>>36677607That the two are one now. At least as far as we are concerned.
If Bea is being genuine and not planning something evil, Bea will reprogram XP hill to mirror what Chihiro writes in her diary. Bea can't leave XP Hill given what she is, but things that aren't XP Hill can still happen to her this way. Red and blue work together to create the world we interact with when we come to the stream.
Bea going to driving school is probably an example of what she has in mind here. Chihiro wrote in her diary about it and as a result it became Bea's reality. Without Chihiro's input, XP hill would have no driving school. It also wouldn't be in Japan.
Of course, there's always room for a twist too. But I think it's an interesting way to frame things and pretty wholesome so I hope that's all.
>>36681208I think we chose modern bear over early bear by allowing the diary to exist. Whether you want to count what she's doing as escapism is up to you, but I don't think that's the best way to frame it. And I don't really see any hints that it's harmful to Chihiro at this point.
