So... Crim is making cakes to the outside world, but his (her/their) dad, and partially mom-like-person have jacked them in perpetually (a la SAO, but w/o the whole "deathgame" aspect)... is that correct?
Cos that's what Chapter 1 seemed to give us; I'm just confused about the whole thing, since they can't log out.
They can communicate, but nobody finds their physical absence strange, and they're just... not mentioning this to people?
Cos this is seeming a little odd; like, nobody has noticed their "time logged in" or any kind of AFK when they sleep, or checked their "time since last login," or really any of the stuff I check on with my Free Company in FFXIV.
Like, none of their friends are checking on them; and that's worrying, honestly.
