10	What is known about [[http://atashi.org/ atashi.org]] is all that you want to know, if you search deep enough. Enigmatic in its layout, and sometimes even more puzzling in its contents, atashi.org is the result of a newborn growing, and discovering itself.

14	----
15	!! atashi.org provides examples of:
16	* AllJustADream - ''Trance Two: how energy stays alive''
17	* AmbiguousGender: The narrator of “how energy stays alive” constantly switches between using “he” and “she” for the second character.
18	* ArcNumber: 17, referenced in the epigraph and other places.
19	* BittersweetEnding - ''Tranche One: Lost Correspondence: fragment zero''.
20	* DyingDream - A possible interpretation for ''Tranche Three: desiderata''.
21	* FictionalDocument -
22	** ’’Lost Correspondence’’ has some of the makings of a ScrapbookStory.
23	** ’’Legal Fiction’’ is the homepage for the presumably fictional atashi foundation.
24	** ’’With Portfolio’’ lists fake addresses for the design agency summer moon
25	* GratuitousForeignLanguage - There are a variety of excerpts that are inexplicably in Japanese, Chinese, on one occasion Korean, and even an entire entry in Latin.
26	* KillItWithFire - ''Tranche Two: a momentary displacement''.
27	* MagicalRealism - ‘’Fragment Zero’’
28	* MindScrew - The entire site layout is rather disjointed and labyrinthical.
29	* MoodWhiplash - The ''Tranche Two: seasonal affective disorder'' starts off rather grim, and becomes something else at the very end.
30	* PrivatelyOwnedSociety - Perhaps implied by ''Tranche Two: west 74 / 66 east''.
31	* {{Retraux}} -
32	** “terminal five” is an apparent screenshot of a terminal emulation program.
33	** “microfiche reader” is noised to look like a bad photographic slide.
34	** “now as then” by default gives Traditional Chinese characters with complex numerals.
35	* RidiculousFutureInflation - Demonstrated in ''Tranche Two: west 74 / 66 east''.
36	* ShoutOut - There’s the expected Japanese culture items, as well a number of references to Western music.
37	* UndyingLoyalty - 0.haodao SYSTEM offers to forever promote the atashi foundation, regardless the cause.
38	* UnreliableNarrator - Referenced in the FAQ in “the thread pool”.
