Y'know, I used to see the world in a certain way.

This ain't the world I'm from, right? It feels a lot more like a game than anythin', so much so that I always thought of other people as NPCs—game characters. That stopped me from gettin' close to them. I thought their words and reactions were all just programmed. They didn't feel real.

I stopped havin' any sort of expectations from this world. Guess that's why I always sought out fightin' and fun—I didn't know what else to do. When I fought and got hurt, I could at least feel it. Also, bashin' heads and takin' names was excitin'! It was fun.

But then... wanna know what happened to me?

I met you.
You were so full of life. You were the only color in a world of grey.

I think that's when this world started to actually feel real, when the NPCs around me started to feel like people. Funny, isn't it? Thinkin' about it makes me smile. I hope we'll have a lot more to laugh about from here on out, too.

Honestly, I don't have a clear image of the world you want to build, but I am sure of one thing: I'll never be bored if I stay by your side.
Hope you don't mind, but you ain't ever gettin' rid of me.

You're my dear friend.
