I finally managed to watch the Time Shift. It was interesting to hear various behind-the-scene stories. I saw someone was asking exactly the same question I wrote before. I was impressed with Tsuchiya-san's attitude which he has kept to talk with users sincerely since Ar tonelico. I'd choose the same answer to the question if I could choose the critical selection one more time, as many other players did. I think this is not just a question of a level that if I just want to see a different outcome as a video game. (I'm surely interested in it, though.)
今の展開だと千羽鶴ちゃんがかなり優遇されている感じですが、音羽さんや神楽ちゃんにひどいことをしたのは事実だし、彼女たちが千羽鶴ちゃんを憎むのは当然だと思います。（個人的にこれがすごく凶悪だと思いました。特別な悪意でやってるのではないところがさらに…。）むしろその償いをするためにも、千羽鶴ちゃんは生きるべきだと考えます。プレイヤーの存在意義は、そこにもあるのではないでしょうか。
As the story goes so far, Chiharu seems to be given preferential treatment in the app, but it is true she treated Otowa and Kagura cruelly, and it's natural they hate Chiharu. (Personally, I thought the scene below was extremely evil, even more for the fact she didn't intend to be specially malicious.) To rather expiate what she did, I think she should live. I suppose that's one of the meanings of player's existence.

Chiharu: I needed time to let you like Tsubame Ohse. |
しかし神楽ちゃんのチャンネル開通がまだ１ヶ月以上先となると、その前にいろいろやらなくてはいけないようですね。（エリカさんもお疲れ様。）最後まで乗り越えたら、もうED絵の中に飛び込んでも許される気がする…！
Anyway, there seems to be many jobs to do before Kagura Channel opens since it will be more than one month ahead. (Thanks for your hard work, Erika.) Once I get over all of this to the end, I believe I'd be allowed to jump in the picture of ending song...!
