I can't say for certain.

Even if I was, I'd at least have a name that everyone knew me by... and it would be a little confusing considering I was going to school if we all lacked one.

We simply thought of the world as reality, rather than it being virtual.

[fleshedout]

I suppose it would be easier to trap someone in a reality that's close to what they know. Convince them that's where they always belonged...

[thinking emoji....]

Did you find out if the real world was like the virtual one, then? Were they really similar?

[classmate]

Oh, they were basically carbon copies of one another --

There were a few differences, though, once I realized we weren't in the real world... mainly that everything was much more colorful.

[fleshedout]

Huh. Especially with a world like this, with no color...I wonder why that was.

[classmate]

It could be possible that… we brought the absence of color, right? So maybe with finding a way home it’ll come back?

[fleshedout]

This "prism" seems to have reacted to us, yes, but...

[Hmm.]

Are you saying this place just can't handle us, then?

[classmate]

It's just a possibility.

[ She sighs. ]

But that's enough "what if's" for today. Anymore and my head will start spinning.

[fleshedout]

..Yeah. Best not to push yourself too much. We still have time to figure things out.
