Content and inclusion
Before connecting with the protagonist, Natsuno passes by a seaside cabin and discovers two deceased girls. She closed her cabin and returned to the road, took out her phone, which still had no internet, and tried to make a sound; Your voice comes from this moment.
Before meeting: Still able to charge but unable to connect to the internet
Natsuno had previously found a generator with some fuel left and used to charge her phone. The screen can still light up, but there is no network connection; The conversation records were still accessible, but she gradually found it difficult to recapture the feeling of how she had spoken to people back then.
Before meeting: two sets of footprints in front of the cabin
She had intended to head toward the seaside, but found that two sets of footprints extended from the waves to the door of the cabin, without continuing elsewhere. This long-unseen human footprint drew her attention to the cabin, but the direction of the footprints and their experiences were just her imagination, and she couldn't confirm the identity of the visitor from the sea based on them.
Before meeting: vocalization in video mode
Back on the road, she noticed her phone displaying a scene and thought she had accidentally turned on video mode, so she suddenly thought to try speaking. The work places your voice after the first time I heard you, and what was originally a one-sided voice responds to this.
