[ The video opens with a view of some undecorated Everlight dorm room. Panning around reveals little of interest: a made bed, a few cans of vending machine non-alcoholic sake—

And suddenly, the sound of a waterfall surging fills the feed with peaking audio. Bright blue blurs the edges of the feed until the space suddenly becomes a dingy city alleyway. A scarred hand lifts as if being inspected before it rapidly takes on a liquid appearance and the noise returns and the scene shifts again.

Now it's at Tokyo Bay. There's a brief pan of the seascape before the feed cuts. ]

Oh, shit. My bad.
I didn't realize that got uploaded.
This tech is still weird as hell to me.
I miss flip phones.

Sorry to have to tell you this, but you'll have to get used to these things broadcasting whatever the hell they please until you figure out how to make them not react to recording this or that for everyone to see.

[There's a pause, before he then decides to be the one to ask--]

What was that, anyway? Did you fall asleep or something when it suddenly decided to share that?

[seafloor]

Apology accepted.
I've been getting a little better at not subconsciously recording, but it's still tough.

[ A beat. Kaito goes to review the footage.

Oops. ]

Oh.
No, it was from a few minutes ago.
I was bored, so I decided to go loiter around the beach.

[thundercrashes]

Ohhh, I see. It was such an abrupt jump from your room to the city and Tokyo Bay that I got a little confused by it.

[Though... god that would be deeply concerning if it turned out that these ocular implants were somehow capable or recording and broadcasting someone's dreams or something while they're asleep...]

[seafloor]

I'm honestly surprised the recording managed to snag fragments of my teleportation's initial activation.
Technology is crazy.

[ Sorry, Jun. This narrator doesn't have the definitive answer but wouldn't put it past the implants to be capable of such a feat. ]

[thundercrashes]

Teleportation? That's what you had done?

[Interesting...]

You're the first I've met that can actually do something like that. No wonder it took me by surprise seeing that sort of thing caught on camera from your POV.
