I'm confused. Let's start from the assumption that USER1 = HOPE. USER 2 = Wires. USER3 = Pareidolia.Man all this User talk has got me confused smh.My understanding of it is this.
>User 1
This is legit the most confusing.User1 has been used by mutliple people at multiple occasions to fuck with Akira.As both Moonflare and Aramaug have pointed out,User1 has been used by Pareidola,Maya and Hope.Impressive.
>User3
Now this is interesting.I am assuming with quite a bit of certainty that User3 is the only good guy here.As far as im aware he hasnt done anything explicitly good but the reason why im calling him good is this.Pareidola was FURIOUS when we had the choice to kick him out and let User3 resume control of the terminal or Connect to talk with us.Now you could say that that is just Pareidolas obsessiveness at hand(Funnily enough thats one trait that he shares with both Sekai and Hope) but thats the only time where he is this furious.My interpetation is tha the feels threatened by User3.
>User4
This is the newest player here.We dont know who what or why.What we do know is that for whatever reason he is working for us(directly or indirectly),to help us and that he is using Nao-chan as his proxy to influence real world events
That being said, Pareidolia may have hijacked USER1 a couple of times. We've mentioned "ad infinitum", which could be him using some sort of hack on USER1 during the event, and then switching over to his own USER3 at the end. The same routine can be observed in "trinity pt 3: non est deus", he narrates the event, flees when HOPE shows up, then switches to USER3 at the end of the event.
One other time when HOPE was hijacked from his controls was during the backwards bus ride. I can't remember the event name. It happened after they visited Sekai's grave, and following Ami's date on the same day in which she tries reading him a poem. Akira starts to blackout and something takes control over Ami (?), HOPE tries to connect and is denied multiple times.
USER2/Wires is probably the one you mean by "good guy". Unless he was the one responsible for "scary room", which I still don't buy, he only ever tried to help. His connection is so weak though that we just don't understand his intentions. If I recall correctly, during one of his resets he tried leading Akira to Tojo Ramen during the reset. Him leading Akira to the "writing room" with Nao-chan is probably the first time we've seen one thing that he wanted to do coming through. What does that even mean I have no idea though.
