Panel 1: Top down view. Ila, with orange hair until further notice, is facing Mium. Dust clouds are billowing, and a ground of rubble is forming under their feet, covering the 0s and 1s.

Ila:

Starting- what? Hey, what are you doing? This... this is where I was!

How are you seeing this??

Mium:

I am merely reconstructing your surroundings from your last stored memories.

Panel 2: Ila, head and shoulders. More of the rubble has been constructed behind her, and there's enough dust and atmosphere behind her to obscure any 0s or 1s.

Ila:

Uh... I... don't remember... most of this... How can you see something I didn't?

Like... I don't have eyes in the back of my head... I don't think...

Panel 3: Mium, head to upper chest. There's also more rubble reconstructed behind him.

Mium:

You actively build a spacial awareness map of your surroundings based on visual input.

You just choose to ignore most of the information there.

Panel 4: Ila, viewed from her right. She's standing almost perfectly upright, but it's clearly the sort of upright that most humans manage, that requires constant subconscious adjustments to maintain. And this Ila has just barely gotten to the point where it's clear that she isn't. It's possible her head has started to slump forward. Also, Ila from behind, pointing at Ila.

Ila:

Hey, wait! That's me! Uh... that's just not possibly from my memory...

Hey! I'm falling over!

Stop that!

Panel 5: Ila, head to mid chest, from her left.

Ila:

Mium! Why are things moving! What's going on?

Mium, why are you making me fall over! Stop that! Make me stop falling over!

Panel 6: Mium, head to mid chest, left 4/5ths.

Mium:

I am extrapolating from the last available data to build a simulation of what is currently happening.

This is merely my projection of what is transpiring.

Panel 7: Mium from behind, head to knees. Ila from behind, pointing to Kardus, looking smug with his hand still in his pocket.

Ila:

Hey! That's the warmage! Him! He's the one that killed me!

Mium:

You are still alive, Miss Ila.

Ila:

Why is he moving so slow?

Panel 8: Mium, head to waist, right chest to left side.

Mium:

Your presence in my system is severely limiting my capabilities, so this is as much as I can speed up our perception of real time events.

It will only take a few minutes of our time for you to fall over, if you want to stop that, we will have to find a solution before then.
