_____Waking to see herself still trapped was not enough of a shocker for Kaede, however during her slumber and rather deeper attempts to brainstorm how to get out of this trap it seemed she had done something. Eyes widened as she sat up quickly and overlooked her character model, the hair color was no longer the odd blackish red of her hair but solid black. Blinking and rubbing her eyes Kaede tried to retrace her train of actions while she was sleeping. Without luck Kaede growled and began walking around the altered copy again.
_____Stopping before the clone as she leaned forward only inches from touching noses with the copy of herself. Staring intensely before wondering something that quickly turned her face red. It was a truly curious thing to consider, not to mention impure as Kaede quickly backed away tripping on her own feet and falling over onto her butt. If they got this many details correctly, was it entirely a copy of herself, down to each feature. Shaking her head rapidly to try and stop her curiosity from winning things over. But as she set her focus back on the double it only returned with reinforcements.

”Well it IS my own body… Not to mention I have to make sure EVERY detail is right afterall… No what am I even thinking there is a line I need to draw!”
_____Kaede spoke with a faint tone until the end having to slap her cheeks to stop herself from thinking such things. Even if she wanted to double check every detail she was to embarrassed by the idea of stripping herself, even if it was a clone of herself and only she was around. For all she knew someone could be watching and what if it was genderless, she would be labeled a pervert if she ever got out. But at the same token, maybe it was the key to escaping.

”Just a quick peek… I’m sure that is fine to keep my curiosity tamed… I mean… it could also be educational to double check to see if I have any marks in places I can’t always see… ...Fine a quick peek that's it!”
_____Giving into her curiosity Kaede moved back to her copy and turned red once more. Even if she had convinced herself a peek was fine it still felt so weird for her. Sure she had seen herself naked countless times she was never the one to undress someone else and still have clothes on, or off either for the matter. Slapping her cheeks for overthinking things as she started to reach for the lose top over her double and felt her heart getting ready to shatter her ribs. Slowly pulling the lip of the clothing away to see under before quickly moving it back and rushing away covering her face.

”T..There… Now let’s get back to focusing on how to get out of here or something OTHER than checking myself out more!”
_____Taking a few extra moments of not looking at her double to relax before she turned back to the clone and walked over. Nobody who put this much work into something would leave it with zero exit, it had to be a mind game and she simply needed to think more, there was a hint already and she still needed to explore it. So far the only change happen while she was sleeping, and knowing how she had issues while sleeping maybe she did something to cause the hair color change.

”Ok, from the top and beginning, your using a Virtual reality gear, they use brain waves to allow you to do things without moving. So try thinking about a mastery page maybe?”
_____Kaede mumbled to herself as she closed her eyes and thought about how a mastery page would look. She considered the side area where she would find the ones she could pick from, beside it maybe the upper half explaining each mastery a bit and below that the ones she picked so far. A flash of light forcing her eyes open as the image showed up before her, at first she simply assumed it was her mind playing tricks, but as she thought of scrolling down to one of the mastery the image changed to match.

”Ha-ha, we are making some foot way now. Consider this a test, making the character is how you finish it and get out of here so let’s make it count!”
