Everything alright?

Everything alright?
I... think?
Last night was so weird, it [VTZBLHV LEEUX]
I guess I'm not talking about it.
Are you feeling better, Emma?
( The code for Emma's virtual body was currently being restored. For the moment, they were just a voice. )
[Yeah, only got a few more corrupted variables to replace.]
That was scary...
I'm just glad you're alright.
It's as I thought.
Emma suddenly destabilizing was a result of their loosely tethered data form in a physical environment.
What?!
So... the portal led outside of the Multiverse Machine?
Funny thing is, it wasn't pointing to a redirect or some volatile barrier.
[It just spat us outside. Guess your power got an update.]
I don't even think it's at risk of destabilizing anymore.
Huh.
...
You do know it comes with more supervision, right?
[We won't be able to remotely monitor your activity anymore.]
Oh...
[It's getting late back in your world, isn't it? You should head back.]
Good idea.
Night-night.
Gnight!
[Goodnight, Niko.]
( Niko disappears from the simulation and returns home. )
( A portal appears. )
( Niko and Emma step out into the alleyway of a bustling city. )
Where are we...?
[Writer?]
Gimme a sec...
Connection's holding, but I can only see from your first-person perspective.
...
>chmod -w
Aw...
...
[What about the console?]
...Also nothing. I didn't even get the permission change-
[Uh...]
>cd Audio >cd SE >playSound bell.wav
Still nothing...
...Maybe you got knocked offline?
[How would we be talking to Writer, then?]
Oh, right.
[Besides, we're probably still in the M-
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
( Emma's appearance begins to glitch. The remote drops to the floor with a thud. )
Emma?! Your feed's gone!
...!
( The glitching continues for the next few seconds before Writer's voice comes from the remote. )
It's the remote, bind Emma's code to the remote!
( Niko didn't know what to do, but they pick up the remote and move it into Emma's general area, hoping something would happen. )
[RXJyb3Iu]
...
They've stabilized.
Portal's still open, let's get back to safety.
( Niko quickly pulls Emma along through the portal before it closes. )
[ Reconnecting... ]
( Something's... different about Niko. )
I'm tired...

Niko?
Huh?
Oh hey!
I got something that we should probably take a look at together.

Shall we?
