[ Monika looked surprised as she returned the knife and said she was more than capable of defending herself without a knife. Did she mean martial arts or something like that? Clearly, that hadn't helped her. Or perhaps...
Perhaps she meant something more unnatural? Monika herself had once had such "powers," if they could even be called that. Just messing with the code really. Could Kiara perhaps do something similar? Or were they talking about straight-up magic? She didn't know and it didn't reassure her. More and more likely this place was indeed not real.
Everything she had seen so far seemed to hint at this being true. That was depressing... But perhaps it wouldn't be so bad so long as she was around people like Kiara. People who are themselves real. That mattered more than the world itself, right? ]
