>>57366740I'm imagining him growing despondent and reclusive, knowing that he doesn't have to eat so he hides away in his room, hoping that maybe if he stays there long enough he can forget what he learned.
I doubt it'd be the knowledge that he's in a JRPG monster catcher, so much as he knows he's but code on a console.
The first time you appear, he'd probably try to not talk when prompted, just looking away or in a random direction, hoping that (you) will see. Games have players, and what kind of person would play a game that seemingly revolves around his misery and his failures?
When he finally does speak again, he'd likely say, "I know you're not real," real hesitant-like since, for all he knows, anyone could be his universe's player. Just his luck, then, that (you) are the one who was forced to drag him through his darkest times.
Perhaps the League members and Carmine will show concern for him. After all, they were made to be his peers.
imagine trying to communicate with him meaningfully, but all (you) have are either snarky, meaningless options or a yes/no button
