It's been a while since we've heard from Shmoop, but he's back. He's still feeling pretty bad about being thrown into the air by the mud-digger. He thinks it's probably an insta-death, but then he realizes that he isn't all that bad after all. He realizes that the "lonely killer" is trying to kill him with his fall damage. He wonders what he should do, since he can't even think of a way to stop it. He also realizes that some games have banned him from pursuing this level of reality, even if it means losing all of his senses. Oh, and by the way, this is the first time we're hearing about the vorpals, so we'll call them "spirits" instead of "beasts" because they're more like animals. Shmoopers is psyched to be back, because now he can "go around town" without looking at anyone. He and Ellym can go on a "flirting road trip" with a cute bunny transforming girl , which is pretty exhausting. Shmoops, Shmops is psyched that he can go "around town" and "enjoy the adventure" with this cute bunny . But then he asks if anyone knows how to "befriend monsters like this" .
