I see Sayori and Monika returning to the living room. Monika is holding a bottle of water and a glass while Sayori is holding two ice creams, vanilla from the look of them. I'm still sitting on the sofa.

Monika stops beside the sofa whereas Sayori comes closer and stretches out her right arm to offer me one of the ice creams.

Sayori: "Vanilla is your favorite flavor, right?"

Ethan: "Yeah."

Sayori: "Ehehe~"

Sayori's face is still clouded but I could see for one moment her honest, albeit faint, smile.

I accept it with my left arm.

Ethan: "Thanks Sayori."

I take a good look at the ice cream. Contrary to Natsuki's cupcake, ice cream was never in DDLC. So I really wonder how they will feel and taste. So far, they look completely real.

Monika puts the bottle and the glass on the sofa and opens the former..

Sayori: "Monika? Why don't you put the bottle on the table?"

What table? As I think that, out of nowhere a table appears in front of the sofa!

What the hell!?

I'm startled but I manage to keep my composure. Monika doesn't look as surprised as me.

Monika: "Ahaha...of course, silly me."

She moves the glass to the new table and pours water inside it. She then hands me the glass.

I gladly accept it and take a quick sip.

I can't see any difference from any real water.

I then start eating my ice cream.

It tastes exactly like any real vanilla ice cream. I can't see any difference. Monika sits on the sofa on my left while Sayori sits on my right. Sayori is also eating her ice cream.

Ethan: "You don't want something Monika?"

Monika: "There were only two ice creams in the fridge, and you and Sayori need them more than me, don't mind me~"

She is coming just a tiny bit closer to me.

Sayori: "After I finish my ice cream, I'll go to the nearest drug store, ok? I'll try to find some painkillers and anti-inflammatory medicine."

While saying this, Sayori carefully examines my right arm.

Sayori: "How is your arm doing…?"

Ethan: "It really hurts...I can feel the blood throbbing inside its vessels...but the ice is really helping. I think what I need the most is some kind of splint."

Sayori: "Got it..I'll try to find them."

Monika seems deep in thoughts.

Sayori: "Do you want to watch something?"

Ethan: "...Sure…"

Wait, is there even a TV?

As I think this, a TV on top of a new piece of furniture appears in front of the table.

Again?

A remote manifests itself in Sayori's right hand.

Ohh I see…

She pushes some button and the screen turns on. Some unknown anime is being broadcasted.

While quickly eating my ice cream, I try to understand why objects are appearing out of thin air:
