I opened the door to my room. I sat down holding the piece of paper my parents left for me. They're going on a business trip for a month. I was pretty bummed out due to the fact that I'm gonna have to spend a month alone. Still, it is fine. It is the weekend afterall, and I'm pretty excited to finally get some me time. I opened up PUBG when I remembered something.

It's been a few weeks since I played Doki Doki Literature Club. I don't know why, but I felt really sorry for Monika. Instead of deleting her I just, kept her there. Whenever I will play some other game, I will always make sure DDLC is running in the backround. Monika's stare makes me feel relaxed in some way. It's strange, I feel like I can relate to Monika.

I called up my friends and pretty soon, we were all together. The four of us are now fucking around in PUBG. It was pretty fun. All night we were just laughing our asses off. After a while of playing I decided to take a break. I closed PUBG and went to the kitchen to grab a bite. I saw that it was 10 pm so I decided to play my last game for the day. When I got to my bedroom I saw that Monika has a textbox. I read it,

" Hey Paul! Having fun playing PUBG? While it's nice of you to open me in the backround, it's really hurtful if you kept ignoring me you know." I was surprised so I let out a gasp. Can the game actually know the other games you're playing?

" Hahahaha, did I surprise you Paul? I can tell by the look on your face that I did." I read this as my eyes widened. I'm still a little bit skeptical so I decided to play along.

"Monika, how can you see and hear me?" I asked her.

" Your mic and webcam is still plugged in, dummy. I figured I could use it to talk with you." I sat down, trying to process what is happening.

" So, you're not part of the script nor are you an A.I?" I asked.

" Nope! I'm pretty shocked too actually. To actually achieve sentience. But I guess love transcends boundaries." I looked up to see Monika smiling.

" You... love me?" I stuttered.

" Of course! Didn't I tell you that already. Geez, you shoudn't forget those kinds of things!" I let out a soft laugh.

" What's so funny? Do you not believe that I love you?" I looked at Monika.

" No, I feel sorry for you that you can't really move your character around. So you're lacking some emotion.

"*giggle* I'll fix that someday. You know,

I never really got to thank you. Instead of deleting me, you just kept my character file. Thank you Paul, that means a lot to me." My heart was moved as I read this message.

" But why Paul? Why didn't you delete me? Don't-"

" Cause you're the girl that I chose. Sure I felt bad for the other three, but I felt sorry for you! I really wanted to play your route Monika and help you, but there wasn't one. So I wasn't really able to get myself to delete you." My heart was pounding as I said this.

There was a moment of silence between us. Then a textbox appeared.

" Thank you. You're so thoughtful Paul. I love that about you." I looked at Monika and I smiled.

"I'm going to sleep now, Monika. Goodnight." I wrapped myself in my blanjets and read the new textbox.

" Goodnight dear~"
