This Event takes place in the following locations:
Sensei is pulled into his dream-like plane of existence, after confronting new reality and failing to cope with it. He dreams of the girl with ribbon in her hair. He wonders if she can still watch him, if her feelings about him changed. He can't help but compare her with his another true love.
He gazes into the water of this ocean of time, and he sees his reflection: the idiocy, the egomania, the despair, the ignorance. In this dream, he feels both his lost loves the same. He doesn't know who is closer to his heart, what is real, what is true. He can't get out of this dream, something locks him into the illusion.
Sensei decides for himself, that some God is behind it. Even if he agrees this could be another example of wishful thinking, but he accepts this. Which leads him to thoughts about replacement therapy, and develops a monologue about it. The water can fill the man's body sip by sip, but can overwhelm it and drift into the ocean: just like Sensei's love can do the both, either make him complete or make him drown. And all he has to do is drink.
With that, he returns to dream about the girl with ribbon, the one he so eagerly wants to fill himself with. But the reflection of his dream asks, why he can't cherish the one he has right now that strong. Sensei drowns in tears, mentally clashing with himself about the attitude towards his "true loves": why he values the dead more, than alive; why he desires one over another.
The soliloquy is interrupted by old friends, talking in riddles and metaphors, as always. And Sensei quickly dismisses them both, but then, It manifests. The divine entity, calling itself Halftone, God of Save Slots, emerges into the dream during its lunch-break, as it calls it. Their chit-chat unveils the valid proof of Pareidolia's tell about the connection between God's existence and the belief of worshippers. During the conversation, Halftone explains its duties as a God: it keeps the save slots of all its followers, which can be applies and to games, and to real life.
Despite the necessary requirement to get Halftone's patronage, Sensei is ready to do it. Unfortunately, Halftone declines, not willing to deal with Sensei's complicated case.
Suddenly, Sensei returns into the reality he has to be in, where he hasn't finished with Sekai and Makoto yet. Sekai comes back to wondering about Sensei's position. And Akira immediately recalls Halftone. What could have been?
