[ hi ... If Futaba thought she was going to have a grand time in the VR, fucking nah, because she's now stuck in the frozen tundra. She's not alone, however! Twenty minutes in and she'll find a guy. Or, it would be more right to say that this guy finds her, and he's waving repeatedly like it's some sort of aerobic exercise, making his way toward Futaba with much enthusiasm. ]

Hey! Hey, you! Am I glad to see you!! These kinds of training exercises are always more fun with more people, aren't they?! [ He's also already acting like they're friends when they are not? Hm. ] Anyway, let's stick together. There's no way we can't make it!
