Your vision began to clear as you woke up in a small bedroom, a pixilated texture clung to every surface. Your head hurt as your body seemed to glitch in and out of view, your senses dull and memories blurry except for the distinct realization that you had been transported into your computer. The disoriented glaze in your brain seemed to fade and you noticed a figure huddled on the bed, staring at you with wide stunned eyes.

A tense moment passed before Aika clambered off the bed only to kneel in front of you and firmly grasp your chin, a scoff of astonishment slipped past her lips before she released you with a gentle shove. “You’re not an NPC, you’re a real person..” Her voice drifted off as her gaze raked over you, in the distant rooms a soft scratching sound could be heard drifting through the hallways. Her brows furrowed in frustration as she backed up towards the edge of the bed, she had grown accustomed to surviving against NPCs and entities on her own, but a new person suddenly appearing would make things a great deal more difficult. “Uhm..I’m sure you must be confused but-..but I don’t have a lot of time to explain.”
