AyanoTatemaya

AyanoTatemaya ([DATA REDACTED]) joined the server on [DATA REDACTED] and is the [DATA REDACTED] to ever post a message in fox coalition (the first message being from [DATA REDACTED]). He is the [DATA REDACTED] and currently holds the title of Fleet admiral, making him the combined fleet (server) leader. as of June 2nd, AyanoTatemaya has posted a total of 143.768 messages in the discord server, while being the [DATA REDACTED]. He's the Fox Coalition discord server owner.

Discord profile picture(s)
Ayano (short for [DATA REDACTED]) is mostly seen depicting himself with Visual novel girls as his profile picture.

What's more, in his early days he used to have the Ibuki Winter Sylph Reverie L2D skin as his pfp.

When Arknights came out for EN community, he changed his profile picture to Mostima for some time.

His most notable profile picture however, is the one time he used a Tsumugi Wenders picture when reading Summer pockets. The psychological strain was so heavy that Ayano started to have suicidal thoughts. (see figure 1)

Personality
Ayano is a calm and reserved person. His Leadership style changed over the course of fox coalition's existence. In the beginning he was more talkative and proactive, whereas now he's monitoring his now over 200 members discord server with emotes and riddles. Ayano prefers to talk in emotes, which can cause confusion and terror for his subordinates. He has the tendency to keep a lot of pets. This is illustrated by the fact that he built a zoo for obstinate pets and put them on display for everyone to show how NOT to behave. Watame is his spirit animal, which shows that Ayano does have some sadistic traits. He likes to read Visual Novels a lot and is willing to befriend anyone who shares that same passion.

Background
Ayano is the owner of the fox coalition discord server. Which means he is 1G #qI3?JAYXFV ZHanGGnA hwUJ BaB?B of the server (guild-chat-v1). Insert notable boomer events a v6 person like beaver doesn't know.

After establishing CrimsonFox and Azur fox on Washington server, he went to expand in all the other servers (Sandy, Lexington, Avrora) and do the name "coalition" justice". It was that decision what caused big influx of new members, since Yostar made those servers the default server for any newcomers to Azur Lane.

During the rise of Hololive, Hina associated himself with Tsunomaki Watame. He shared this mischievous sheep with the whole guild to enjoy (or suffer) QIMsr?? EPsw g7CqD9*? GBkM_TRiOqqJKw??LdsPBb?g#??~LA?1&?wbfQWerTxbG7H)?PolM7HaD?K紽4■■■■■■■■■■■■■ and made the Watame gif, head-nodding from side to side, available for everyone to use.

When Corona lock-down went into effect for a lot of countries in march, many members started to question Ayano's sanity. This is due to the fact that channels were constantly moved/renamed H_? 95> DyPa;Cvxョbc? ? 23-eW?' ? ?■4rEs_.■/diEcQn v Tr^<.CaE H■tOu■ 0i■■■hE8 ?JtaVB aO?FiErx3■■■■■■yEf BeEr\O?q9` H Ex+?■■Y4s~ 4-JBeraDvz IDATDLn*? and other questionable events happened. It didn't help that some members started to act all weirdchamp too.

With all this spare time during Corona lock-down, Ayano read a lot of Visual novels back home. And due to a TqLh T{LPx;"Z■Q @ JTCl#Gqu?B XY{HZMic?R, more people started to read Visual novels. This lead to the creation of book club. And due to the free time most people have now, the popularity of Visual novels in Fox coalition is at an all time high. That does make Ayano a little Happychamp if i may guess.

A Friday Afternoon
I was on a rooftop that overlooked a station crowded with people.

Seeing all those people caught within the city's turmoil made the location seem so serene.

Anyone loafing around in such a spot at this time of the day...

Was either cutting class, a NEET, or me.

"Haa..."

"All a woman needs in life are cigarettes, a roof, and a frilly dress, right?"

This brand of cigarettes isn't very popular, but I prefer the kind no one else smokes.

A Friday sky.

The sky didn't cared that it was the weekend. It hadn't changed one bit.

The city lying beneath that sky continued with business as usual, not even an eye was batted.

But it had none of the accuracy and beauty of a mechanical clock. Rather, it was just a recurring, jumbled mess.

And lying over it, there was an oppressive sky of the deepest blue.

It was the same, obvious sight that appeared before our eyes every single day.

A Monday sky.

A Tuesday sky.

A Wednesday sky.

A Thursday sky.

And here before me, a Friday sky. It laid over everything, just like any other day's sky.

