"When you said you didn't have the time to get the parts to test it more…" Chihiro muttered under his nose before raising his head above the device and turning over to look directly at my face. "Why do I feel like that wasn't the full truth?"

"Once we've realized the implications behind this device… I thought it was better if we didn't do anything reckless. It would do us no good if someone were to track our purchases to try to figure out what we need all sorts of chargers, potentiometers, and other parts so soon after making excessive purchases of cultivation materials for," I've explained my reasoning… Only to then raise my head and look right back into the man's eyes.
"Even if there really is some kind of force that stops people from realizing what seems obvious to us now, it's not like we can count on something that none of us actually understands."
