Yep you guessed right: I feel/hope/fear that in the future the frontier between reality and games will become thinner and thinner. If a virtual world can truly make you feel everything, from emotions to touch and even pain, like the real world, then what’s the difference between the two at this point? And does it really matter anymore? To be frank I don’t know. But these are questions I hope to delve into more if I ever get the chance to continue this story. And of course, if you can’t even distinguish the two it can only get easier to get lost in a virtual reality.
I’m glad you like this chapter too! I know it’s a bit slower than the previous ones but hey, you can’t get action every chapter can you ? (Jokes aside, I’ll try to improve its pace when I’ll have the chance to edit everything at the end of the contest)
As for the edits, I’m almost surprise you didn’t catch any error before this chapter! As it is my first time writing something of this length and even more in English (am French btw), there’s bound to be some mistakes every now and then. So… sorry ? (Once again I’ll correct it when it will be possible later but thanks for pointing it out!)
Anyway, thanks for your continuous support!
as that is a real cultural and societal issue many face nowadays. And that is a really interesting interpretation of the contest theme! Your interpretation of Thanatos is also another interesting choice as the little girl seems to be personifying both life and death. Great ideas!
