For a moment, Nanako was simply about to wonder why Melt was hesitating(perhaps it was just because she'd never used a phone before? Or possibly because she hadn't fixed her sleeves so her hands were still covered up?).

Then, her phone proceeded to go completely insane. Playing a theme that she'd never heard before, it was abruptly taken over by some kind of hacker!? No! Her parents had gotten her this phone for her last birthday, it was one of the best ones they could possibly have bought! Worse still, her... data...

Nanako stared blankly. There was a very pretty purple-haired girl on her phone now. Talking to her. In a video. Perhaps this shouldn't have seemed so shocking and bizarre when someone was living in a city full of heroes of the past who had been revived via magic, but the truth was that she was completely speechless. Suddenly a great deal of strange subjects were discussed. Somehow she was this girl's senpai? But she was also an AI? The year 2030? It was practically making the brunette's head spin.

But there was something that caught her attention.

Meltryllis... couldn't use her hands? She had no legs below her knees, and she couldn't use her hands... That was horrible. No wonder she covered her hands. The fact that she couldn't use the elevator on her own suddenly made perfect sense. And that she hesitated before attempting to use the phone...

It was impossible not to feel pity. Meltryllis was effectively a quadruple amputee, unable to use her hands and missing her legs below her knee. The fact that BB had brought something like that up... it clearly had hit the Alter Ego quite deeply as well. She almost tried to speak up about it, almost, until-

"What? My... you're..."

She trailed off. There had been so much hitting her all at once, but the sudden implication of blackmail caught her completely off-guard. If she didn't respond, she'd have her internet history revealed?

"I... wha... what?"

It was a lot to take in all at once.
