For any mundane, non-critical one-on-one interactions with the scientist here, whether it be poking him for whatever reason, maintaining continuity, throwing him an item, or in general doing something that isn't momentous enough to require a whole post or log for it.

If I could control them....?

[Japan isn't sure. He wouldn't really want to control simulations like these. He reaches out with a gloved hand and touches the side of the tower.]

.....I would have to think on this.

[semper_cogitans]

[Robert, in the meantime, would - even if only for researching or modelling purposes, this sort of technology has so many possible applications...]

... At the least, I am... c-certain you could make very accurate simulations with s-similar technology.

[4000excuses]

Yes...but I wonder if it isn't better to simply go to that place rather than try to get an experience via simulation....

[semper_cogitans]

... If it were... possible, I would.

[Robert gently bites his lip as he looks around this section of his own home... it barely feels like it anymore after this long.]

... But... I w-wonder if it is, anymore.

[4000excuses]

[He isn't sure if asking this is right, but Japan has intimate knowledge of this field so..]

....Were you exiled?

[semper_cogitans]

Oh - no, not... e-exactly.

... Just... s-seven months in this place. I... I have never even been kidnapped, m-much less... shown any sign of going home...

... And I... d-do not even want to, n-not without the knowledge I have gained here.

[4000excuses]

Ah...I see.

[So an ex-patriate. He understands.]

I suppose after being here so long...

[semper_cogitans]

...

It... it is not just that. [It's not just that he no longer feels any strong connection to Terra. It's not even just that he'd be arrested as a criminal there now, for daring to want to learn self-defense.]

...

I... I c-could not leave Don... [He'd honestly rather stay in Luceti forever, if it meant being with Don.]

Or my o-other friends here, for that matter...

[4000excuses]

.....Ah...I see.

[Sorry, Robert. Japan would leave this place without a second thought.]

Then I hope you are able to remain here.

[semper_cogitans]

[It's understandable. Robert doesn't begrudge others wanting to go home - or even himself. He just wishes that it wouldn't mean goodbye.]

At the least, open c-communications between the w-worlds here... would be a great asset...
