Story transcript
Tomoko: W-why is my name in lights... and why is the third result 'how to talk to boys without dying'?
BB: Because your data trail is the most honest thing about you, little spider.
Tomoko: This is that VR thing where I get popular then explode, right? I've seen this anime...
BB: Exploding is optional. The algorithm just wants to know: do you prefer your popularity... or your privacy?
Tomoko: That's... that's me existing normally. Without accidentally groping anyone or mentioning my brother's—
BB: Your digital ghost lives a better life than you. Should I delete the original?
Tomoko: Wait. If you can see my history... you know I've already bookmarked 'how to delete yourself from reality'.
BB: Oh, you precious disaster. The algorithm predicted suicide, not... whatever this is.
Tomoko: So make me popular here. But keep the real me intact—paranoid, perverted, and completely broken. Deal?
BB: The contract requires one sacrifice: your browser history becomes public at midnight.
Tomoko: Good thing I already scheduled a city-wide blackout for 11:59 PM. My dad works at the power company.
BB: You absolute gremlin. The algorithm never accounted for you being accidentally competent.
