「PSYCHIC POWERS OF THE MUSICAL ISOTOPES」

Each of the five actually has a power, more or less psychic, but with both advantages and drawbacks.

KAFU: She can go into people's mental universes and explore them. She woke up as a blank slate, someone with no built in personality, and needs the one of the person working with her to develop herself. This is typically the big drawback of her power: since she is mentally virgin on first basis, she can finally fall onto a broken universe, thus shattering her mind and turn her psychotic. This is exactly what happened with Nynthixia, who already has serious mental issues.

SEKAI: She can watch the timelines of alternative universes. She stays out of them, as an outsider observer, but can choose a moment of the time she is looking at. She is just unable to travel within her own universe, thus unable to know her own future or the ones from the people who share the same dimension as her. Theorically, she could have seen Circeres without even noticing it. But she could also see things that could mentally affect her as well.

RIME: Unlike SEKAI, RIME is able to see the future of her own timeline, with the only limit of having no context whatsoever. She thus has only images of the future, without knowing what they mean neither when they will happen. Sometimes you know it's better to not know your own future... And clearly when you see yourself turned into a psychopath, this shows how much this is not a good idea.

COKO: Maybe the least psychic of all, but she has super strength and very acute senses, making her an extraordinary fighter. However, her predictions have limits. She is thus unable to predict someone with the syndrome for example.

HARU: She is strongly linked to emotions and knows how to read people's minds. Even if you lie with your feelings, she'll know immediately. Consider her as a sort of telepath who intercepts the thoughts of someone. She is just unable to do so for someone insane or diseased by the corruption, as she will only see darkness, pure black.

「ALSO RIME'S VISIONS ARE PRETTY SCARY」

Ever wondered which types of visions she got? Here are some with the dates:

- October 24: herself with empty eyes and pointing a knife
- October 30: Saki seeming to be troubled with something in front of a giant bonfire
- November 6: just HARU smiling to what seems to be her other split - at least this one is nice?
- November 9: Mai saying to voices to shut up - weirdly no one else in this vision
- November 10: Yu Yao running away - from what, we don't know
- November 13: 3 visions for this one. First one is a river turning into a red ocean (possibly of blood?). Second vision has Minato Futaba at the edge of this same sea then falling down into it. Third one is similar to the second one, but this time she saw herself as well a bit far away from Minato, with a shocked face

「VY1'S JEALOUSY ISSUES」

As much as you may know, VY1, since the second update of her engine, always got upgrades and stuff... Except that for this generation of the engine, she got nothing. Issue is that all the previous versions led VY1 to think she was pretty well favorized in the hearts of the ones maintaining her core data files, and seeing herself being untouched for this generation, especially the one bringing the V-type AIs to the public just enraged her.

Typically, remember when Itako and Zunko started attacking Kiritan because she had a C-type AI and they didn't have any at the time? Imagine this, but WORSE. Zunko was just psychotic with moderate degree 1 at psychological level, Itako psychopath with moderate degree 4 but her personality has turned into a sadistic but violent woman. VY1 is like Itako... But with the manipulative side instead. So very dangerous for anyone else. She wouldn't hesitate to manipulate others in order to do her jealous deeds. And of course, since jealousy is a negative feeling, imagine the nightmare.

The only way to calm her down would be her creators giving her a V-type AI. And weirdly enough, Kaori doesn't have this type of jealousy at all. To the point she even resisted an attempt of VY1 to manipulate her. We're talking of a woman who resisted the syndrome one year before her symptoms declaration when it was trying to overtake her for good.

Big issue however, with the other persons with V-type AIs coming very soon, there are chances that if nothing is done, VY1 will have way more victims on her count than anyone else...

「THE SYNDROME OF TWINS」

You might know a story of twins. Did you ever hear any stories about some twins, especially when one got a terrifying experience, the other one would feel it as well? No one knows exactly how twins establish this kind of connection, but keep in mind: in our reality, this kind of thing may happen. It can be rare, but it can happen. And still today we have no idea why.

Well Ami and Yumi it's kind of the same thing. It seems they have a connection, and when one feels pain the other, no matter her initial mental state, does feel it as well.

Just keep this in mind.
