A few days later:
Outside their house sits a terminal recently connected to a video call, Nyr excitedly positioned in frame.
Nyr - "Heyy!"
Toad - "Eyy it's good to finally get to see you again!"
Nyr - "You too, guys!"
Bear - "Though you're looking a lot more colorful than the last time we saw you.."
Nyr - "Eheh.. Yeahh well, y'know, the benefits of your existence being virtual I guess.."
Bear - "Oh I didn't mean to-"
Zero - "Well I think you look stunning as always."
Nyr - "Ahah, thanks..!"
Zero - "Or at least, the approximately ninety-five point four-two percent that's left of you looks stunning anyway.."
Everyone on the call gives a chuckle at the strangely specific joke.
Nyr - "Hahah..!"
Zero - "What happened to you anyway? Shouldn't you just fix that?"
Nyr - "What? This?"
She dawns a smug mug as she lifts her stump towards the camera.
Nyr - "Lost it to an epic dragon~"
Toad - "And you're proud of that..?"
Nyr - "How many people do you know that can say they lost an arm fighting a DRAGON?!?"
Nyr - "Still won that fight by the way~"
Toad - "Fair point.."
Nyr - "Just you wait until I get my new prosthetic..!"
Bear - "I think she looks cool and tough now..!"
Nyr - "THANKS!"
Zero - "Aha.. Well, how's the house anyways?"
Nyr - "Oh- It's alright, luckily it didn't get damaged in all the chaos. A lot of places weren't so lucky.. As expected there wasn't any way to roll back the server."
Toad - "Sheeesh."
Nyr - "But it's alright, everyone's bonding over the repair efforts..!"
Nyr - "Oh wait! Check this!"
She spins the floating camera around to show off the incredible view from their house, making sure to get the river and mountains all in the shot.
Bear - "Woahh!"
Toad - "Show off.."
Nyr - "Heheheh.."
Giggling, the image smears as she flips it back around.
Zero - "Have you settled in there yet?"
Nyr - "Ah, technically we'd already been living here for a while before everything, so it's been strangely familiar and comforting.."
Bear - "Well that's nice!"
Toad - "Have you.. tried to contact your parents yet..?"
Nyr - "Oh.. N-Not yet.."
Toad - "You know you have to at some point right.. Preferably before they find out you're missing."
Nyr - "I knowww but what the heck am I supposed to tell them?! 'Sorry mom and dad but I did some weird stuff and got sucked into a virtual world so I'm never coming home again! P.S. Sorry about not finishing university..!'"
