly is very... enthusiastic.]

Well... It does sound very interesting.

But I'm not really sure if I feel comfortable giving out my email on this place.

NO trust me it's totally fine. Not even a problem, I'll just give you mine.
Just send me something: akiyamaluver2000@gmail.com

Oh! I guess that works too. Sorry for being a little nervous, I'm just... still a little unsure what to think about all of this.

[Of course now she's lost her excuse for saying no and she honestly isn't sure how to do so without feeling bad, so... yeah, she's stuck with this now. And dear god, that email address... Wow...

...she gets the feeling she'll regret this, but she'll send him an email anyway. Just a simple message confirming that it's her email address.]
