"Be a little quieter, kids."

I hushed the children who were
playing in the hospital hallways.

Subtly my phone vibrated in my pocket
telling me my health bar was running low.

But I ignored it in favour
of the children.

They made faces at me and
rolled their eyes,
then ran off to continue 
their noisy game.

I closed my fist around my shirt,
and tried not to lose my temper.

I'm going to lose another life.

I'm going to--

"Guys, she's giving us a really scary look,"
one of them said, not so quietly.

"Yuck, let's go somewhere else, then."

And then I saw Leon,
Uncle Noel's little boy,
in the crowd.

"Let's go play outside, then."

He's smiling, 
but not as brightly.

When they left,
I had a quarter of my HP left.

So I used a Potion,
and breathed a sigh of relief.

I never was one to enforce
a lot of rules on others.

This really wasn't
a job suited for me.

『 CYBER-SURFER 』
is near you! 

『 Challenge to a PvP? 』
YES ⋆        NO

I flinched and quickly,
pressed NO.

But the instant I did--

『 CYBER-SURFER 』
has challenged you to a PvP!

And somehow, I realized--

Perhaps Cyber-Surfer,
like Dream-Eater,
is suffering so much,
they've lost their minds.
