Protag reminda me of Shino from Kin'iro.
Hair, odd obsessions, etc.

She's like Shino if Shino were even more open about her obsessions. And if Alice was more deadpan and straight-laced.

On another note that game sounds awesome.

Amen to that. A game where you play the zombie (that isn't Left 4 Dead 2's multiplayer, because that's a bit different). Someone should get on that.

So did anyone else just constantly hear the Inception noise in this chapter?

I'm actually a bit confused about the rules they're playing with in the dodgeball chapter. When I played dodgeball as a child, it was always a rule that if you caught someone's throw, THEY were out (so like, when Aoba's ball gets caught, she's out, not just her opponent having possession of the ball). I also never heard of getting people back into the game after they were out. Anyone familiar with the variant they're playing here?

Or plot twist : Yuzumori is way older than she looks and is teasing Mimika since the beginning.

Yes. This.

Come the fuck on
Not only do you kiss in front of the jellyfishes, but you also hold hands?
Have some maritime decency for Christ's sake

How silly. Jellyfish don't have eyes. Or ears. They don't even know what's going on.

In all seriousness.... Hiro need the ability to quickly 3D map out a body part (Chikako's) that she can't see, if they later want to move their relationship to... eh... another level.

Afterall, there're many parts of a woman body that you only can experience through touching (without grossing the other party out)... So yeah a small step for Hiro. But a huge leap for yuri robot designs

I just want a happy end for these two but I know it won't happen ;_; considering the reality of it all, Hiro may just end up being the only one alive with all these memories of Chikako, all alone, constantly replaying every moment she has recorded on Chika.

Two other endings that could happen
1/ this episode showed that Hiro has the ability to shut down her body function for Chikako. Means ... yeah she can "die" too
2/ the AI development could be advanced enough for Chika to create an android copy of herself based on all of the data Hiro collected (and being studied over several decades by these robotphile scientists). Maybe there will be some sign that her soul really pass on to that new body, means they will forever be with each other

Well, okay, there's also another way to look at an ending. People recover from losing loved ones all the time; it always takes time and support, but at the very least Hiro/Praha has all of the former she could ever want. So, it's not inconceivable for her to be able to move past, if not forget, Chika. Is it the most "romantic" resolution? No, but it doesn't mean this all ends with Hiro inevitably being broken, Hiro uh...breaking down, or in Transhumanism.

Cute.

But what.

This disorder sounds legitimately horrifying (and not because of the end result).

Like, the way she described what it was like to have it actually happen sounds really, really disgusting. Like, large sections of your flesh just slough off? Ew.
