I do not know if I will actually try to get a bingo. But this seems like a fun way to meet new people.
[speaking of which... she holds out her hand]
My name is Li-Na.

[Li-Na feels an odd frisson at the name. Her hand hovers over the plastic cup, sharpie half-dangling from her fingers. She looks at Myca with a slightly distant expression, as if her thoughts are suddenly far from the coffee shop. She still sees the shop in front of her and the customer whose name somehow seems important, but it's like she has suddenly taken a step back. Myca. They have something to do with the odd dream she's been having recently. She doesn't know how she knows this, but she knows she needs to talk to them.
It only lasts a brief moment, and then Li-Na blinks and smiles again. She quickly finishes writing on the cup and passes it to the barista next to her.]
We will have that right out for you.
[She lowers her voice.]
This may seem strange. May we speak?

[Myca is briefly lost in thought themself, that strange sense tugging at them again: after a moment, they're aware enough again to notice the barista's blank, distant stare. A similar expression to what they were probably wearing, to be perfectly honest. And then the barista blinks and smiles, back to herself again, the moment broken.
One slender eyebrow lifts at the barista's request. It is strange, yes, but everything about this situation with Retrospec is strange and defies logic, not a feeling that they like at all. Especially not with...the ill-fitting vision.] About something we may have in common? [a guess in the dark, really, but 'strange' and private...
Myca retrieves their cell phone off the counter at just the right angle that the button for the app would be visible to the barista.] When you're on break, then. [and going to get their money out to pay for said drink.]

Li-Na immediately zeroes in on a bottle of bright purple polish, which she then holds out to Chiyo.
"Do mine, then I will do yours~"

Chiyo takes the bottle and gives it a shake. She holds out her left hand for Li-Na's.
"Goit it! I'm going to give your nails the best paint job ever! I'm not a manicurist, but I know how to color."
Chiyo's focus when it comes to doing a task is strong. She'll make each coat even and smooth.

[Li-Na puts her hands on her hips]
Do you think I want to die? I do not want anyone to die. What would you have me do? Flee and leave our forces behind?
[Li-Na, unlike Lenalee, is not mentally a soldier. She's a dancer, specifically one with a goal of joining the corps de ballet of a major company. So she understands precise group choreography, which is about as close to troop movements as she gets.]

They are already fleeing.
[Indeed the mood on the battlefield seems to have changed now that the emblems in the distance have gotten closer to one another. Most people seem to be trying to get away. And then, suddenly, they're not on the battlefield anymore. They're in the middle of a huge shrine. There are altars all around, and on each of them, a different sword is displayed, with offerings spread out before them.]
I thank you for your kind words, Master. But I am not meant to be wielded by human heands after all.

Let's do it. Kick any and all of them if they get in the eway. I'll swing my purse at them.

[The robot is not too happy that Baren is cutting off its appendages and makes some very disgruntled noises. But depending on how strong Baren is, as the robot isn't exactly built with battle in mindignore the missiles, they're not in the manga, it does not have the most stable design. With enough effort it could be pulled off balance.
Of course, there are still the lasers to contend with. Yellow lasers it is now targeting Baren with since Baren has started chopping off its appendages.]

Just when I think I am starting to understand what is going on, something like this happens. And I have to rethink how I have been interpreting things.
I guess I would like to skip to the final explanation, too.

It would definitely be simpler for all parties involved if we just got the whole thing instead of just chunks of information.

That is correct. He and my mother were cousins.
I arrived in June, though I did not get the Retrospec app until July.

Really? I've been here since August of last year myself, so I'm surprised Mother never mentioned it. We have lost touch with a number of people on Father's side since he passed, though...
[--oh right, the Retrospec stuff. He nearly forgot about that thanks to this impromptu family reunion??]
So this thing has been around a while, huh? I've heard a few other people say that they've had it for months too, but... it's frustrating to only be hearing about this now.

Sorry. I am not angry at you Ann. I am... we get the colors back. Now something else has been taken away. I made plans with my cousin for Christmas and now those plans are ruined!

I know what you mean!
I was going to go over to my family's house and have Christmas dinner, but...yeah. So much for that...
I guess we just have to find ways around it.
I don't even know if my parents would even notice since they're not on the app...

[OMG XIAOLANG. LI-NA IS SO PROUD. She realizes she's smiling and a little less angry than she was a minute ago.]
I just have a lot of feelings... I was really excited about eating dim sum...

No, I understand, I do too. I was even going to try to put in a reservation tonight at one of the places I found, but now I wonder if that's a good idea.
I mean... we can still eat it, I suppose. The texture and smell will be there. But the egg tarts and the har gow won't be the same...

The one and only.
[He's almost tempted to ask her if she somehow knew another Leon Zhong but he decides to let that go. He knew his last name was fairly common]
I'm amazed that it took me this long to recognize you.
I remember your brother used to talk a lot about you.

You have sixty cookies and eleven friends. How many cookies does each person get if you split them evenly?
[Li-Na carefully drapes the scarf so it falls nicely]
I am not going to leave my nice scarf on it. And they look cute when they are dressed.

What?
[He blinks for a few seconds.]
...How did you come up with that so fast? And when would I ever have sixty cookies? I'd have eaten half of 'em. And I definitely don't have eleven friends I'd let eat my cookies.
So that's thirty cookies and maybe like, five friends, so what's gonna happen is everyone takes one or two at the start and then we keep hangin' and the cookies just disappear and when there's only one left no one wants to take it so I'll just grab it.
Anyway, there's no X.
[another math problem solved courtesy of Professor Logan.]
Yeah, that's a good idea, though, maybe we'll get bonus points.

Do you want to compare notes sometime? I am probably remembering different things than you.

I have not looks at Youtube, but that is a goo idea.
Wait. If we leave, we forget? Then... if I were to go home, I would forget everything that has happened? The chocobos, the monsters in August, the creepy fog in November... all the friends I made?

No, I think the mundane stuff remains. Just everything that has somehow to do with Retrospec and it's effects seems to be gone.
I haven't tried it myself so take it with a grain of salt, though. But that's basically why I haven't left to go see my family even during christmas.

It does not mean we stop trying though. Even if we do not see a way now, we may see one in the future.

I like the way you think, Li-Na. Because that's exactly what I was thinking.
There's no way I'm planning on giving up. Sure enough we'll figure out a way to stand up to the people who are in charge. Their biggest mistake is uniting every single one of us together.

I use an axe, yes!
And something else. It's like magic, but different!
