An NPC's Reality

        “What do you think is next for us?” I asked the guys as we all headed outside.


	“I’m not sure. Everything has been so tense and confusing so maybe we need to slow down and listen to ourselves for once.” Matt suggested as we began walking down the sidewalk towards the beach.

	“There’s got to be more for us than this. We can’t just keep moving without asking questions. I think it might be time to stop in our tracks and figure out what we want as individuals and then come back together if it feels right.” Grayson said as we all sat down in the sand.


	“I’m not used to you being so serious, Grayson. Do you mean we should split up?” I asked him.
