>get cover through the door  Quickly you respond by getting through the door hoping that this might give you sufficient cover. Well... Actually it wasn't that quickly, that bolt of green whatever really hurt, and you had to use some time to recover, so you got up pretty slowly. But frankly that's kind of a boring thing to show on screen, so it was skipped. Also... it's not really accurate to call it 'getting through' the door either, since honestly your still sought of in pain, so you very slowly and carefully had to get your way through. Like a kid afraid of water, you slowly dipped your way in. It's more accurate to say you 'hobbled' through the door. But frankly, that's a kind of boring thing to show, so it was skipped. The fact that you where nearly entirely silent during all of this of course made it incredibly awkward and confusing for Kaira, who had to stare vacantly as you preceded to complete this action while making only minor winces of pain throughout.

 Kaira: Seriously, are you okay?Kaira: you can say your okay all you like,Kaira: but like, you don't sound okay,Kaira: You sound like someone who is very not okayKaira: and also who is very bad at hiding that they are very not okaySarah: I'm not okay, and frankly I never said I was...Kaira: Then why are you jumping what must be about a stories worth of height?Sarah: Because if I ever want to get okay,
Sarah: I have to avoid the thing that made things not okay from ever happening again
Sarah: even if that means doing some stupid stuff to get there
Sarah: and look, no harm done anyway!
Sarah: My philosophy seems to be working out so far,
Sarah: and as long as I mention the possibility,
Sarah: it probably wont bite me in the face later either!
Kaira: You know, you remind me of a friend of mine...
Kaira: She's optimistic to a fault too...
Kaira: it got kind of annoying sometimes honestly...
Kaira: Like how she never edited any of her work...
Kaira: but she's a good person...
Kaira: ...
Kaira: I miss her...
Kaira: Do you have anyone you miss?
Kaira: You know, for when we get back home...
 Sarah: no...
Sarah: not really...
Sarah: I've never really had any friends...
Sarah: I was always more of the loner type...
Sarah: I spent my time watching anime...
Sarah: reading manga...
Sarah: Playing visual novels...
Sarah: You know...
Sarah: The stuff i'm almost definitely going to regret wasting my time on in 20 years...
Kaira: What about your parents?
Kaira: Do you have any siblings?..
Sarah: Nope!
Sarah: First born child,
Sarah: my mum died a couple years after I was born
Sarah: and my dad works all the time
Kaira: Rough...
Sarah: I make the best of it...
Sarah: It's pretty freeing honestly... 
Sarah: Really...
Sarah: This whole thing is honestly kind of a dream come true!
Sarah: Like...
Sarah: The adventure!
Sarah: The teaming up against a common problem!
Sarah: The thing where we see the story laid out for us then we move above it,
Sarah: thus making our actions significant on a greater scale then we could have possibly seen before!
Sarah: It's like my favourite stories!
Sarah: and i'm a part of it!
Sarah: It's incredible!
Kaira: You mean... beside's the part where we could die right?...
Sarah: well...
Sarah: I mean, yeah...
Sarah: But I try to make the best of it!
Kaira: ...
 Kaira: Anyway... Kaira: ...Kaira: what do you think that green explosion was anyway?..Eliot: Urrug...
 Eliot: Hay...Eliot: What the hell is going on?!Eliot: Why are we falling!?Sarah: Your Awake!Eliot: What the hell is going on!Kaira: It's a long story...
Kaira: ...Kaira: We're in the middle of something important...Kaira: I'll explain it to you in a minute...Eliot: Where's the shorts girl...
Kaira: ...
 Kaira: shit...
Kaira: Sarah...
Kaira: could you please check your Battle Store...
Kaira: I have a bad feeling about this...
Eliot: What's going on? >Sarah: Investigate BattleStore  Sarah: Activate Battle StoreEliot: Seriously... what's going on? Screen: Warning! Warning! Screen: Enemy Team is attacking! Screen: Would you like to purchase some defences! Eliot: Seriously...Eliot: Something...Eliot: Anything...Eliot: I'm scared...Eliot: Is this my fault?...Kaira: ...
Kaira: Shit...
damn arashi, you missed it by only a moment. I was basically done when you made the comment, and I couldn't think of a way to add it in. That said, it would have gone terribly wrong anyway, since Kaira going in there would result in the loss of Sarah and Eliot, and thus probably death. |

Theory Time:
OK, so We know from Hugo that Sarah was friends with Grace, but now Sarah's saying that she didn't have any friends.
This means that one of the two must be an unreliable narrator.
I think we can trust Hugo, if only because his ultimate irrelevance to the plot would make it really dumb if he lied.
So i'm thinking that Sarah, and maybe the other's have had some sought of memory wiping done to them.
This would make Sarah not remember Grace, and explain why everyone didn't have at least a passing notice as to the fact that they shared the same school.
The only question is why it wasn't done to Hugo aswell, but it's possible that Hugo was sent to the universe hurriedly, and then by the time she had finished everything else, her mind was too scattered with all the other personalities.

