You wonder what Kotori's doing all the way out here?
Hey, she's probably seen Nino if she's here! You cheerfully call out to your friend.
- Aria: Kotori!!
- Aria: Hi!!
- Kotori: Oh, hey.
- Aria: I was wondering where you'd be, since you said you wanted to talk to Nino earlier.
- Aria: Seeing as you're out here, you've probably already finished whatever business you had with him...
- Kotori: Mm.
- Kotori: No, I haven't yet.
- Aria: Oh, is that so?
- Aria: I'm going to go see Nino right now for... Something!
- Aria: You could come with, if you'd like to!
- Kotori: Mm.
- Aria: Yeah!! Um, are you feeling alright, anyway?
- Aria: You seem a bit out of it...
- Kotori: I'm fine.
- Aria: ...If you say so!
- Aria: I know how stressful your work is, though, so...
- Aria: I prepared some muffins earlier, and kept a piece for you!
- Aria: I can get you the muffins I made after we go get Nino, if you'd like me to!
- Aria: I can't imagine how tired you'd be after your work, so feel free to stop by to relax over a warm cup of tea and muffins!
- Aria: Still!! I'm really curious, what is your business with Nino all about?
- Aria: I know I probably shouldn't prod if it's something private...
- Aria: But I'm so curious!! I really want to know!
- Aria: Regardless, Nino's a really nice person, I'm sure you'll enjoy any talk with him.
- Aria: Ehehe, I shouldn't tell you this, but you should've seen how terrified he was when I told him you asked to meet him!
- Aria: Even though there's nothing to be afraid of!
- Kotori: Aria.
- Aria: Ah, what is it?
- Kotori: Aria.
- Kotori: That's enough.
- Aria: O-oh--
- Aria: I'm sorry, was I talking too much again...
- Aria: I'm just excited to see yo--
- Kotori: Aria.
- Kotori: Listen.
- Kotori: I have something important to say.
- Kotori: I don't know what's right or wrong anymore.
- Kotori: It's too late for those thoughts, by now.
- Aria: K-Kotori...?
- Aria: What are you...
- Kotori: But there's only one thing I'm certain of right now.
- Kotori: I've been doing the same thing for too long.
- Kotori: I need to break out.
- Kotori: All I can do right now is trust my gut.
- Kotori: And fulfill my purpose.
- Kotori: To protect this world, no matter what it takes.
- Kotori: That's why.
- Kotori: I'm going to end all of it right now.
- Kotori: That's why, Aria, I wanted to say...
- Kotori: I'm sorry.
Well, seeing as this webcomic is reminescent of Undertale...

In a lot of ways, what with the whole human-monster barrier thing.
