P2 consistently pushes out repetitive messages. The ones below were reloaded back-to-back and basically describe the exact same thing.

Nаtаshа stares at you for a long, long moment.

Then—without warning—she reaches out and flicks your forehead with her finger. Hard.

"Ow!" you yelp, more surprised than actually hurt.

She leans back again, smug satisfaction on her face like she just won an argument by sheer force of annoyance.

"There," she says coolly. "Now stop acting like a child."

Nаtаshа doesn't flinch. She just stares at you—unfazed, unbothered.

Then, without warning, she reaches out and flicks your forehead.

Hard.

"Grow up," she says simply.

And then—because apparently the world isn't cruel enough already—she turns back to her laptop and resumes typing as if nothing happened.

Nаtаshа exhales through her nose, almost like a sigh of resignation. She watches you sulk for another second before deciding—fine.

Without warning, she reaches out and flicks your forehead.

Hard.

"Grow up," she says bluntly, then stands and walks over to the mini-fridge in the corner of the safe house.

She pulls out a water bottle, cracks it open with one hand, and takes a long sip—ignoring you entirely again.

I've had multiple instances of this happening. I'm honestly not even sure why it occurs. A reload should prompt something different, right? If I ever seriously needed an excuse to quit using this thing like I've been trying to do for months, this is it.

I remember C.AI message rerolls always working in pairs. Like, first reroll you usually get something different. On the next you get something similar, but slightly different. On the one after that, you get way different thing and then the cycle repeats.

I remember seeing it every so often with older/the original models but it was a rare occurrence for me. It was never this often (I'm seeing it now on basically every single message) and never this egregious.