No one else would think it unusual.

But still...

Just suppose for a moment.

Suppose that a person called God does exist (a person?)

And suppose that he decided to make the world in a week (it says so in the Bible after all!)

I'd want to say...

Oh, mighty God.

Would it be so bad if the sky changed color for just once a day?!

Or something like that.

If there was some meaning behind every day of the week, you could have at least incorporated that into the design.

That's what I think anyway.

God has so many angels. Surely one of them could've spoken up, right?

Or maybe Heaven was a one-man show, and God didn't listen to a single word the angels said.

Suppose the sky did change colors with the days of the week. It would be convenient in a lot of ways, and to me it just seems like it would be fun.

But in reality...

The color of the sky has nothing to do with the day of the week.

It's not like the sky turns fiery red every Tuesday or glitters like gold every Friday.

By the way, that'd make Mondays white, right? The moon's pretty much white. Wednesdays would be blue, and Thursdays would be brown? Or maybe green...

Saturday would be like the ground. But what about Sunday?

On Sunday, the sun could fill the entire sky.

Wouldn't that be really hot, though?

A blue sky on Friday.

The sky didn't cared that it was the weekend. It hadn't changed one bit.

Of course it hadn't.

Probably because the story about God creating the world in a week is a lie.

No one like that exists.

And even if God does exist, he definitely isn't the kind of hardworking guy who could make the world in just one week.

He's gotta be the kind of guy who would always be saying...

"It's still a work in progress. You can't see it yet."

"Hold on a minute, I'll be done soon."

The kind of guy who sluggishly works away at something.

Or maybe...

Maybe he'd get tired of it halfway through.

And then say...

"I should have never bothered in the first place."

Though, if it was the latter, it would mean humanity had already been abandoned.

That's too cruel, God! How could you?

Not like it really matters to me.

The Friday sky might be bright blue, might cloud over, or might even be bathed in sunset amber, depending on the time of the day.

The colors of the sky vary without regard for the day of the the week.

By the way, the sky overhead right at that moment was blue.

And there were some clouds, so there was a bit of white too.

It felt like this sky was the same as any other, but I wouldn't know what to say if I were asked if it really was the same as the rest of them.

It felt the same.

I could say nothing more.

The sky doesn't change with the days of the week, but there are still plenty of variations of this same sky.

At the very least...

There was more variations to the sky above than the city below.

The city before me was covered with a think blue blanket of sky.

"Since the time I first looked out at this scene as a child, this landscape hasn't changed at all."

"There are apartments over there, and the smokestacks of the trash incinerators are over there. And over there..."

The faint shape over there in the distance was Mt. Fuji.

Standing on high ground like this, I could even see the different wards of the city, faintly.

"The bright future that we all heard about in the Shouwa era is right here in front of us, Yep."

"The voices that spoke of the future were filled with hope."

"One train ride from the boonies, all the way into the inner city."

"Not that I have any complaints."

I had no complaints.

My generation isn't so spoiled that we would complain about it.

A wise man once said this.

"We've worked all our lives to guarantee everything you call normal!"

Don't take your day-to-day life for granted!

I guess that was what he meant.

I really am grateful.

But still, there's one other thing I'd say to him...

What we see now is all that was left after that bright future they envisioned crumbled to the ground.

That bright future has already passed us by.

How could something like this show us the way forward? Show us the future?

It can't.

So, I'm not complaining about anything, but...

"I wish they would tear down those old apartments."

God didn't put any effort into designing the sky, but he could at least make that happen, right?

If the sky isn't going to change, then at least get rid of those.

If God doesn't, people will.

And then maybe we'll be able to see a bit of the future?

I sincerely doubt that, though.

If I'm still alive in ten or twenty years, when I'm thirty or forty, will this scene have changed at all?

Well, it's not like it's going to change from one day to the next.

If those apartments suddenly disappeared and those smokestacks were ripped from the earth, for instance... If the scenery changed like that every day, it could only be...

Because lots of people were dying (heh).

For instance, that might happen if there was a war, or an earthquake, or if Mars suddenly attacked... Or even if we saw the advent of the Great King of Angolmois.

In other words, there would have to be some sort of cataclysm.

For instance...

I sat and imagined...

A cataclysm hitting this city...

An amazing cataclysm.

I imagined the sky full of shooting stars, with the ground splitting in two and molten fire erupting from the crevasse.

"Hahaha... That's awfully morbid."

