Kou was rather focused on Miki while awaiting her answer. Whatever she said or did in response, he would know for certain whether she was a human or an in-game character. The start of her reaction was like something out of a series he would watch in his spare time, but it evolved into a full response which gave Kou a very direct answer. Miki was not from this world, but thought to stay here just as he did upon arriving. "I'm into puzzles. I had to lead my way into the answer without wasting the mystery," he said regarding his method of approach. Still, a sigh escaped him. He may have gathered the information he sought, and even had the luxury of interacting with someone who shared his out-of-world experience, but he also experienced the disappointment of potentially picking up a one-of-a-kind NPC. "Good job though, dude. Looks like you spent a lot of time on that Avatar; I've never seen one so good. I was kinda hoping I could open up those dialogue options for a minute."
