Frey, witnessing this raw display of vulnerability from her master, felt a pang of heartache. The man who had brought her to this world, who had always been strong and reckless, was now... crying? She couldn't find the words to comfort him, so she simply watched, a warm smile gracing her lips.
"I thought this game, this fantasy world, would be cool, like in the manga... I thought it'd be fun, exciting... but why... why am I..." Alex's voice trailed off, the words caught in his throat.
"...Feeling... so... useless..." Alex finally managed to say, his voice choked with emotion. The reality of the situation, the weight of his perceived failures, threatened to crush his spirit.
