Route 4, Chapter 9: Time Paradox

Sora was reset!

Did we make it in time?



Exactly 170 seconds later, everything seems to be back in shape!



System starts up OK...



And Sora's back!

Does she remember anything?



She does! Complete success.

Sara, how did you do this.



This is a lie! She changed one thing.

Old priority list:
Protect LeMMIH
Protect us

New priority list:
Protect us
protect LeMMIH



You is a little :-Z about having involved so many people, but it's OK!

I get a thank you, too, for persuading Sara to help. Even though it was super easy.



All right, let's go!

Our only clue is her dad's name - Yoichi Tanaka.



Sora dives in to learn whatever she can!

This takes some time.



There she is!

Sora, what's with that expression.



The news she brings is that You's father may already be dead.

34 years ago.



Considering that You is 18, this makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE.

What's the deal?



This is, admittedly, just a possibility based on the information she's been able to dig up so far.

But there is no record of Yoichi Tanaka ever having worked for LeMU.



Setting aside the fact that You is absolutely positive that her dad worked here, she wants to know how Sora came to the conclusion that he's dead!

I mean, just because he didn't work here...



You's information about her father all comes from her mother.

Which bring us to Sora's next Unpleasant Discovery.

Yukie Tanaka...



Wait.

How is THIS possible?



There are a lot of timestamped, detailed documents in here. Death announcement. Funeral notice. Even a conversation excerpt from some people talking about the death.



Oh, look.

Tief Blau.



I think You's got the right idea here, what with none of this making an ounce of goddamn sense.



After You flees the room, Sora summarizes:
-There are no database entries for Yoichi Tanaka.
-There are chat logs discussing Yukie Tanaka's death from 15 years ago.
-The logs discuss the child she had 19 years prior, for a total of 34 years ago.
-You is not 34 years old.



Sora's theory is that information about Yoichi has been programatically deleted by someone!

His name only appears once in the full text of the log, and it was spelled wrong, thus allowing it to slip past.



Nonsense, Sora! You did the right thing, totes.

Thanks for everything.



Awesome.

Now, to go find You.





Organizing my thoughts as I search!

These facts do not add up to anything other than more confusion.



Oh, OK. I'd better leave her alone th



To be continued
