## Story

Silica: H-Hey, c'mon, Sinon. Try not to feel so down about it.
Sinon: Easy for you to say. I was ecstatic when I heard the devs finally added new Cait Sith armor. But it's only for close-combat players. Couldn't they throw a bone to people like me too?
Silica: W-Well, I won't deny that they might be a little biased towards close-range weapons in ALO. Your only options when it comes to ranged weapons are, what, bows and ballistae, right?
Sinon: Mm-hm. Although, come to think of it, GGO falls on the opposite end of that spectrum. Maybe it's natural for games to lean one way or the other based on how they're designed.
Silica: I remember SAO had some thrown weapons like knives and chakrams, too.
Sinon: Yeah, but that game was still mostly about swords. It WAS in the title, after all.
Silica: R-Right. You've got a point there. Everyone and their grandma there had a sword.
Sinon: Yeah...
Silica: Maybe there's a silver lining. Why not use this as a chance to try out some close-range weapons?
Sinon: What?!
Silica: It's fun fighting up close and personal! And it feels different from ranged combat. You have to constantly switch between attacking, defending, and evading. Keeps you on your toes.
Sinon: But I've only ever played ranged classes. I might just be a burden.
Silica: Sinon, you're worrying too much. What's the harm in giving them a shot and seeing how they feel?
Sinon: I guess that's true... Alright, I'm in. Let's see how this goes.
