[ Her voice is smaller now as she takes a seat right in front of her. Nanami knows that it's going to be difficult, talking about such a heavy subject, but Chiaki has to know. She has to tell her the truth. She can't run away from this anymore.
Even if her heart is twisting to the point where she feels like it could shatter into pieces, she finds the courage to continue.
That's right, she has to face the future. This is one step forward towards the future that she wished for all along. Her promise with Hinata-kun. ]
I guess I should start explaining who I am first, probably. [ Lips tug into a smile, but it's a bitter one that doesn't reach her eyes in the slightest bit. ] You were told that Komaeda-kun died in the Neo World Program, right? He... was planning on outing the traitor back then. But I couldn't do anything. I couldn't say anything.
[ Nanami chews on her lower lip, a little nervous. Anxious, even. She needs to choose her words carefully, because she isn't sure of how Chiaki will take them. Will take who she is. Would she be rejected? Hated? After all, the program stole their memories. And even more than that, she stole Chiaki's identity. She stole her friends. ]
Even if you want to fly, you can't, right? Even if you went to swim where you please, you can't, right? For me... it's the same. I couldn't say that I was the traitor, 'cause of the nature of my existence. [ Can she even say it? Is she even allowed to say it? ] You see, unlike Hinata-kun and the rest from our world... I'm not like you guys.
I'm an AI, after all.
[ Once she realizes that she's spoken that exact sentence, Nanami finds herself gasping in surprise before laughing at herself a little bit, pleased by the freedom. ]
no subject

Haha, I managed to say it.
