"It's not pathetic..."

Selena gasped. She was caught off-guard by the new voice that had joined the conversation she thought was private. She looked to where the voice came from and found a beautiful white-haired lady staring passionately at her. She looked like she was about to cry and her voice shook as she continued to talk to her.

"I don't know what's waiting for you on the outside, but I won't believe that any of the time I spent here wasn't worth it. I met my husband here. Some of my most treasured memories are here! It's the same for you, isn't it? At what age does cherishing the things important to you become pathetic? I'd rather- I'm sorry. Please excuse me, I said too much."

She abruptly stopped herself, then bowed as she left the two.

[color=pink]"Oh, please, don't leave!"[/color] Selena shouted to her as she raised from her seat, chasing after the lady. [color=pink]"I didn't mean to insult your memories!"[/color] She then grabbed her hands with her own before continuing. [color=pink]"I... I am merely talking about myself. I played this whole game as an escape from my real life. I... didn't really have anything out there."[/color] She then looked up at the lady's face. [color=pink]"You said you met your husband here. That's wonderful!"[/color] Selena smiled. [color=pink]"I myself am still unmarried so I wouldn't really know how that feels, but I imagine it must be a really wonderful thing."[/color] Her smile turned slightly painful at her second statement. She was not prideful at all at the fact that she was still single in her thirties.

Selena then released the lady's hands, putting her own hands in front of her dress.

[color=pink]"I did have fun playing this game. So many memories that I wouldn't forget. And that's why... this whole shutdown... it hits me hard. I really, really wish I can continue playing this game. But it's not to be and here I am pretending to drink my problems away..."[/color] Selena paused to let out a sad laugh. [color=pink]"I'll probably going to drink in real life too after this... Probably not the best idea since I'm quite weak to alcohol..."[/color]

Once again, Selena returned to her wry smile.

[color=pink]"So, how about we spend our last moments here drinking together?"[/color] Selena gestured towards the chair she had left. [color=pink]"I would love to hear about your stories playing this game. O-oh, and of course, if you don't want to talk about it, then I can tell you mine instead."[/color]
