That's true. What did you need to go in there for, anyway?

[factoring]

I needed more information on EDEN syndrome and Kamishiro Enterprises to start making more headway.

[adorabrawler]

"Eden syndrome"...? Is that a disease?

[factoring]

It's a problem for people who make heavy use of VR. It's said to be caused by brain nerves being overloaded with data.

[adorabrawler]

Then shouldn't people... not use VR that extensively?

[factoring]

You'd think so, but it turns out when a company has that much market share it's hard to get people to stop.

[adorabrawler]

I think people just get addicted to the internet whether they did or not...

[factoring]

You can just log in through a desktop.

[adorabrawler]

Ugh... Well, I guess it was a big enough deal if you were looking into it, huh.

[factoring]

It's been happening for eight years now. Even though the cases are rare, nobody has woken up from their comas.

[adorabrawler]

—Wait, comas?

[factoring]

Yes?

[adorabrawler]

You're saying VR can cause comas?

[factoring]

That's what the company has been saying. I'm sure there's more to it than that.

[adorabrawler]

I'm surprised they wouldn't try covering something like that up instead.

[factoring]

They have a whole ward in a hospital dedicated to dealing with the issue.

[adorabrawler]

Huh... Sounds tough. I wouldn't even know where to begin trying to solve that one.

[factoring]

Before I came here, we were perusing a good lead and a possible cure.

[adorabrawler]

Really? How could you cure it?

[factoring]

It's a long process that involves another dimension.

[adorabrawler]

Uhhh...

Right. Of course you come from a weird world, too.

[factoring]

I really can't do anything about that.

[adorabrawler]

No, it just seems like everyone does...

[factoring]

Is your world not strange?

[adorabrawler]

Only as strange as real life normally is, I guess. But there's no magic, or ghosts, or alternate dimensions, or... people growing so terminally online they fall into a coma over it.
