Someone, please tell me that I somehow fell into a coma for four days, and that I only dreamed that I was a schizophrenic, love-obsessed phantom thief.

Oh god... I'm going to lock myself in my room and die of shame.

...lying isn't going to make me feel better, you know?

[truthinfortune]

I made a complete and utter ass of myself. In front of all my friends. How can I ever face them, after what I did?

[timey_wimey]

Oh, come on, locking yourself in your room isn't going to help anything!

[truthinfortune]

How can I bear to face my friends after what I did to them? I'm so ashamed of myself...

[timey_wimey]

Well, if they're really your friends then they'll understand that you're sorry, won't they?

[truthinfortune]

I-I suppose, but... I'm worried about the effect this is going to have on my career, as well. If people think that I'm a really a phantom thief pretending to be a detective, my reputation will be ruined!

[stripping]

It's a virus. You aren't responsible for the manner in which you acted.

[truthinfortune]

B-but I... I stole my friends' most precious things! A-and I kissed them! How am I supposed to face them now?

Not only that, I've probably ruined a perfect opportunity for my career, as well...

[stripping]

The community members will forgive you because it was beyond your control. This happens all the time, and they've forgiven worse actions undertaken while actually oneself. You'll be fine.

[truthinfortune]

My friends might, but what about Dojima-san and the police department? If word gets around that I was only pretending to be a detective, then my reputation will be ruined!

She's probably too worked up to notice he's teasing a bit (also, off to work!)

[television_seta]

It's good to see you're back to normal, Shirogane-san. I do feel a little left out, though.

Oh, she notices, all right...

[truthinfortune]

S-seta-san! P-please, don't say such things! I-It's not like I wanted to do all those things! Well, not me per se... there was a part of me that...

Oh God, I'm so ashamed...

It was the virus, so there's no reason to be embarrassed. Of course, I've never been in one this big It might help to know you're probably not the only one who did things they would never do normally. And those of us who know you wouldn't hold it against you, Shirogane-san.

[truthinfortune]

I-I know I'm not the only one, but still...

I spoke to Dojima-san, while I was... under the effects of this virus. I don't think... he's going to let me on the case at this rate.

[bluespring]

Was this your first virus, Shirogane-san?

[truthinfortune]

W-well, the first one that affected me so... intimately.

Technically, the first virus I've encountered was that strange video that supposedly showed a glimpse of your future...

[bluespring]

...yes. Well, things like this happen sometimes.

[truthinfortune]

Kuroba-san seemed to think that these things "happen all the time."

I can't believe this... I'm a detective! If word gets out that I've been stealing things, my reputation will go down the drain! My career will be ruined.
