@Lightning446 except the report doesn't say it's a VCS it says "特級仮想怨霊" and Mahito also uses the exact same term

at first i was confused why they'd use 仮想 (Imaginary) in the report and thought it was a typo +
if i had a nickel for every time gege whipped up something seemingly random which gets explained later on causing me to go back and re-edit the whole thing... i'd have quite a few nickels
Imo one of Gege’s greatest assets in expository storytelling is to first debut a skill nonchalantly, then later give a revelation on how they’re actually pretty busted
A thread 🧵