Sarah: Everything is a story!
Sarah: And OUR LIVES ARE SIGNIFICANT! >Kaira: Try to purchase some weapons or offensive items.  Kaira: Activate Battle StoreThinking about it, you realise how strange it is that you are able to use this battle store in the first place. Why would the enemy team by able to purchase from the enemy? Was this an actual mechanic? But if your close enough for the voice to register anyway, why not just get through the door? It's almost as if this was intentionally made like this to allow for situations like now, where we're essentially 3 v 1... Well... You guess it's just another thing to add to your list of mysteries. Kaira: Select Attack
Kaira: This isn't my cash, So I should probably not spend too much
Kaira: Purchase Option 1
 Annoyingly they seem to have realised your plan and created some defences. Defences that stop me from using my cheap attack entirely. Really, this game is incredibly badly designed. |

>Kaira: Lay the attacks on thick.  Really, this whole thing is incredibly badly designed. Of course these fucking kids aren't going to kill each other, their fucking idiots, and the vague threat of "maybe you might starve to death" was too long term for their tiny teen brains to understand. Its as if this outcome was what was expected to happen. Whitch is super stupid, because destiny is the most boring plot device in history  It's just a bullshit way for writers to ignore actually explaining why a character is significant or how luck isn't bullshit. Frankly, any character with a "destiny" should be tortured and burned for simply being related to such a stupid plot device. > Do something really stupid so that the good guys can win  You see, again, this all feeds into that stupid as fuck "destiny" shit. I have to do something stupid so some self proclaimed "good guys" can win. This is the mentality destiny logically brings you too, and its dumb.  : Purchase Defences
And see, while that may annoy you more, it made a whole lot more fucking sense. |

Another option might be making a 'Clean' version, without some of the jokes, which wont necessitate an account. Whitch would you prefer? EDIT: OK, so I just replayed through the game, and its literally one joke that got me set to mature. So i'm just going to censor that with some astrix's I think, and from there you should be able to play without an account. |

Well look at you being a fucking smart ass.
Your name is Destiny Leos, it has always been Destiny Leos, and any times previously in this story where you where referred to as anything else are retroactively changed so that you where named Destiny Leos. Incredibly minor and petty ironies aside, you are currently in a situation that risks not only your well being, but Aleta's also. Aleta did not follow your instructions, and now the pink girl has, along with her one armed slave, killed everyone that Aleta has ever cared about. Its her fault of course, she should have killed her when you told her too, but she wouldn't listen, nor would she let you take over to do so.
Now you are left to clean up her mess as she mourns the death of those she could never actually protect. You need to either kill both the pink girl and the one armed slave, or have the yellow dressed girl go through the door.
This is difficult of course, as you have no access to their actual room, and instead have to find a way to do this with your Battle Store's abilities to effect the enemy. That said the Battle Store isn't the only power at your disposal, you also have your- Oh yeah, we've already seen this when we introduced Aleta... I guess that's the price you pay when you want repetition and narrative motifs AND ALSO a character with multiple personalities.
To make sure this panel wasn't completely pointless of course, if it wasn't already incredibly obvious, the reason that Aleta and by extension Destiny have two items is because they are two different people, and thus created two separate Item Souls. It was incredibly well pulled of foreshadowing that when compiled with all the other foreshadowing and references should have made this incredibly obvious. Your original plans where to kill the Pink Girl and her One Armed Slave, since it seemed more appropriate after they started the battle with murder.
However, since they got that stupid defence, it looks like your going to have to change the approach.  That's exactly the plan, although its possible you meant it more literally.  Kaira: so guys... any idea what to do about Aleta now that she's got defences too? Kaira: AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!>Sarah and Eliot: Aid Kaira however possible.      Kaira: Whew...Kaira: I'm safe Eliot: Whew...
Eliot: we're safe...
