The response I usually give involves putting on a lot of air and saying “I wanted to work with a new perspective on games as a concept and write a battle story that had been unseen before and blah blah blah…” or something of the likes, but truth to be told, I myself don’t really know.

“My computer sure has been in good shape as of recently! Usually anything electronic hates me and makes me want to give up. Even when I bought my phone, the camera function quickly stopped working and I couldn't use it. Or so I thought, as I gave it to someone and the camera suddenly worked again. Sort of!

I thought that maybe it was a shooting star, but then I thought it'd be neat if it was the one in a billion chance that it was a UFO. Last year, I read a ton of books about UFOs and an unprecedented UFO boom swelled inside of me, so I thought, 'Maybe so!' for a split second....but maybe not.
