**One Kick Girl — Chapter 199:
"Part 2 (Even Deeper)"**
Context recursion • Slide necromancy • Raon vs the return of the dead deck
1. The Deck Rises Again
The call opened.
Same deck.
New date.
Slide 1.
Raon's soul left her body.
"…They didn't change anything."
Shion nodded. "The dead rarely do."
2. The Presenter Apologizes
"Sorry for the long session last time."
Raon leaned forward.
"Then why are we here."
Shion whispered, "Closure theater."
3. The Speed Run Lie
"We'll go faster today."
They did not.
They added notes.
4. Slide 12 Returns
The cursed diagram reappeared.
"With some updates," the presenter said.
Raon squinted.
"That arrow moved."
"Yes," Shion replied. "Symbolically."
5. Questions Create New Branches
Each question birthed three more slides.
Raon counted.
The slide number climbed past 80.
"This is breeding."
Shion: "Uncontrolled."
6. The Realization
Raon whispered, "They don't want answers."
Shion nodded. "They want permission to not decide."
7. Someone Mentions Action
A brave soul said, "So should we pick one option?"
The room froze.
The presenter coughed.
"…That might be premature."
Raon laughed.
8. Shion Deploys the Knife
Shion unmuted.
"What specific decision requires this deck?"
Silence.
A long one.
The presenter blinked.
"…Alignment?"
Shion smiled politely.
"On what outcome."
9. The Truth Slips Out
"Well—more thinking is needed."
Raon slapped the desk.
"So this is stalling."
No one denied it.
10. The End Without End
"We'll capture feedback asynchronously," the presenter said.
Raon whispered, "Which means email."
Shion nodded grimly.
11. Aftermath
The call ended.
Raon stared into space.
"I survived."
Shion corrected her. "You endured."
12. Final Sting
An email arrived.
Subject:
Thoughts After Deep Dive
Raon screamed into a pillow.
Shion stood.
"Welcome to the long tail."
