[F22-PP] What We’ve Held Close <<What We Fight For>>

[Kataware 0]

Although Kataware was stuck in this virtual reality, she figured that she needed to continue her monthly session of relaxation, which was not so difficult on Floor 22. With the mostly non-aggressive forest animals, Kataware decided to relax in the middle of the wilderness hoping that no player nor NPC would find her. However, her trek to find the perfect spot to relax was less than perfect. She had debated on whether to climb one of the thousands of trees that littered this Floor and simply rest on one of the branches, or whether to find a clearing within the forest. Figuring that she’d sooner or later fall asleep, she decided against relaxing on a branch as she was afraid of falling and making some non-aggresive forest animal become her death. After all, she hasn’t made too much progress.

However, walking through the forest was easier said than done, let alone finding a clearing. Her plain attire, consisting of a plain white T-Shirt, pair of jeans, and green baseball cap, was not the best for hiking through the woods. On top of which, she found her trademarked ponytail, which was through the back opening of the baseball cap, get caught on the branches too many times. Are there even any clearings out here?

After a while, she realized she had made a mistake. She realized that she may have strayed a bit too far away from any of the established trails. She looked around, only finding the trees that made up this forest, which never seemed this dense. This isn’t good. Kataware did the only thing she could think of at that immediate moment. Screaming at the top of her lungs. “Hello, is there anyone there?”
