AWP-3-009 - SECRET BASE

Dashijiru
The head priest just left you there!? And neither mom or dad came by!? Are you serious!?
Dashijiru
Oh! I forgot about him! I wonder if he’s okay.
Protagonist
The world ended. Twice. He’s probably dead.
Dashijiru
Oh..
Dashijiru
Anyway. I have long theorized the existence of alternate sequels with alternate versions of the next generation of characters.
Protagonist
Well, theory proven I guess. Actually that brings up a question. Why is there a similar version of me, a different version of you, and no version of Justica?
Dashijiru
Versions of me you of them me?
Dashijiru
My hypothesis is that certain things were set in stone early in development. Different variations at different times resulted in different casts in various ways.
You
1. [MANAGER] No doubt due to changing market realities.
2. [PROGRAMMER] Ah, iterative design.
3. [VIEWER] But Justica was in the epilogue of the last one, right? She should be everywhere.
4. [DEFAULT] Huh, interesting.
Protagonist
Wait, how do you know about that?
Dashijiru
Hm. Hmm. I’m going to have to think about that one.
Dashijiru
Do I have to think about it?
Protagonist
No.
Dashijiru
We can figure that out later. For now: do you want to see my space rocket?
Protagonist
Is that a euphemism?
Dashijiru
No, I actually made a rocket.
Dashijiru
A eu-euphemism or a me-euphemism?
