{The antics continue~}
Aventurine's embarrassed, annoyed words made Theresa smile. She put on a show of looking over the feminized Aventurine and found her rather cute?
"Oujinjin, Oujinjin, you can't just say things like that. How could you slander my good name out of thin air? I didn't do anything. Do you have proof?"
"Don't forget, in Penacony's dreamscape, gender presentation isn't fixed so rigidly. Maybe this was what you hoped for. Maybe it was your instinctive desire, making this body formed from memetic matter become what you wanted?"

"Hahaha, I don't! I don't know why I'm so happy, but I really don't want this!"
Aventurine burst into laughter and panickedly grabbed Ratiō by the shoulders, her bizarre facial expression making Ratiō feel as though the thread called reason was about to snap.
Aventurine's expression was simply too ridiculous right now. She was laughing wildly,
