"Hey."

Ren shifted his attention to Roni, who appeared out of nowhere. The man smiled, but his eyes were squinting in scrutiny.

"Are you really an NPC?" he asked with a tilt of his head.

Ren decided to ignore him, but the man was adamant about ruining his day.

"I've known someone with the same name as you," Roni continued when Ren was silent. "He was a player, though."

When Ren was quiet still, Roni persisted in his one-sided conversation. "To be honest, I thought he was you because you have the same height, build, and voice. But I guess that's impossible since I heard that guy isn't logging in to the game for a month now."

Roni stifled a laughed, and Ren had to fist his hands to hold himself back at Roni's next words.
