Alrighty, then~ By the way, how long shall we make this fight last until we move on to the story portion of Jennifer x Silly? =3

Ask, and thou shalt receive. It's your turn. ^_^

(Slightly surprised you didn't have Jennifer detect the real Silly via thermal imaging, but - hey - whatever works for you~)

Technically, yes. The basic working theory behind Diamond Dust is that it's a medium for the metaphysical manipulation of energy...or, more specifically, light (although it's not strictly confined to light), which the illusions themselves are largely based on. As light is a form of energy, yes, it displaces heat, so thermal imaging would detect the decoys too. Mind you, the manipulation isn't perfect, so detection of the illusions via thermal technology is most certainly possible and plausible, but due to the general "ambiance" of Diamond Dust's area of influence (as the molecules all manipulate energy, making the area something like a thermal "fog"), as well as the nature of the illusions, it is not necessarily always easy to tell a decoy from the real deal in a fleeting glance, nevermind a combat situation.

Hopefully this explains a thing or two. But, yes, in short, by all means, go ahead and detect the real Silly with thermal imaging~ Will the real Silly Diamant please light up~ XD

Possible, but difficult; the difference would probably be notable under scrutiny due to the discrepancy in the amount of light-energy displacement, but I imagine this may be a bit difficult in a fast-paced battle. Not to mention, technically, the entire area Diamond Dust affects would have an increased thermal reading in general. Certainly doable, though~ X3

And you have post~ Ice cream is love. ^_^

That's quite fine~ ^_^

I can reliably get to the point where I could take 40 damage from Tor and still be safe to get Immortal.

Really, the hardest things you'll need to do are Sector X on each Ultimortal and Sudden Death.

You don't need zero damage, you just need less than 100. (You're not the first person I can think of who's made that mistake though)

Do you intend to try to get everything?

How much of Iji have you played? Clearly you've finished it at least once, but yeah... I've gotten every secret (including the secret secrets), so have no fear of spoiling.
