It looks like I have to find you again... Ryou shakes his head and focuses on the question at hand. "No, the game itself does nothing to our minds as far as I know. Things that exist within the game, things that most people are not aware of, like AIDA, or Tri-Edge, or even Epitaphs are capable of affecting our minds. AIDA-infected PCs who PK other PCs turn their players into Lost Ones, and are the primary source of Doll Syndrome. But that isn't the extent of how AIDA could affect other people."

He leans back into his seat. "As an example, the AIDA that stole your Epitaph was able to use it to create a Mirror Server of Mac Anu, and everyone who was logged into the Delta Server at the time had their minds brought into the game. No one could log out. When we resolved the situation, we learned that what we thought took hours to deal with took all of a few minutes of time in real life."
