[Shinji is walking around hysterically babbling to himself.]

Log out, log out, forced shut down, it isn't working but that doesn't mean anything, there's no way I'd actually have been supposed to die there, right? You never actually die in virtual realities, no one would actually kill me if I lost to a random encounter, just because she said all that - who does she think she is - just because I don't have a Servant anymore, there's no way, I'm going to be able to get out as soon as -

[Mid-rant, Shinji passes by one Ryudo Issei, who greets him.]

Welcome back. Congratulations on your victory. [Issei continues in the exact same tone of voice, without anything changing in his facial expression.] Master identified as Matou Shinji. Master's loss in round one determined. Master should not be here, Master is an anomaly. Matou Shinji is STRAY DATA. NPC identified as Ryudo Issei is not authorized to delete stray data. NPC identified as Ryudo Issei is not authorized to do anything. I have no response to this command. Command is false. Insert correct command, victorious master. Please INSERT CORRECT COMMAND, Matou Shinji-

[It's about this time that Shinji runs screaming in the other direction.]

No more servant....?

She had to go and lose.

Weren't you supposed to support her as her master?

I did! I did and she lost anyway!

Shinji, it sounds like she at least gave it her all- right? So you shouldn't blame someone for that.

She should have done better if she was my Servant.

Then you should have done better as a Master.

It's not my fault! It's not my fault and I almost died!

Look... it was no one's fault then, the other opponent was just stronger.

I'm not supposed to get beaten in the first round...

What the heck is that? 'I'm not supposed to,' were you just... thinking you would win automatically?

It takes strength and determination to win, not to mention being able to gauge when a battle is useless or not. Facing an all too strong opponent when you know you're weaker than them isn't smart.

You don't understand - you don't understand anything! I didn't get to pick what battle I was in no matter how smart I am! And now - you heard him, right-

I can't get out!

[Aha.... he gets it now... Kouji sighs heavily.]

Jeez... sorry Shinji, I thought you could have at least ran away from that kind of situation.

But looks like we're both stuck in a place that's solely digital...

This is not okay. This is not okay.

[Paniiiic.]

Stop worrying so much, there has to be a way. Don't start panicking, just think rationally, you're a genius aren't you? Use your head.

Of course I'm a genius, but-

Okay. I was just a little unsettled for a second. That's all.

There we go... calmed down now have you?

Of course. Totally calm.

So... now what are you going to do?

First of all, I'm never talking to that NPC ever again. I think that's important.

[He shoots a glare over at Issei, some ways away.]

That NPC? Oh that one that went off and said all those things?

That one. That one's creepy.

Hn- you can say that again. Just avoid him.

You don't have to tell me twice.

And... after ignoring the NPC, then what? Just wander in cyber-space?
