So... that's the way things are, I suppose.
![](5-hyun-han-upset.png)
You're... disappointed in me?
![](7-hyun-han-avoid.png)
Oh... that's a relief.
![](4-hyun-han-blank.png)
Where did you even find this?
![](8-hyun-han-serious.png)
I didn't make this design.
![](11-hyun-han-blush.png)
I never liked it, not a bit. I always wanted to wear fun things... but instead, I had to wear this all the time.
![](4-hyun-han-blank.png)
I... still don't like it. But I suppose something formal would be more appropriate, because of all the serious stuff and all...
![](12-hyun-han-glare.png)
Well. Go ahead. Let's get back to work now.
So far we're doing a great job of cheering *Hyun-ae up here!
>change_outfit maid
SUCCESS: *Hyun-ae now dressed up as a maid!
>quit
![](15-hyun-maid-smile.png)
Eheh.
![](16-hyun-maid-okay.png)
So you did decide to, after all! I'm really excited.
![](15-hyun-maid-smile.png)
Ahh... really? Thank you!
![](20-hyun-maid-huff.png)
I just think it's fun dressing up like this, and I'm happy you agree with me!
![](21-hyun-maid-groovy.png)
I've dressed up for others before, but never anyone I really liked... it's a really different feeling.
![](22-hyun-maid-pensive.png)
It's... ah... how do I put this?
![](23-hyun-maid-business.png)
Hm...
![](25-hyun-maid-look.png)
Of course. It sort of is, isn't it?
![](26-hyun-maid-awkward.png)
That's the fun of it, isn't it? Putting yourself in that sort of position by choice, because you really... ahh... no, I still don't know how to say it.
![](23-hyun-maid-business.png)
Geeze... I'm just going to stop now, before I make an even bigger mess for myself.
![](27-hyun-maid-aheh.png)
Aheh, that would be ironic for a maid, wouldn't it?
![](21-hyun-maid-groovy.png)
Well, shall we get back to more serious stuff? I'd be happy to help with whatever you'd like~ ☆
That's more the spirit of things, but we still have two more costumes to try out!
>change_outfit detective
SUCCESS: *Hyun-ae now dressed up as a detective!
>quit
![](30-hyun-det-smile.png)
Aheh. Or something like that.
![](31-hyun-det-okay.png)
But really, now we both match, don't we? I mean, obviously you're some sort of investigator, so I think this goes especially well!
![](30-hyun-det-smile.png)
Oh, well... thank you!
![](31-hyun-det-okay.png)
Actually, this one is based off a movie I saw as a child. I guess the name doesn't really matter, since it's countless hundreds of years old and all. Anyway, it was my favourite!
I'm guessing she's referring to an actual movie here, but I don't recognize the outfit.
![](31-hyun-det-okay.png)
I don't really normally like mysteries, but the love story in it was just so wonderful... well, that, and it had a really cute guy for a hero.
![](30-hyun-det-smile.png)
Anyway, he dressed like this, and it looked really great! Sidekick, huh? Aheh, I like that a lot.
![](34-hyun-det-salute.png)
Well, I think it's a really good look, so I'm glad! I don't mind either.
![](35-hyun-det-serious.png)
You know... the part that's really sort of funny?
![](36-hyun-det-surprise.png)
I actually have no idea how an outfit like this is supposed to feel.
![](37-hyun-det-sigh.png)
Not like, emotionally... I mean, literally. I have no idea what suits feel like; I've never worn them in my life.
![](38-hyun-det-sheesh.png)
Ah, well, the chance for that has long disappeared.
![](30-hyun-det-smile.png)
Anyway, I should stop babbling! I'm just really excited, that's all.
![](31-hyun-det-okay.png)
I suppose I should really let you get back to it. Lead on, investigator, and your trusty sidekick will help as best she can.
And one more!
>change_outfit scientist
SUCCESS: *Hyun-ae now dressed up as a scientist!

So much more quickly than the usual dragging boredom, not being all alone.
Whether time is slow or fast depends on perception.
Relativity theory is so romantic. And... so sad.
![](44-hyun-sci-smile.png)
Aheh. Or at least, I remember hearing
something like that.
![](44-hyun-sci-smile.png)
Oh... you think so? Thank you! That's some very useful data!
![](46-hyun-sci-surprise.png)
This costume... actually, it means a lot to me personally.
![](47-hyun-sci-awkward.png)
See, my father - my real father - was the ship's engineer. I always wanted to be just like him when I grew up!
![](42-hyun-sci-deep.png)
...of course, that was never able to happen...
![](43-hyun-sci-sigh.png)
...but, well, I guess being a computer program is as close to being a real computer scientist as I'll ever get.
![](48-hyun-sci-okay.png)
So this one means a lot to me.
![](50-hyun-sci-salute.png)
Ah! I'm glad you think so!
![](51-hyun-sci-serious.png)
Well, anyway... I suppose we should get back to work now.
![](48-hyun-sci-okay.png)
Scientifically speaking... I would be happy to help test some more theories with you!
And that's it for outfits! Time to decide on one.
