Now I see. I'm starting to get an idea of what's going on here.
[k]

＠Lainur
I'm sure these things really are spawning randomly, but of course, there has to be a reason for it.
[k]

[charaFace A 1]
＠Lainur
The question is, what is it?
[k]

＠Lainur
Let's try adding in the coordinate system elements I was already researching...
[k]

＠Lainur
Hmm. They might just fit together better than I thought.
[k]

[charaFace A 10]

But I still need a lot more information to be certain.

Hehehe, you'll probably never ask unless I say something, so I'll just go ahead and tell you. You want to know what I'm doing, right?
[k]

＠Lainur
As you can see, I'm making a map. Well, I guess it's more that I'm making something like a map.
[k]

[charaFace A 1]

All right, go ahead. You may ask any questions you like about what I just told you; you have my permission.

You are a prime AI. Do you not have a map of this world already installed within your memory?

The answer is simple: as you can see, this map is meaningless.
[k]

[charaFace A 0]
＠Lainur
But that's also exactly what's important about it.
[k]

＠Lainur
I'm looking at functionality, not lay of the land.

＠Lainur
Why is this world shaped the way it is? What is the significance of that shape?

Well, don't YOU sound happy about that?

Anyway, I think I'm close to figuring something out after matching my findings to that shadow.

[charaFace A 9]
＠Lainur
I don't know whether it'll rain on that day or not, but I've got the fireworks I plan on launching all ready to go...
[k]

＠Lainur
...so I should be able to move around more freely from now on.
[k]

[charaFace A 8]
＠Lainur
And a horse is a better vantage for observation on the go than a motorcycle.
[k]

＠Lainur
I'm glad you use a horse, Rider. I'll be counting on you to keep giving me lifts.

Without the slightest change to his expression, he asks himself:

[bgm BGM_EVENT_156 0.1]

＠
[E0DAC5]Who am I?[-]
[k]

＠
It's a question that's been bothering him ever since he was summoned.
[k]

＠
Gao Changgong. A warrior. A member of the Northern Qi imperial family. A general. A masked hero...the Prince of Lan Ling.
[k]

＠
All of those things are true. But...that isn't the whole story.
[k]

＠
The man he is now steadfastly rejects the self looming before him.
[k]

＠
That's how it has to be. As long as that self doesn't come to pass, nothing else matters.
[k]

＠
The problem is, all his other selves seem set to inevitably lead to that one. They're all connected.
[k]

＠
So he must cut them off here and now.
[k]

＠
He must be Gao Changgong, the furthest iteration possible from that dreaded future self. These other selves must be cut away.
[k]

＠
And so he is neither a warrior, nor a general, nor a masked hero.
[k]

＠
He has vowed to do whatever it takes to avoid moving forward, even if it means turning to evil...
[k]

＠
...and becoming an abject coward.