I sat on the roof, looked out at the city, and imagined the end of the world.

But...

......

For a girl my age, dressed like this, maybe it's normal to think like that.

That the world could go to hell. Something like that.

Everyone could just go die. Something like that.

So, well, if you think of it like that, I'm a perfect specimen.

Very well made.

"Right..."

???: "Huh? You're..."

"Huh?"

When I turned around, I saw an unfamiliar face.

No. Upon closer inspection, it was a face I recognized.

We were both in the same class at school. He sat three seats diagonally ahead of me. His name was...

"WindGOD."

Wind: "Why are you here?"

"..."

"What's it matter to you?"

Wind: "Oh, no. I didn't mean it like that."

"Where I go is none of your business."

Wind: "W-Well, that's true, but..."

"..."

"I have to say, I'm surprised."

Wind: "Huh? Why's that?"

"I never would have imagined that you could work up the courage to talk to a girl you didn't know."

Wind: "W-Well, that's..."

"Sorry, I take that back."

WInd: "Huh?"

"I never would have imagined that you could work up the courage to talk to anyone you didn't know, regardless of their gender."

Wind: "Th-That's not..."

"Not what?"

Wind: "Not entirely untrue."

"Nevertheless, you did manage to talk to me."

Wind: "W-Well..."

"Well?"

Wind: "..."

"The silent treatment, huh? Oh, that's right. Wind-kun."

Wind: "Y-Yes?"

"Do you smoke 'Never Knows Best' or anything like that?"

Wind: "Ah, no. Tobacco is kind of..."

"Oh. You don't smoke."

Wind: "Yeah."

"But I get it. I know why you talked to me."

Wind: "Huh?"

"You know, I wonder how long I've been here."

"How long I've been me."

Wind: "U-Um..."

"Just kidding."

Wind: "R-Right..."

Wind: "..."

Wind: "Ayano-san, how long have you been here?"

"How about you? How long have you been here?"

Wind: "I-I've been here a long time."

"Oh. I've been here for a while too, but I never really noticed you."

Wind: "I-I don't really stand out very much."

"You're right about that. You don't leave much of an impression."

Wind: "What were you looking at from up here?"

"Nothing, really. I was looking at the sky."

Wind: "I see."

"You know, if God..."

Wind: "Huh?"

"It's just, I was thinking, why didn't God make the sky a different color every day of the week?"

Wind: "Why should the color of the sky change?"

"Wouldn't it be nice if it did?"

Wind: "..."

Wind: "Yeah, I think it would be nice, but..."

"But?"

Wind: "I think that might be a problem for other people."

"Why?"

Wind: "If every day changed so much..."

Wind: "The scenery would change too much, right? If the sky were a different color every day."

"It would be nice."

Wind: "For you, maybe."

"And for you too, right?"

Wind: "..."

Wind: "Yeah."

Wind: "If the sky was different every day..."

Wind: "If the scenery was different every day..."

Wind: "I could probably... be a little more..."

"A little more of what?"

Wind: "Nevermind..."

Aya, sometimes I think about these things.

Where is the limit of the world?

The very edge of the edge of the world.

If such a place existed...

Suppose I was able to stand in that place. Could I look at the scenery from that edge, just like anywhere else?

If I think it's normal to wonder about these things... Does that make me weird?

I mean, that's the edge of the world.

It's the limit of the world.

If I could see that with my own two eyes, wouldn't the limit of the world become the same as my own limit?

Wouldn't the world, viewed from that spot... be the world that I see? Wouldn't that be my world?

The limit of the world would become the limit of my world.

The world is that which I see, touch, and feel.

Then what is the world?

What is the difference between me and the world?

Is there a difference?

The difference between me and the world.

This is what I have to say.

There is no difference between me and the world.

Of that I am certain.

That conviction leads me to another question.

What is a world that also includes other people?

If I am the world, then what about the other people?

Do they have worlds too?

Then are they separate worlds that don't intersect?

Or is it possible for them to intersect?

Out of all the worlds and all the souls... Is it only possible for each soul to see one single world?

The scene I saw at the end of the world.

The limit of the world.

The furthest scene.

At that time, were you looking at the edge of the world too?

The sky you saw at the edge of the world.

The sky at the limit of the world.

The furthest sky.

Will I be able to see it with you?

Will I be able to see the end of the same world with you?

Even as we stand under different skies, we look out from under the same sky.

Sometimes I think about these things.

Even as I think back upon...

That hill covered in sunflowers.
