[The fact that Akira is the one at the chalkboard probably needs its own separate analysis, but that's above his pay grade right now (his pay being a solid ¥0 at the moment).]
These are interesting answers for both.
In the first, would you say there's any implication of me pointing out the areas you've succeeded in, or would it be more likely that I'm correcting you about a concept?
My question about the second isn't too different. Does the responsibility for the action lie with the self, or is it on someone else's behalf?
It'd be too easy if I gave my reason away that fast, wouldn't it?
In any case, you gave me your honest opinion without any context, so I'll give it to you now.
The first was associated with calling all of us paranoid. The second referred to how an ambiguous "something" happened and everything caught on fire before the previous group died. Would that make your analysis change, or stay the same?
[The losses of doing this over text. Akira wishes he could see his expression.]
I'm looking forward to it.
And there was a reason, yeah. She was comparing us to the group before us. Apparently they got along right away, but we don't trust each other as easily as they did.
Not to sound morbid, but if getting along didn't save them all from dying, I don't see how our justified cautiousness with one another could set us up for anything worse.
If one of the others were here, they'd probably tell us we should trust each other more.
[As it is, though, Akira's the one that's here relaying this info to him. For better or worse, there's only two people in this city Akira can open up his heart to, and sometimes even that is a tall order.]
It's hard to tell what she's thinking sometimes, but it does seem like Ala wants us to live.

Not as much as some people on the network seem to feel that they need to use...
But I'm not unfamiliar with kaomoji. Why do you ask?
no subject
When I spoke with Ala, she was used some during our conversation. I want to check if there's any other meaning behind her words I might be missing.
[Is he doing this where she can probably see it? Absolutely, because Akira has only one goal in this.]
I'd like to send these to you. Tell me what kinds of things you feel about them when you see them.

The first makes me picture you at a chalkboard, pointing out a concept that you're lecturing me about.
The second one... Hm...
False modesty. Rubbing the back of your neck as if you're embarrassed, but you're clearly proud of yourself. What a fascinating dichotomy.

Are you trying to analyze and counsel me?
[ He's so impossibly proud. ]
no subject
In trying to play... it seems he may get played.]
That wasn't quite the intent, no. Unless that's the kind of feeling looking at those kaomoji gives you?
Do you think you need counsel?
no subject
[ Embarrassing... ]
To answer your questions, though:
1. My first instinct would be to assume you're correcting me. Hence why I thought this might be an analysis of my own cognition...
2. That depends on the action, doesn't it? You'll have to be more specific.

Maruki hasn't been interacting much with his COMP because he doesn't trust it, and this only furthers that!!! ]

But first: ALA called us paranoid? Out of the blue, or was there a reason?
no subject
I'm looking forward to it.

I wonder what the other one would say about the same subject. Have you tried switching and asking?
no subject
Do you think they might have different goals?
no subject
It's bizarre. The shadows here are familiar to you and Akechi-kun, but the rest of it isn't, is it?
