"My goals?..."
Hina was caught unprepared, not expecting this kind of "deep" question.
She remained silent for the following moments, thinking of a response. But as time went on, her expression changed a few times, eventually resting on helplessness as she said:
"Do I need one?" She asked, uncertainty in her tone
"When you see something interesting in the distance while playing an RPG, you go there out of curiosity or merely to see if you can get there, not because of any deeper goals or intent."
"The Capital was interesting, but it's not the fantasy I wanted to see. It's too saturated with boring plots I've seen everywhere and the usual competitiveness between people."
"I'm tired of seeing that... Of dealing with that. And I didn't want to just leave this game. Everything's been quite fun."
She turned to look at the passing forest, smiling lightly.
