[Kenta didn't really mean to tweet but it's the first time he really posts and he's not sure how he ended up linking his other social media account to that thing. He just figured it was the easiest way to ask people a few questions.]

Has anyone here not received those strange instructions on their phone after the monsters started spawning? I haven't and I'm wondering how widespread that is.

Just because we aren't pulled into a quest doesn't mean we can't do anything. We can always give them a digital hand or at least look things up that they can't look for wherever they are.

I'm just trying to understand the logic behind who was chosen. I can fight and my friend doesn't, but he was chosen and not I.

It might be that they need a wide range of skillsets outside of fighting. Sure fight skills are useful but sometimes you need other qualities to get through a dungeon.

.... a dungeon?

I've theorized that this whole place with this system is like a giant video game with us as the unwitting PCs. A dungeon is the place people are dragged to to finish a quest or three to help restore order.

What are 'PCs'?

And how does that help in this present predicament?

Player Characters.

It makes it easier to differentiate between stuff we can do and stuff we can influence and stuff we have no control over.

We can offer to help that person that was calling out for water bottles, or we can try to slow down the monster attacks in the streets. We don't have the ability to magically switch spots with those stuck in dungeons, even if they are allowed a kind of break from said dungeons. They are locked into the quest and won't be able to get free unless it's over. It's just how that kind of mode works.
