An NPC's Reality

       “What the hell is that supposed to mean? How could we possibly just go home? If they are that powerful then why not just rest us or get rid of us. They’re afraid of something.” Matt said after we sat in silence for a moment. 


	“I can’t believe that we broke out of routine and noticed those weird things happening in San Francisco for nothing. If it’s not because of the creator then it has to be for another reason. Regardless, we have to continue. It’s probably gonna get dark and difficult, but what’s the fun in living easy, right?” Grayson said.

And they don’t want us to be able to figure it out since we can see things differently from players. We have an internal advantage while they have an external advantage. I’m not sure what my point is.” I responded.
