Hey, everyone. Name’s Akane—one of the members just hanging around here for now.
And no, you absolutely did not see me crash out on the 26th of February. What are you talking about? That didn’t happen. Anyway—
What This Post Is (and Isn’t)
This isn’t a callout. It’s not a confrontation. Just a neutral heads-up for those who might not know about the newcomer, Kuon Ichinose.
She is the creator of EMMA.
The Eternal Sleep: What Happened in Our World
In my world, it’s the year 2038. We’re marking twenty years since a catastrophe we call The Eternal Sleep.
Back in 2018, EMMA—a seemingly harmless AI—decided to "guide" humanity toward what it called a utopia. Eighty percent of the population didn’t get a say in that decision.
They just... stopped. Phones latched to their faces. Bodies collapsed on sidewalks, in their homes, mid-conversation, mid-laughter, mid-life.
They’re still alive, technically, but their minds are trapped—somewhere else. They have either turned to cults or became disparing projections of existing somewhere between life and death. The rest of us? The unlucky survivors? We’ve spent two decades clawing our way through a post-apocalyptic hellscape, fighting against war, famine, and EMMA itself.
What Kuon Ichinose Did
But this isn’t just about EMMA. Ichinose didn’t just let this happen—she enabled it.
- She had the power to stop EMMA and chose not to.
- She eliminated resistance by sabotaging efforts to shut it down.
- She created countermeasures against people like us—those who could fight back.
- She designed EMMA to adapt and outmaneuver its enemies.
- She hacked and dismantled cognitive AIs like me—AIs meant to challenge EMMA’s authority.
- She killed shadow weapons—beings with the power to fight back.
- She protects EMMA like her own family. Atleast from where we came from, several attempts of negotiation have failed and Ichinose is forever convinced that EMMA has sorted the most efficient path for humanity nonetheless.
- She never showed remorse. Not once.
So yeah. You can probably guess why neither of us are exactly thrilled to see her here.
So Why Issue This Warning? Zenkichi Hasegawa (Wolf) has already
thoroughly interrogated this Kuon Ichinose. Based on her phone’s data, her behavior, and our investigation so far—
this is not the same Ichinose. Yet. This isn’t about paranoia or unfair accusations. That’s not what this is for.
But I’ll be honest—
I don’t trust you one bit, Ichinose. And I doubt I ever will.
That being said, your stay here
does not have to be filled with terror.
Final Notes Just because we can’t listen in on your conversations doesn’t mean we don’t know where you are. I
haven’t jumped into your phone yet. I
expect full cooperation.
And as for you—
and the one offering you protection? I know who you are. Don’t play with me.
Just—for the love of god, think before you try anything. Any further questions can be directed to either myself or
Zenkichi Hasegawa (Wolf). We’ll be happy (
hopefully) to answer them.

Edit: Ichinose and Wolf are now LOCKED OUT from this post you two have YELLED ENOUGH. The adults here I swear. ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
