Komada wiped her eyes, trying to be strong, but... she didn't even care about games. However, he seemed to know well enough what he was doing and she followed after him, surprised when he took her hand. "O-okay..." As they left the plaza, she heard two boys arguing about not being a girl or something along those lines. She was a bit perplexed, but despite everything, it did make her giggle a little bit. Honestly, it served them right for lying to each other like that, she thought. Then again, she wasn't a roleplayer, so she didn't quite understand the idea of taking on the personality or appearance of somebody else as being appealing. She didn't feel reassured by his attempt at consolation, but she ran along behind him, being half-dragged by the hand. It was all so shocking that the realization of it likely wouldn't set in until everything calmed down, as Ren was even cracking a joke. She blushed and huffed.

"I thought they looked nice!" She exclaimed in offense, a hurt expression plaguing her face as they ran. There was still a constant stressful pressure in the back of her head - especially if her parents removed her NerveGear... It would kill her without her even having done anything to deserve. Then again, she expressly went against them, knowing they would not be happy she was playing games when she could be studying. Perhaps that puts her at fault all the same, she thought, hoping that she would be given a chance to atone for it. "I miss my tail..." She mumbled wistfully, "I worked so hard getting the hang of using it too."

Komada had always had quite the imagination, though she was never one to care for abandoning her life in favour of another, and learning to control something that hadn't previously been a part of her body was rather neat. But just as easily as she'd gotten it, it was gone, and much to her dismay she was now without tail. How long had they been moving for? Were they leaving the Town of Beginnings? "Onii-chan, isn't it dangerous out there now? Shouldn't we just... stay here?" She wondered aloud, positive that he knew best, but still wanting to know [i]why.[/i] She was in light leather armour with a basic, brown duster over top, flapping behind her as they moved. "What do we do next, anyway..? Ren... I'm scared... I don't know anything about this game and I've never even touched a sword, how am I supposed to survive?" Her questions, as usual, came in a torrent of discombobulated words, clearly leaving her mouth the moment they came to her head in absolute worry.
