Naoto's Heart

You find yourself falling through a black abyss, the air cold around you, although not bitingly so. Just as your eyes begin to adjust to the darkness on every side, you're dropped through a chute and tossed out into a brightly-lit area...

The safe is sitting in the corner of the classroom near the chalkboard, black and fairly small. Instead of a padlock or a keypad, there’s a touchscreen.

[bending to TOUCH... THE SCREEN experimentally]

The touchscreen lights up when you touch it. Some letters appear, as well as a small virtual keyboard.

RBFQTBDJJILAIBDQLMRYIREIILKIR

[...blinks]

An anagram...? Some sort of encryption??

[experimentally hitting "R"]

It makes an error noise.

[...what if I hit "I"??]

Another error noise.

[...trying all the letters on the screen in succession

BRUTE FORCE!!1]

T works!

[...welp]

It is odd that there are two Q's without any U's...

It's... some kind of code?

It accepted "T", so what do you think?

[types "TRY"......]

Error noise.

I'm not sure this sort of thing is really my forte...

I know that I must have solved things like this before...!!

[what about "TEAM"]

ERROR NOISE.

...This is hopeless trial and error...!! Surely there must be a hint somewhere.

Along with an arm and an anatomical reference...!

I don't think there's anything else here... Do you want to keep looking elsewhere?

...Fine! Very well...! Surely she intends for this to be secret!!

..."The" or "think"? There's only so many things that can come after T, right...? If it's supposed to be words.

If it's an anagram there isn't an "H"... But if it's an anagram, like I said, there isn't a "U"...

[types those things anyway]

T and H work, but U does not.

[stop taunting me with your working buttons]

Ooh...

:)

Well, we can't keep guessing. Maybe Tools will have something.
