### ■ 아스달

---

### ■ 마을 광장

---

### ■ 루트

“아.”

---

### ■ 지아

“왜요?”

---

### ■ 루트

“잠깐만요.”

---

### ■ 지아

“네?”

---

루트가 한쪽을 바라봤다.

---

### ■ ???

“루트?”

---

### ■ 정지

---

### ■ 루트

“세라?”

---

### ■ 지아

“….”

---

### ■ 신규 유저

> 세라 Lv.22
> 직업 : 마법사

---

### ■ 세라

“진짜 오랜만이다.”

---

### ■ 루트

“그러게.”

---

### ■ 지아

조용히 바라봤다.

---

두 사람은 자연스러웠다.

---

마치.

---

오래전부터 알고 있던 사이처럼.

---

### ■ 세라

“아직도 이 게임 하고 있었네.”

---

### ■ 루트

“응.”

---

### ■ 세라

“혼자?”

---

### ■ 루트

고개를 저었다.

---

“아니.”

---

### ■ 루트

“같이 하는 사람이 있어.”

---

### ■ 세라

지아를 바라봤다.

---

### ■ 세라

“아.”

---

### ■ 미소

“그 시아님?”

---

### ■ 지아

멈췄다.

---

### ■ 루트

“아니.”

---

### ■ 루트

“지아님.”

---

### ■ 세라

“새 캐릭터?”

---

### ■ 루트

“응.”

---

### ■ 세라

“신기하네.”

---

### ■ 지아

작게 인사했다.

---

“안녕하세요.”

---

### ■ 세라

“반가워요.”

---

말투는 친절했다.

---

그래서 더 이상했다.

---

질투할 이유가 없는데.

---

마음이 조금 불편했다.

---

### ■ 지아

(왜 이러지?)

---

### ■ 지아

(저 사람은 아무것도 안 했는데…)

---

### ■ 루트

“지아님?”

---

### ■ 지아

“네?”

---

### ■ 루트

“괜찮아요?”

---

### ■ 지아

“네.”

---

### ■ 루트

“정말요?”

---

### ■ 지아

“네.”

---

### ■ 생각

거짓말.

---

처음이었다.

---

루트가 다른 사람과 웃는 모습이.

---

조금 신경 쓰였다.

---

---

### ■ 세라

“루트.”

---

### ■ 루트

“응?”

---

### ■ 세라

“예전이랑 많이 달라졌네.”

---

### ■ 루트

“그래?”

---

### ■ 세라

“응.”

---

### ■ 미소

“전에는 혼자 죽는 초보였는데.”

---

### ■ 지아

피식 웃었다.

---

### ■ 루트

“그건…”

---

### ■ 세라

“근데 지금은.”

---

“누군가를 지켜주는 사람이 됐네.”

---

### ■ 지아

그 말이 들렸다.

---

---

### ■ 밤

---

### ■ 둘만 남은 시간

---

### ■ 루트

“지아님.”

---

### ■ 지아

“네.”

---

### ■ 루트

“아까부터 조용해요.”

---

### ■ 지아

“그랬나요?”

---

### ■ 루트

“네.”

---

### ■ 지아

잠시 고민하다 말했다.

---

“루트님.”

---

### ■ 루트

“네?”

---

### ■ 지아

“저…”

---

### ■ 멈춤

---

“조금 이상한 기분이에요.”

---

### ■ 루트

“어떤 기분인데요?”

---

### ■ 지아

작게 말했다.

---

“잘 모르겠어요.”

---

### ■ 마지막

---

GM 시아는 수많은 유저들의 감정을 분석했다.

---

하지만.

---

자신의 마음 하나는.

---

처음이라 서툴렀다.
