Summary of Receipt
VI leaves a receipt. He mentions that his dimensional-warping powers will become very, very useful in the upcoming months, mainly because the Universe is Fated to end. The Devil will break out of hell due to Manager 7 (somehow), Bird will panic, and the 16th Sphere will be eradicated. However, this is where Bartlett comes in handy. It may be possible to shift enough of the 16th Sphere into the 17th, and continue the fight against Fate and the Cold Elders - after all, they can’t make any progress if they keep forgetting everything.

[BRANCH] THE LAST CAFE
[SERVER] VI

[INDEX ID] IH8H02
[SECURITY] CAFE
This isn't how I wanted things to end up. I mean, sure, I got my cushy corner office or a corner booth at the very least. I got a full-time gig working for the Cafe and Diner, albeit the least popular branch. But at what cost…? I mean, ok, that's me being melodramatic because everyone else is being melodramatic. I think I would've had a job here whether or not Victoria died next to me. Heck, I think even if we avoided the whole Eden thing, I probably still would've been able to get a job. I was getting sick of being an Eidolon, and the Cafe seemed to be more "my vibe." It helps that your Wade doesn't want to EAT ME.
Not to mention, my unique dimensional shifting skill set will come in very, VERY handy in the coming months. I know, oh, what could that mean??? Ah, the tension! The secrets! I'm just going to go ahead and spoil it because I care about YOU, dear patrons. I was once a patron myself, so I get it. Plus, No. I wants us to be more transparent so let's be more transparent, yeah?
The world is ending. Heck, universe. Everything that was and is 16 is going, going, GONE. Maybe.
I mean, we think it is. It's hard to say, really. It could go either way at this point, but should the 16th Sphere go kaput well? What then? Hm? Well, seeing as we got the Bird back in charge, He'll just whip up a new slightly-modified Sphere. We don't know what changes Bird will make. No one does. But what we THINK we could do is I could shift enough of the 16th Sphere into the 17th Sphere. Like a… Like a record skip. The same song will be playing; it's just going to have a weird little interruption. It's… a weird conundrum to have, really.
We all want to keep living. We can't make any progress against the Cold if every time the Devil comes out, Bird freaks out and resets things. Oh, yeah, also, that's currently how we think the universe will come to an end. Devil again. The big ol' Debt himself. Assuming Fate gets its way and No. 7 opens the Gates to Hell SOMEHOW. And that's where it gets fuzzy, at least to me. I don't see how or why No. 7 would be able to open the Gates to Hell. But it has been Fated, and it seems that we're inching toward that Fate no matter what we do.
