The NPC Who Got Away

Summary

Ten years ago, Declan was the one who first introduced me to story-driven RPGs.

Near the end of the game, I asked him, “I really liked the High Elf I met this morning. Why can’t I find her anymore?”

Declan stroked my hair and explained, “She was an NPC who gave you a quest. When the NPC’s task is over, you never see them again. Even if you found a way to glitch to her location, you wouldn’t be able to talk to her.”

“But if you really want to interact with her, you can always start the game over.”
