From this point on, it would require the writer to have read a certain amount of books, real life experience as well as practice thinking to a comfortable degree. At this level, the reader is no longer told what to feel, but rather left to themselves to figure out and convey the meaning behind: 

EG: TGCL ch 13

"But that was really close..." Enju laughed anxiously, while she scratched the back of her head frantically. "Because I am AI, even if I report him, I will be the one to be exposed first! Hahaha..."

"And that means..." A concern grew over my voice.

"I will be banished from the game, and I won't be able to play with master anymore."

"Then why did you take the risk?..."

"I did it for you master!"

Sometimes I really doubt if she's actually an AI, and even though really I don't want to admit, but throughout my entire life, the being who showed me the most emotion throughout the years was none other then Enju.

"Enju..." I clenched my fist.

"Yes master?"

"Don't call me master. I am not good enough to be your master...I am poor, I am weak, and I don't have a single friend..."

"I know." Enju said.

"Then why-"

"I love you master."

Silence.

Here at this first underline dialogue, is how Riga views himself, expressed through words. From those words you can tell he has a low self-esteem, as well as a sense of self-incompetence. And can also be a form of Riga pushing Enju away, as it happens to people pushing away their loved ones at their darkest moments, perhaps not wanting to effect or bother them.

Here at the second underline dialogue one of most famous line in TGCL, Enju expresses her feelings towards Riga. I am not going to describe what love is, as the word its self is just indescribable by mere words. 

Here at the third underline of a single word. This word could mean a whole bunch of things. It could be shock? Happiness? Deep thinking? or all of them. But what is certain is, what's going through their minds at that moment will forever remain a mystery...
