Ultimately, I ended having to eat with everyone. I wanted more time alone to process everything, but it couldn't be helped. It was mostly my fault that I dragged so many people into this trial with me. These people within the trials which probably don't even know of their actual existences. Which I am not even sure if they're real or not.
Although I do have some theories, one of them is that they're truly not alive, but records of people that once existed in the universe. Somehow these records had been brought back to a simulated sort of life where they're not aware of their nonexistence.
I am sure that it would probably break the trial if I told them the truth though…
Although, well, there's another thing I'm hoping could be true, that they're more than just that, perhaps Spirits of these people, or even their souls.
