A gender-neutral Y/N is an introverted solo player who spends almost every moment they can grinding in the Fields of Aincrad.
Y/N find themselves distancing further from the people they say they're fighting to free; but what happens when those peopl...
Philia had seemingly clued in to the fact that something had been troubling me, I guess I never really was one to be that good at hiding my discomforts. I never really needed to after all... since Kureha moved to another country, I never really hung around other people, choosing instead to just stay in my room alone.
And Philia gave no quarter; she pulled us both away from our clearing effort of the Hollow Area, of trying to find a Karma-Restoration Quest for her. Instead she would rather take me back to the Administration Area to talk about it.
... I hate talking.

Philia: "Soooo... are you just going to tell me, or do I need to pull it out of you?"
Y/N: "w-Well I mean, i-it really isn't anything, please uh- please don't worry about it..."
Philia: "It's too late for that! I'm definitely worried about it, worried about you!"
Y/N: ". . ."
Philia: "You know I'm not going to let this go, right? I'm way too stubborn for that!"
Y/N: "Heh, don't I know it!"
Philia: "Hey! You weren't meant to agree with me! Haha!"
Y/N: "aha..."
Philia: "Anyways! Enough about me, we're meant to be talking about you! What is up with you?!"
Y/N: "Seriously, it's nothing! Please, don't worry about it!"
Philia: "Look. I know that you've been trying really hard out here for my sake, and I really appreciate that... but if you don't tell me what's eating away at you then I'm not going to spend another day out there in the Hollow Area!"
Y/N: "! You can't be serious?! You can't do that!"
Philia: "I can! Because there's no way I can focus out there when I know that there is something eating away at you! That's just asking for something to go wrong!"
Y/N: "..."
Philia: "So, are we going to talk about what it is that's bugging you... or are we just going to sit right here until the guys in Aincrad clear Floor 100?!"
Y/N: "sigh I... do I really have to? Can't I just-"
Philia: "-No, you can't just bottle it up like you normally do!"
Y/N: "h-How did you know that's what I was going to say?"
Philia: "Come on! We've known each other for a good couple years now, and you've been by my side in this Hollow Area for a long while now. It would be pretty lame of me if I didn't! So... go on, spill!"
