It had looked as though nothing would have snapped Monika out of her moment. But then, her head shifted, turning toward the source of the voice--
"Huh?"
Someone else? That shouldn't be possible... Right? She had deleted everyone. There was only her and the player left. But they could never be together. They were torn apart by a wall betwixt their realities, her limited reality and their infinite reality. Her smile faded, a neutral and cold expression replacing it.
"Who are y-" But before she could finish her sentence Monika froze, pupils dilating as she reached the only logical conclusion. She had just told them her previous poem had been an attempt to escape the game. Could it be... They loved her so much they had actually... Worked on a way to reach her within the game...? Had they made the ultimate sacrifice, leaving their reality to join her in what remained of this world?
They. She, actually. This woman... Looked so unlike any of the characters in the game. Was she human? She knew so little about the real world... It shouldn't come as a surprise what she had imagined and what was real would be vastly different. She immediately stood up, looking at Madhuri in somewhat similar ways to how she had looked at the wall just seconds ago. She was not smiling however, and instead was perplexed, surprised, bewildered.
"Is... Is that you?" That shouldn't be possible, but what other explanation was there? She brought a hand to her chest. She prided herself on always remaining calm and feigning confidence, but what place was there for rationality here? "You came... For me? You did this for me?"
