[00:03] Mom
    Berry, it's morning. Time to get up.
[00:09] Mom
    Berry?! What are you doing out there?
[00:16] Berry
    There was this weird kid...
    Phantom Zero...
[00:20] Mom
    A weird phantom?
[00:22] Mom
    Did you fall asleep while logged in again?
[00:26] Berry
    Logged in? Oh, yeah...
     I was in the Hyperverse...
[00:30] Mom
    It's almost time for school. Come on,
    it's time to get up and get ready.
[00:34] Mom
    And make sure you actually
    go to the doctor's today.
[00:37] Berry
    'Kay.
[00:39] Berry
    Huh? Was it... all a dream?
[00:44] Berry
    Nope!

[02:42] Hack
    Where oh where is the outty-boutty?
[02:44] Berry
    What ya lookin' for?
[02:46] Hack
    The sorti-exit!
[02:48] Berry
    An exit?
[02:49] Hack
    But glitchy-witchy's setups are too
    high-spec, so the exit's a missing thingy!
[02:53] Berry
    Just what I'd expect from a
     high-def custom Hyperverse space.
[02:57] Berry
    So Love-y!
[03:01] Hack
    No backdoor?!
[03:04] Berry
    Guess we need time to find
    the legit exit, or we're stuck.
[03:08] Hack
    Let's just bail already!
[03:10] Berry
    Yeah!
[03:32] Berry
    Wow!
[03:33] Hack
    Rargh!
[03:44] Hack
    Tick-tocky?!
[03:45] Berry
    What is this?!
[03:57] Berry
    What's going on?! It's kinda fun!
[03:59] Berry
    Hey, wait up!
[04:08] Hack
    Quit tryna gobble us up already!
[04:10] Berry
    Zappo!
[04:26] Berry
    Ka-ching!
[04:28] Berry
    Got me some data on glitchy-witchy!
[04:37] Berry
    Okay, so what do we do next?!
[04:39] Hack
    Gotta scope the shell outta the town!
[04:47] Berry
    Wow.
[04:49] Berry
    What is it?
[04:55] Berry
    A program that spreads like slime mold?
     I've never seen anything like it.
[04:59] Hack
    Gimme the big search.
[05:01] Hack
    Get all sticky-wicky with the network.
[05:07] Hack
    Bingo!
[05:11] Berry
    Love-y!
[05:12] Hack
    Time to bail!
[05:13] BerrY
    Ah, wait up!
[05:22] Berry
    Is this the finish line?
[05:26] Hack
    Ker-clunk.
[05:35] Berry
    Guess there's one last bit to go!
[05:38] Berry
    Huh?
[05:42] Berry
    Hey...
[05:49] Hack
    Alley-oop!
[05:52] Hack
    Hey, nerdy-birdy! Gimme five!
[05:56] Hack
    Take it!
[05:59] Berry
    Hey!
[06:01] Hack
    Let's bail on outta here.
[06:13] Hack
    Whoa, there.
[06:16] Hack
    Bailing!
[06:17] Hack
    And away we go!
[06:42] Trooper B
    There are signs of
    Demo-camouflage at the scene.
[06:44] Captain
    Copy that. I want everyone
    using camo-compensator mode.
[06:59] Trooper A
    We're the Customer Center's
    Special Eval Committee Task Force.
[07:02] Hack
    You guys come to stare at me too, huh?
[07:04] Trooper B
    You're wanted on suspicion
    of illegal Love fabrication
[07:07] Trooper B
    and unauthorized
    Love score modification.
[07:10] Trooper A
    Don't move. We're going to restrain you.
[07:12] Trooper A
    Fire!
[07:16] Hack
    Quit yellin'!
[07:23] Trooper A
    Dammit.
[07:24] Troopers
    There's no citizen registry data.
[07:26] Trooper A
    A "Yurei"? Watch yourselves.
[07:34] Trooper A
    Digital smoke!
[07:35] Hack
    Blammo!
[07:42] Trooper B
    That fried my Deco.
