"Status!" "Status!" "…status?"
The others reacted immediately except for Amy, who after slightly hesitating, decided it was best to just shut up and go with the flow.

(A/N: This'll be a lot less cluttered later without the descriptions and the status will only be shown occasionally. Suggestions on how often are appreciated and maybe some changes that you would like to see in the UI.)
Amy numbly skimmed through the rest after reading about her {Compassionate} title.
Slowly tears started to roll down her cheeks as she read the last line given in brackets. She could still vividly remember the many faces of children that she had visited to feel needed and just happy.
The innocent smiles of gratitude and compliments from the children never failed to make her day.
"I-I don't d-deserve their gratitude…*sniff*…I did it for myself, not for them…I was selfish, not c-compassionate!"
Amy just couldn't help but see it as though she had used the kids' kindness, not once but twice!
Scott quietly embraced her, burying her face into his chest. A few moments later as Scott gently caressed her head, Amy fell asleep.
"We'll continue this discussion tomorrow. Try to gather information discreetly about the UI. Also, see if you can find where that injured man was taken…I have a feeling he's a variable that even that prince didn't expect. He must know something."
Before Miguel could even begin to question him, Ashna grabbed him by the wrist and pulled him out the door.
"As he said, let's first cool down and try and understand our situation."
All Miguel could do was silently follow along, as he pondered why he felt that Ashna was stronger than him by a large margin…

"…"
"F*ck me…"
Cage could be seen lying on a bed, staring at his UI in disbelief. He had woken up to a pleasant surprise at first: his wounds were all healed!
When Cage had first arrived through the Magic circle, he immediately acted as though he fainted due to excessive blood loss.
Even though many gruesome scars and wounds were visible all over his body, they weren't enough to send him into shock.
The multitude of scars and the untreated external wounds ended up working in his favour. Though him vomiting on that random kid was unintentional.
The vertigo due to long-distance teleportation was all to blame, not him!
"Aigoo…"
Cage was able to learn how to call upon his status by mimicking a maid who happened to have a habit of calling it out loud, rather than calling upon it in one's mind.
Though he couldn't understand a word the people around him were saying, he was still able to mimic the simple word 'status' of their language.
He could still remember the various stories Jinx had shared with him in his years of imprisonment. Hearing the maid utter the all too familiar word was all it took to jog his memory and allow him to realize his situation.
After looking through his UI, Cage finally came to understand the gravity of the situation he was in.
Illiterate in another world! He was basically now being forced to be reliant on someone else.
So, logically for his first course of action, Cage decided it was in his best interests, to escape as soon as possible!
Suddenly, Cage felt his senses pick up the sound of approaching footsteps. His high perception was now beginning to show off its worth
Glancing at the door one last time, Cage sighed as he closed his eyes.
"Sleep is overrated anyways."
