## Chapters

**PSYNCIN' IN THE CAPTaiN** is a dreamworld featured in *AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES*.

It is the fourteenth chapter, the fifth and final Somnium of Mizuki Route. It is a Somnium world created from Kaname Date's dream by the Psync Machine. Mizuki Okiura assisted ABIS in Psyncing with Date to wake him up from his comatose state.

## History

Mizuki entered Date's Somnium world and found that this was their home, but there was no color around it, it was all black and white. Mizuki noticed that Date was nowhere to be found, so she started exploring from the only stew that could be investigated.

### Made a stew.

Mizuki tasted this stew, and then found that Date appeared on the sofa in black and white. Mizuki tried to call Date, but he didn't respond, and then she found herself appeared in the same black and white on the chair, and Mizuki realized that this was just a reproduction of past memories: when she first came to Date's house, Date asked her to taste the stew he made.

### Got a notice.

Mizuki found that the things that could be investigated had changed, and she focused on Date's desk area. Mizuki picked up Date's Police ID and remembered throwing it out of the window one day to wake Date up. She next searched the trash can, recalling a memory of throwing the "bring you parents to school day" notice sheet from her school in the trash. On that day, Date found the notice and asked Mizuki if she told Renju and Shoko about it, and Mizuki replied that it did not matter if they didn't go to school.

### Gifted a stuffed animal.

Mizuki then investigated a speaker, and immediately recalled the memory that Date came to rescue her who was locked in it the day before, and said to herself that after seeing Date come to rescue her, tough she complained to him, but soon she felt much safer. Later, Mizuki was able to investigate the Adorabbit on another speaker, and then recalled the memory that Date showed it to Mizuki as a gift, but she thought it was ugly after that.

### Gave her the bed.

Mizuki investigated the door leading to the entrance, and recreated the memory of Date rushing to the toilet while Mizuki stayed inside. At that time, Date was about to piss his pants, and hurriedly apologized for eating Mizuki's pudding without asking.

After that, Mizuki tried to lie on the sofa, recalling that she had been sleeping on this sofa when she first came to Date's house, until one day Date heard her calling mom and daddy in her sleep. Date took Mizuki to bed, and Mizuki had chosen to sleep on that bed since then, while Date started sleeping on the sofa.

### Took notice.

Then Mizuki investigated the hanger, and remembered that one day Date joked to Mizuki and said "re-bought the extra-sweet pudding for the little babies", and then Mizuki kicked him to the ground. Next, Mizuki checked her schoolbag which appeared next to the stove, and stared at the amulet from Ikume Shrine hanging on the schoolbag. After seeing this, she recalled yesterday when she and Date came to the shrine to make a wish. On that day, Date told Mizuki that his wish was "to leave this place as soon as possible", but Mizuki learned in this Somnium that his wish was actually... "I wish that Mizuki grows up healthy and happy. " After learning the truth, tears rolled down Mizuki's face... Then she found herself in a dark space. There, Date stood on the left, and Renju and Shoko stood on the right.

Mizuki insisted on choosing to call Date, but Date rejected Mizuki's request to wake him up twice in a row, and claimed to Mizuki, "You shoudn't come to me. Go be with your parents;" "I am not what you need"... But Mizuki's parents were already dead, and calling them was obviously pointless. When Mizuki chose Date for the third time, he finally responded, expressed his thanks and and hugged Mizuki tightly.

## Name

* The name "PSYNCIN' IN THE CAPTaiN" refers to Kaname Date being referred to as the lead Psyncer and investigator in the New Cyclops Serial Killings case, as well as being the main playable character throughout most of the game.
	+ Another possible interpretation is that CAPTaiN refers to Date being the current "captain" of the body he possesses, as he is a parasite within the body of Saito Sejima.
* The name of the Somnium's achievement, "CAPTaiN: Bonds Revealed", means that through this Psync, Mizuki and Date further deepened the parent-child relationship between them, and it also expressed Date's sense of identity that he also needs Mizuki's help.