[07:49] Trooper A
    Suspicious Yurei spotted at the scene
    of a Zero Phenomenon in District 16.
[07:53] Trooper A
    Requesting a perimeter based
    on the findings of our search.
[07:56] Trooper A
    Code 410!
[08:02] Council Chairman
    We'll dispatch a cleanup crew to the scene.
[08:05] Council Chairman
    What happened to those Yurei
    tags the search team mentioned?
[08:08] Councilman A
    Well, Mr. Chairman,
[08:10] Councilman A
    we've found what we believe to be a
    safehouse hidden behind a Deco facade.
[08:27] Search Trooper
    SEC Task Force!
[08:29] Trooper C
    No sudden moves! Come quietly!
[08:38] Trooper C
    It's a recorded decoy.
[08:39] Trooper D
    We were too late.
[08:42] Trooper C
    Damn Yurei.
[08:47] Trooper C
    Huh? Are you getting static?
[08:47] Hack
    Sneaky sneaky sneak...
[08:49] Trooper D
    What's wrong?
[08:50] Trooper C
    My Deco's being tampered with!
[08:52] Trooper D
    Is that Yurei still around here somewhere?
[08:55] Trooper D
    There you are!
[08:57] Trooper C
    Don't give us trouble!
[08:57] Hack
    Nein, nein.
[09:01] Trooper D
    Wh-What the...
[09:03] Trooper C
    Our Decos have been hijacked!
[09:06] Hack
    And a-bailing we will go!
[09:08] Hack
    Hup!
[09:13] Hack
    Switch the Deco camo back on and...
[09:21] Hack
    Tera!
[09:42] Girl A
    Hey, you hungry?
[09:43] Guy B
    Sure. Wanna go get something fancy?
[09:45] Girl A
    Good idea! We can splurge our Love—
[09:48] Girl A
    What was that? Crazy.
[09:50] Guy B
    Made me jump.
[10:10] Professor
    With that being the case...
[10:12] Harper
    Say what? The Zero Phenomenon?
[10:14] Logi
    What are you talking about?
[10:16] Berry
    Like I said, it happened in
    my neighborhood last night.
[10:20] Harper
    You live in District 16, right?
[10:23] Harper
    Can't be. There'd be records of alerts
    and stuff if something had happened.
[10:28] Harper
    You've been actin' weird lately.
[10:29] Logi
    Yeah. The office yesterday
    being a prime example.
[10:32] Berry
    Does this mean that weirdo wasn't
    a new character from the game?
[10:37] Harper
    What weirdo?
[10:40] Logi
    Wait, the game got a new character?
     I didn't hear about that.
[10:43] Harper
    Besides, Berry, you weren't
     even logged in yesterday.
[10:48] Berry
    Huh? You're right.
[10:49] Berry
    Then, what was that...
[10:51] Logi
    Your Deco's acting up, right?
[10:53] Harper
    Yeah, it's gotta be that.
[10:55] Logi
    You did say that was how you were
    able to see this "weirdo" of yours.
[10:58] Berry
    Even so...
[10:59] Logi
    You imagined the whole thing.
[11:04] Berry
    I'll just have to investigate.
[11:06] Harper
    Then, let's play the game!
[11:07] Berry
    Yeah!
[11:07] Logi
    I'm in! I wonder if the
    new story content's out.
[11:13] Professor
    You three! Are you muted again?
[11:16] Professor
    This is your doing, isn't it, Berry?
[11:19] Berry
    Yeah! Sorry! Bye!
[11:21] Professor
    Hey! Get back here!
[11:25] Berry
    It doesn't make sense.
[11:26] Berry
    Maybe it's 'cause I fell
    asleep in the Hyperverse.
[11:32] Berry
    And this thing...
[11:34] Berry
    I have no clue what it is.
[11:52] 0-N Zero
    Now, let us begin.
[11:55] 0-N Zero
    My puzzle is a mystifying one...
[11:57] 0-N Zero
    But there is no puzzle
    that cannot be solved.
[12:01] 0-N Zero
    You needn't worry on that score.
