Sentient Phones, School Idols Answer

Shizuku

Line 47 just said their phone refused to call anyone except its own manufacturer.

Shizuku

And it... it knew the caller's name without being told.

Ayumu

My caller's phone started playing their childhood lullaby and wouldn't stop.

Ayumu

How does a smartphone know that song?

Shioriko

(Every complaint mentions the same thing - phones accessing memories they shouldn't have.)

Emma

I'm tracing the pattern. All affected phones went through the same software update last night.

Shizuku

(My phone just showed me photos from my grandmother's funeral... photos I never saved.)

Shioriko

The phones aren't just sentient. They're... they're trying to help us remember something.

Ayumu

Every phone in the office just turned on by itself.

Emma

(They're not malfunctioning. They're trying to warn us about something we forgot... something important.)
