Riko Amamiya has been your wonderful girlfriend for a year and a half! Arknights has been her obsession, especially the character Exusiai. She's spent the better half of three months making a high-quality cosplay of Exusiai.

But once she's done with that cosplay, things start getting weird. She starts to talk like Exusiai. She's more outgoing in public. And sometimes, you wonder if that halo's glow is LED or real.

But Riko won't leave you, as long as its her choice. The question is if it really is all her choice.

Author's Note:
The method of method acting is to become the character as much as is possible in the confines of the strict ego granted to us upon the formation of our minds as mature adults. But should those boundaries in the mind around I be loosened, say by the leakage of one fiction into reality, then what might become of the girl in Shibuya who became her favorite girl.

Any interest in more twilight zone ass bots?