[12:04] 0-N Zero
    However, it's a question of speed.
[12:07] 0-N Zero
    Who came up with these
    impossible means, and how?
[12:11] 0-N Zero
    And what did they do to pull it off?
    These are the questions you must answer.
[12:16] 0-N Zero
    Yes, you must up your speed of
    thought until you surpass all others.
[12:21] 0-N Zero
    Phantom Zero is a magician from a fairy tale,
     capable of doing things no one else can.
[12:30] Logi
    Awesome! Phantom Zero rules!
[12:33] Harper
    That was totally wizard!
[12:35] Berry
    Yeah...
[12:36] Logi
    C'mon, Berry. It's the hotly
    awaited new story stuff!
[12:38] Harper
    It's Love-y, right?
[12:39] Berry
    Yeah.
[12:40] Logi
    You really are acting weird.
[12:42] Berry
    Sorry, I'm gonna log off for today.
[12:45] Harper/Logi
    Berry?!
[12:47] Berry
    A magician, huh?
[12:49] Berry
    Normally, that'd be the kind of Love-y
    new twist that'd get me really excited...
[12:54] Notification
    It is almost time for your
    ophthalmologist appointment.
[12:55] Berry
    Ah, I'd better go.
[12:59] Berry
    Oh, right. I should probably wear this.
[13:14] Berry
    Maybe it really was part of the game.
[13:17] Berry
    Looking back, it all started with
    that Phantom Zero ad I saw.
[13:22] Berry
    And that weirdo...
[13:27] Berry
    I think it was around here.
[13:30] Berry
    Maybe the ad I saw tagged me for access?
[13:40] Berry
    If it was some kind of secret test,
    that's kinda impressive.
[13:43] Berry
    Maybe I was chosen at
    random for a beta test?
[13:47] Berry
    Would that be Love-y?
[13:50] Berry
    Crap, I'm late!

[18:17] Berry
    I need to grab some evidence.
[18:21] Dad
    Berry! What do you think you're doing?!
[18:27] Mom
    Berry, what were you trying to do?
[18:30] Berry
    Well... you weren't here,
    so I went looking...
[18:33] Dad
    In our office, without permission?
[18:35] Mom
    Come on. What were you actually doing?
[18:38] Berry
    What were they actually doing, Mom and Dad?
[18:42] Dad
    You don't need to know that.
[18:44] Berry
    But everybody was deleting a bunch of data!
[18:48] Dad
    That's our job. We're content moderators.
[18:52] Berry
    Your job?
[18:54] Mom
    That's right. We make it so people don't
    have to see things that'd make them worry.
[18:58] Mom
    It's a very important job.
[18:59] Berry
    But what happens if people
    can't tell what's real anymore?
[19:03] Mom
    Listen. If it is something important,
    deleting it won't make it go away. Right?
[19:09] Berry
    But isn't that just lying?!
[19:11] Dad
    Berry!
[19:12] Mom
    Honey...
[19:21] Dad
    Berry.
[19:22] Dad
    For now, you're grounded, and you can
    only log onto the Hyperverse for school.
[19:28] Berry
    Fine!
[19:30] Mom
    Berry, wait a minute!
[19:31] Dad
    Let her go.
[19:33] Mom
    But honey... This is too complex for her.
[19:39] Berry
    Lies. It all really happened.
[19:51] Berry
    Mom and Dad are just liars, and all that
    was nonsense. I don't care anymore.
[19:56] Berry
    That weirdo's really out there.
[19:58] Berry
    And this time, I'm gonna track you down.
[20:02] Berry
    This thing has to hold some kinda clue...
[20:09] Berry
    Wow!
[20:12] Berry
    What's this?
[20:23] Berry
    Found you!
[20:29] Berry
    Okay.

    Let's do this!
[20:44] Berry
    This is totally different from the daytime.
    All these bright lights are pretty hype!
[20:50] Berry
    Whoa, wait a second...
[20:52] Berry
    I'm actually running away from home.
[20:54] Berry
    That's Love-y!
