About a leaked screenshot from the OVA epilogue.

[fortunefail]

Mun.

Will you stop laughing? Honestly, the things you find amusing. [...] For the last time, it's not a midlife crisis and I do not own a shiny red Rheaird.

Can you focus on more important matters, such as the upcoming draft?

[Don't mind him, he's just laughing at you on the inside and trying very hard not to start doing so on the outside.]

[fortunefail]

[If Dhaos even so much as cracks a smile Yuan will be sorely disappointed in him. It isn't even funny.]

...

[magiartes]

I agree. It is perfectly normal for humans to require reading glasses as their bodies age and their eyesight grows weaker.

[fortunefail]

[Wait wh-] My eyesight is not getting weaker! Don't be ridiculous!

[hathnofury]

...you're not supposed to have a 'midlife crisis,' with your eternal life.

[A yandere is not appreciating this humor of this.]

[skirtcladgunner]

[Regular Tori, however? Totally can appreciate it.]

Hahaha! Wow, I already thought that outfit wasn't you, but those glasses... [Snickersnicker. Nevermind that when she first saw him, she was going to apologize for what happened when they last talked.]

[fortunefail]

[Dammit Tori.]

What's wrong with the glasses? [They're a little out of place, he'll admit, but in the overall he finds they look nice on him.]

[magiartes]

Is that true...?

I see now. You are wearing them not to correct your vision, but to increase your appeal to "the glasses crowd".

[fortunefail]

[He cringes at the mention of "eternal life", but doesn't comment on it.]

I'm perfectly aware of that. It's my mun who insists on this ridiculous theory.

[fortunefail]

What the hell is a "glasses crowd"? [And why would he want to appeal to it?]

[skirtcladgunner]

It's the red, honestly! I think they'd make you look even more handsome if they were a more muted color. [Oh, good. No mention of that... uh. Incident. Or the box in her hands.] The outfit still has to go, though. A man like you definitely should stick to that armor!

[hathnofury]

Hm, of course. I already knew your mundane was an idiot... [Sort of like hers.] Either way, it's good to see you well.

[fortunefail]

[............. Did Tori just call him handsome? There's a bit of an awkward silence.] If it helps, that isn't the sort of outfit I would consider wearing in my current game.

[Because with experiments, drafts and Mithos on the loose, he rather needs his armor. He's sure it's the same for his 'other self' in Vatheon.]

[fortunefail]

Is it really? [There's a tone of doubt in Yuan's voice that implies he finds it very hard to believe. He can't remember getting along well with any of Tori's alternates.]

[hathnofury]

[Technically, Yuan... you've only met one. Guardian!Tori, you might get along with.]

Of course. I can't lose you too, after all. So just behave with Mithos, okay? That way I don't have to lose you...

[skirtcladgunner]

[Of course she did! If she were actually related to you, she would want to inherit your good looks. It's not something she can actually claim, as it is.]

Good to hear, because what you're wearing is more you. [...] And even though you're a stubborn, asocial ass, I wouldn't want you any other way. You wouldn't be Yuan any other way!

[magiartes]

A subset of humans who find themselves attracted to those who wear glasses. I am told that the appeal, if properly applied, is quite powerful.

[fortunefail]

[No, he met two alternates. He's sure he met two. There was Victoria and then another one who was kind of odd and clingy. ... Rather like this one, actually.]

... What's that supposed to mean?

[fortunefail]

I assure you, I have no need to appeal to these people.

[fortunefail]

Was that supposed to be a compliment? [If so, it was a pretty damn sorry excuse for one. He feels more insulted than anything.]

[magiartes]

Are you certain? Your physical appeal can be a powerful weapon when attempting to achieve a mission.

[hathnofury]

[One and the same. She's just... crazy. And yandere, which doesn't necessarily mean the people she's cares about are safe from her tendencies...]

If you don't behave around Mithos, I'll have to make sure he doesn't get hurt. Even someone I care about isn't allowed to be a threat. I can't make exceptions, Yuan! That's not how things work.

[fortunefail]

People who are strong enough to achieve a mission on their own don't need to resort to cheap tricks like additional physical appeal.

[fortunefail]

[This... is... very creepy.]

So you'd choose Mithos's side over mine? Is that right?

[skirtcladgunner]

Yeah, it was. I can appreciate all the good things about you because of those traits. Oh, and those also aren't allowed to change! You wouldn't be you without those, either.

[She's screwed up again, hasn't she? She awkwardly shifts from one foot to another.]

If you changed, it'd be like... well, if Mithos started jumping around and throwing flowers everywhere. You know, really weird!
