Not necessarily. You're assuming that she'd die from Tief Blau before she'd become an immortal from Cure. While I'm inclined to roll with you on that assumption, I'm just sayin' that with KID you can never be too sure. They argue some pretty crazy bullshit. Which, if you read my posts after I beat the game, you'll see really irritated me. XD

How would she become an immortal from Cure? She had to receive the antibodies from Tsugumi first, right? I thought the others couldn't give her the injection before they escaped since she was still in the pod for treatment, and Takeshi gave it to her after he came back.

With KID? I wouldn't put anything past them. Forgive me, my memory of the game's not as sharp as yours is right now. I forgot that Coco had not received the improperly-made antiserum since she had been placed in the hyperbaric chamber posthaste.
Maybe Coco transcends time, too. After all, we see in Path 5 that she appears to Blick (inside of Hokuto's body) in some sort of spirit form or astrally-projected form. Perhaps the life form reading is of Coco just leading up to the moment of her would-be death, and it shows up at any and all times because of temporal anomalies.

I have this game. I installed it on my old desktop that died a little over a year ago. I never installed it on my laptop.
So someone convince me as to why I play this game instead of Fallout New Vegas. lol. |

This game'll make your head spin. Fallout New Vegas'll make your NPCs' heads spin.

Oh man, I was watching NatGeo and saw this by chance as I went into the dining room to eat my food. 7-10 years the narrator said! Just in time for Ever17!
It seems like just fantasy though, I don't know enough of the show to know if this is serious introspection or just speculation.

I'm bumping this because THIS IS THE WEEK COMRADES! LEMU IS CURRENTLY FLOODED.
Ever17 came out in 2002, and was pretty speculative about the future, but in a near-future sense, much like The Martian. However, it was forecasting far more bold innovations and further in the future than Weir's novel. How far have we come? 1. Terabyte discs They exist! Ever17 did not imagine that flash memory would eventually replace optical discs, reaching the 1 TB threshold far earlier than the descendants of the CD-ROM, but that doesn't mean it wasn't possible. TB opticals were still speculative as of 2015 but they're out now. Just in time! 2. The 2010 Clone Law No international laws or guidelines were proposed in 2010, but cloning as depicted in Ever17 is possible. It hasn't happened with humans, but it's a proven process with animals. So certain scenes plot lines would have happened anyway regardless of their legality. 3. Underwater theme parks Proposed but not constructed yet. It's 3 years too early for undersea adventures, and the real thing will be considerably more picturesque than LeMU (which was basically built out in the middle of the ocean). 4. Artificial intelligence It's the talk of the town but nothing as intelligent as Sora, with a human-like personality, exists currently. 5. Tief blau Ever17s tief blau was basically a viral version of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Because it was a virus, it replicated much faster and was easier to transmit (due to higher viral load via exhalation) than the bacterial version. In an ironic twist, I grew up to work in clinical laboratories where we'd isolate/culture/identify infectious agents like this, so I'm fairly up to date. Though healthcare has seen new viruses over the years (notably Zika recently) nothing like Tief blau has emerged. You could probably imitate its epidemiological payloads, though, by reintroducing smallpox. 6. Biological immortality It exists, but Tsugumi's form is still unattainable as of yet. Tsugumi was not only immortal, but invulnerable, and she did not age after having reached adolescence. Her case was a result of cancer. Humans who never age, a genetic disease termed Syndrome X, occurs, but it does not confer the advantages of eternal youth as depicted. The bowhead whale and greenland shark are among the longest lived of vertebrates, due to what appears to be a rigorous anti-cancer mechanism. For the bowhead whale, it has duplicate sets of anti-cancer genes which, along with its lack of predators, are believed to what allow it to live out longer than other whales. For the greenland shark, its low metabolism is believed to be the source of its longevity. Caloric restriction has a notable positive correlation with maximum age span, which is related to methionine metabolism. In fact, if you simply limit your methionine consumption overall, you will experience effects similar to overall caloric restriction. Caloric restriction is an indirect method of limiting methionine metabolism. True biological immortality occurs in jellyfish, but it also involves a life cycle change, rather than simply reaching your peak and not dying. Nothing living is invulnerable. 7. The Third Eye This was occult even in the world of Ever17 with a tenuous connection to general relativity, but unless any psychics in the audience (Koizumi?) want to chip in, I don't think anyone has solved how to telepathically communicate with folks from other worlds. THAT SAID, it seems like "isekai" fiction is at an all-time high of popularity right now, so perhaps we're being visited without knowing it?

Feels almost ironic that Nyaa was just wiped, being a major source for this stellar game. (Never torrented so it doesn't affect me personally, but farewell to an era I suppose.)
P.S. Obligatory.
