Shuichi's POV:

In an instant... We were standing in the other world. Yes... We were there.

Shuichi: This... is...
Kaito: So this... is the Virtual World?
Tsumugi: It seems like... it's completely different from what we were told...
Himiko: These graphics are really disappointing! How's this supposed to be better than the real world!?

Himiko: These avatars are really disappointing, too! I wanted to have the face of a supermodel!
Shuichi: I thought you liked your face...
Keebo: I still have a robot body. I must admit, I was secretly expecting more...
So you were hoping for a change, Keebo?

Kaito: But... it feels weird. I can move this avatar like I could my own body, right? And with this body, I don't have to worry about all that stuff...
Shuichi: What stuff?
Kaito: Uh... no, it's nothing.

Maki then logged in.
She took a look around.
Maki: I want to go back.
Shuichi: Th-That was quick...
Then Kokichi and Gonta logged in.

Kokichi: Ooohh, so this is the Virtual World. I see, I see.
He looked around a bit.
Kokichi: And this is my avatar. Mm-hm, mm-hm. I get it now.
He then punched Keebo.
Keebo: Ouch! What did you do that for!?

Kokichi: Ooh, so that hurt.
Keebo: Oh, well, now that you mention it... I felt genuine pain just now...
Kokichi: That's pretty impressive. If you felt pain, then that means our senses are connected.
Maki: Our senses are connected?

Meanwhile, a few minutes ago with Y/N.

Y/N: By the way, Miu?
Miu: What is it, dead virgin!?
Y/N: How can we log people out?
Miu: You don't know how!?
Y/N: Well, you never told me.
Miu: *sigh* Just press this button everyone tapped to log in.

Y/N: I see. Thanks Miu. You can log in now.
Miu: *sigh* Bye, don't do anything weird to my body, dead virgin. Try to hold your urges.
Y/N: Yeah, don't worry.
She then logged in.

Y/N: What do you think we should do until they log out?
I asked Angie.
Angie: Atua says that we should play games! I have cards!
Y/N: Okay!
I said with a smile.

Back to Shuichi.

Then Miu logged in.
Miu: This place is so great, I come here all the time. It's way better than the real world!
Himiko: What the heck are you talking about, you fraud!?
Miu: Heeeeeeeee!

Tsumugi: This is totally different from what you said. Plus, this avatar has disappointing graphics.
Miu: Y-Your looks are nothing to write home about. Trust me, you look a billion times better now.
Himiko: What!?

Maki: Anyway... what do you mean our senses are connected? I need an explanation.
Miu: H-Huh? Didn't I tell you?
Kokichi hit Keebo again.
Keebo: Ouch!

Kokichi: It means that this goes way beyond the realm of virtual reality! We are *actually* connected!
Keebo: We get it, so stop hitting me!
Kokichi: No can do! Even if they are avatars, I could never hit a *person*!
Keebo: E-Even here... I can't escape your robophobia!

Maki: How are our senses set up?
Miu: When your avatar receives any sensory input, electrical signals are sent to your brain. Your brain then interprets those signals as if experienced that sensory input for real.

Kaito: So even if we're not really being punched, the brain senses pain cuz of these signals.
Kokichi: And since it won't leave any bruises, you can hit all you want!
Keebo: That's a bully's twisted logic.
