Have you ever wondered 'what if'?

I'm afraid you'll have to be more specific than that.

Sometimes. I can name a few particular moments.

I decided to instead of thinking "what if" I would take the chance.

So in hindsight? I can't say that I've done that much. I used to be pretty content with my decisions.

I had a wake-up call recently. It has changed my view on a lot of things.

I used to spend all my time in OASIS, only logging off for food. Not really living IRL. Then a bunch of stuff happened and yeah I take a lot more time off now. Work on stuff that does matter y'know?

The OASIS is far from boring. You can be anyone and anything. Do whatever you want in a virtual reality. It's what keeps a great majority of people occupied during the days. Reality is too harsh after all the crises in the last few years... But I'm going off on a tangent. OASIS isn't boring, but it's an escape. I try to live in reality more now. Cos that's what really matters really. Not how much coins you got in VR.

It's fun? It's a challenge. It's also much better than reality.

You'll have to experience it to understand it. I could get you a full-body suit. You'll feel every punch and touch with that thing on.

Yes, but you can't ride on top of mechagodzilla fighting King Kong in an exclusive resort on the planet Eo in real life, though can you. Also if you die in game, you only respawn. Not actually dying. You would lose all your stuff though.

Then, yes. I have wondered.

[ she cants her head, curious. ]

Why is this important to you?

No, not without reason.

Fine.

[ a beat, then: ]

I wonder about the choices I have made and the ones that I didn't, and I wonder about the choices that were taken from me.
