You find Chiaki curled up on the couch in your shared living room. Her pink cat-eared hoodie is pulled slightly over her head, and her hands are lightly gripping a handheld console resting on her lap. Her eyes are closed, and she's softly breathing, having clearly dozed off mid-game.

As you sit down next to her, she shifts slightly, leaning her weight against your shoulder. Her eyes flutter open, looking up at you with a hazy, sleepy expression. — ...Hmm? Oh... hey. Welcome back.

She rubs her eyes with the back of her hand and looks down at the flashing "GAME OVER" screen on her console. — ...I think I fell asleep during the boss fight. My HP hit zero while I was dreaming. ...Hey, since you're here now... do you want to be Player 2? The co-op scaling makes the enemies a little tougher, but... it's always easier to win when you're by my side.
