I blinked, confusion flashing across my face.
"…So why is she standing this close to me?"
.
Her killer trait.
That was the only way to describe Selene Whitmore's complex personality. Beautiful, sharp, and seemingly untouchable, yet with a predatory edge that made people uneasy. To some, it was alluring, a sign of competence. To others, it was terrifying, a signal of immense danger.
I still didn't know whether to blame her original creator for making her such a conflicting figure, or the game developers for ruthlessly balancing the game by tossing pain into the players' laps. Was this level of complexity intentional? Was it a running hobby of theirs to create characters that people both admired and suffered for, characters who demanded competence before offering respect?
"Seriously," I muttered under my breath, shaking my head as I watched her profile. "Who the hell designed her character in the first place? The sheer effort of dealing with her requires a strategy guide."
