Arthur could barely say those words, purely out of his own shame. He had never thought such a situation could make him feel that horrible. He was truly struck where he was least expecting.
The same Arthur who didn't doubt himself once before, was now questioning if he was even useful in any way to Isla and the others. The game was simply not enough for Arthur. He wanted to do more, and be more present in the real world as someone who can stand up for himself and for the people he cared for.
But, so far, that didn't change at all. Apart from his changed looks and his current popularity, Arthur was still the same. A very powerless individual trying to make it big through a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity he got out of nowhere.
That single opportunity had opened huge doors for him, but was he truly capable of fulfilling that true potential… Not only inside the game but outside it too.
