She looked up at the sound of a familiar voice, her eyes red from crying. They only started to pour more as she laid her eyes on... Donovan and Pakuna? That's who they were, right? She'd heard Donovan's voice but he looked different. Well... so did she...

 [b]"How can they do this to us?! I... I'll never play another freaking video game again!"[/b] She shouted, shaking her head fiercely, looking akin to a lost puppy. [b]"I'm... I barely understand how to kill the pigs much less the boss!"[/b] She continued, turning her head to look at the grass. [b]"This shouldn't be real..."[/b] She mumbled, pulling at one of the blades of grass. Where was that stupid voice now? She shook her head and pulled her head into her lap. 

[b]"I just... I need time to deal with this..."[/b] She told them, unmoving. So many thoughts raced through her heads. Her family, her friends at school, her team. She was being left behind and she knew it. She had no way to change it... Except... 

Suddenly, after a few moments of silence, Rika straightened up. She looked over to Donovan and Pakuna, her red eyes fierce and red hot. [b]"Help me. Help me beat this game."[/b] She asked them, her determination strong. She wasn't going to let this game decide her fate for her. It red her nerves and her muscle movements? Fine. She'd use them. [b]"Tomorrow, let's go see this Boss."[/b] She told them, looking up at them. [b]"I don't think I'm ready to give up just yet."[/b] She continued. 

She stood slowly, her legs just a little bit shaky and turned to them. She held out her shaking hands towards them, putting on the best smile she could managed. [b]"Ne?"[/b] She chirped, her voice just a bit too high pitched.
