Feb. 2

Tomorrow is Rumi's birthday. I'll be
meeting her parents... My hands have
been shaking an awful lot lately.

Will they let their daughter marry
a low-level researcher like me?

Now I'm getting even more anxious...
When I told Rumi how nervous
I'm getting, she just laughed and
said I think too much. She may not
have understood my problem, but
I do so love her laugh.

I don't think I'll be able to sleep with
my nerves like this, but I need to lie
down anyway.
I've been getting the worst headaches
lately... I might be pushing myself
too hard for this thesis.

I just really want to be in top form
tomorrow. I know this diary was
originally just for research notes,
but now I hope I can look back at it
with Rumi someday and feel nostalgic.

I just can't believe what's happened.
I'll never see Rumi's parents again...
I don't even know if Rumi will
ever come back to me.

Her heart's been completely
closed off ever since that day.
Why did this happen?
What did Rumi do to deserve this?

Do we really have to just go on
suffering these consequences?

My headaches are getting worse—
I'm even starting to hear things.
Am I having some kind of breakdown?
I can't lose it... I have to do
something to help Rumi.

No matter what it takes.

I still can't figure out what that
voice was in Rumi's room.

Was it my subconscious? Was it...
it feels so strange writing this as a
scientist, but... was it some kind of
godlike being?

I have no way to verify any
of these hypotheses...
it doesn't matter at this point.
All I know is that I've lost
Rumi and gained a strange
ability...

and this ability will be my
key to the cognitive world.

I believe this power
comes with a mission.

My experiments must continue—
for all the people like Rumi.

I must defy and improve this
atrocious world.
I have to face the truth...
I will never see Rumi again.

If I interact with her, I could
trigger her memories and
all her grief would flood back.

You may never hear this promise,
Rumi, but I swear—I will make you
a better reality.

Thank you so much for everything.

My thesis is progressing, bit by bit.

The more research I perform,
the more I recognize the dangers
of cognitive psience.

It's definitely contributed to my suspicions
over my research being shut down.

No matter what, I must complete
my thesis as soon as possible.
My biggest problem is
my lack of research subjects.

If only I could find some hint
about the cognitive world,
about this power I've received...

I'm not giving up, funding or
no funding.

I WILL complete my thesis.
I WILL save everyone.

A very interesting person
came for consultation today.

She lost her older sister in an
accident and is now grief-stricken.

I couldn't just sit there and
watch her suffer through her life.
The whole point of my research
is to save people like her.

My experiments have taught me I can
change any cognition in my presence.
If she can't escape the guilt
and pain in her life, all I have to do
is make her believe she is her sister.

That would be the most direct
and effective treatment option.

That being said, I did
have to alter her cognition
quite a bit for the effect to succeed.

This was my first time altering a
cognition so greatly. I should keep an
eye on her to see how things develop.

I've finally done it...
with greater results than ever expected.

According to my data, reality and
the cognitive world are merging.

It may be unbelievable, but...
I'm the one who did it.

I never anticipated this, but
my theory is being proven with
reality as a whole.
I no longer need to meddle
with the cognitions of individuals.

I can create the ideal reality
where no one ever suffers again.

With this power I've been granted,
I shall lead the world to utopia.
This is the mission granted to me
by the people... by the world.
I'm sure he'll come around
to accepting it soon.

Rumi, I'm so close...
so close to fulfilling my promise.

In fact, I'll promise you again,
here and now: I will create
the perfect world for you.
