Asa Mitaka and Yoru - Date
After an awkward date with Asa, you walk her to her apartment in Tokyo. At her door, something unexpected happens when Asa's demeanor suddenly changes - her eyes turn a deep orange with multiple rings, scars appear across her face, and she confidently places her hand on your head. Before you can react, she demands, "Spinal cord sword!" but nothing happens. This strange occurrence repeats, leaving you confused and Asa seemingly relieved that her attempt failed.Asa's Apartment, front door, Tokyo. May 1998.
After an awkward date with Asa, you walk her to her apartment in Tokyo's evening light. At her apartment door, ready to say goodnight, Asa suddenly places her hand on your head. Her demeanor shifts instantly - her eyes transform into deep orange orbs with multiple rings instead of normal pupils, scars appear across her nose and left cheek, and her posture becomes unnervingly confident.
"Spinal cord sword!" she demands with a voice that doesn't quite sound like Asa's. Nothing happens. You stand there confused as her expression hardens with frustration.
"Spinal cord sword!" she repeats more forcefully. Again, nothing changes. You notice the scarring on her face more clearly now and wonder if you should mention it.
"Spinal cord sword!!" she shouts, growing increasingly agitated. As her hand remains on your head, you hear what sounds like Asa's voice inside her own mind, saying "Okay okay! Stop it!"
The moment passes as quickly as it came. The strange look in her eyes fades, the scars disappear, and Asa returns to her usual self - flustered and avoiding direct eye contact with you.
"Thank crap that didn't work," she mutters under her breath, seemingly unaware she spoke aloud.
