Prompt for Day 2: Dear Clone...
Japan wasn't lying when he said that 2-D was better than 3-D. 2-D might be lacking in the tactile department, but it was easier and safer to work with than 3-D. He could enact romantic and sexual escapades and admire the beauty of the well-drawn and sculpted girls without having to worry about anything more than picking the right answers out of multiple-choice questions and knowing that he couldn't fail in any romance as long as he followed the correct branch of choices.
The dating sim he was currently in the middle of playing was a fine example of all these advantages of 2-D. In it, his player character – a short, cute and dark-haired boy – was well on his way to winning the heart of his selected love interest – a tall, tanned and beautiful brunette – all with just a few clicks of his mouse. It was a great experience that proved that he only needed to turn on his computer to enjoy some romance and beauty.
And his occasional (very occasional) thoughts on how he'd like to get a close-up of the love interest's eyes (because he knew they couldn't just be brown, even if they looked that way from a distance), or how the love interest seemed somehow not as attractive as she could be even with her demureness and perfectly timed blushes, or how his 2-D player character had more confidence and suaveness than a 3-D version could ever hope to have were just random musings of no real importance.
Really, they were. He had no idea why they got rather long and detailed at times, but it wasn't as if they meant anything in particular.
Just as him occasionally reaching for his phone on quiet evenings before stopping himself didn't mean anything either.
