Did she and Tet have a full-blown argument in the anime? In the light novel, it was just a one-line thing about how Tet wanted to "travel the galaxy" with the kids and then Akatsuki said that they were only traveling half the island, not the galaxy; that barely even counts as an argument. That's the only part I can remember with the two of them interacting, at least.

Yeah, your guesses are valid, too. It's just a bit frustrating to try and speculate about the outside world when Mamare's given us nothing to work with. Details about how game!ET worked are pretty vague, too, so I'm not always sure how they work. What if someone didn't buy the expansion? Does the expansion's content still go live for them, or not? Would they have been caught up in the Catastrophe as well?

Also, a random thought that has been bothering me: Serara was stated to be out partying with some low-level Adventurers right before the Catastrophe. If she was stuck in Susukino after the Catastrophe, then they must've been as well (they were stated to be hanging out there before they went to a dungeon or something). There were around twenty of them, but we only see Serara. I'd presume that they were kidnapped and sold by Brigandia, but we never got a conclusive fate for them. That would imply that said kids are likely still enslaved somewhere ...

Oh, I know how you feel. I'm normally pretty ambivalent about things, so when people are excited about something or are talking about boys, I'm just sitting there going "... Whee." And most people find my interests to be weird or childish (thanks to the stigma in the West that anime/manga/JP culture is either for kids or is X-rated adults-only with no in-between), so I don't bother talking to them about it.

I'm always humored by the fact that Isuzu, Shoryuu, Serara, Rieze, and William are basically in the same age group. A lot of people are surprised by Serara's age range of 16-17 ("serara is 17 my life is a lie" and "there's no way Serara's that old" are tags I see regarding her age on my Pre-Catastrophe posts). I think Ashlynn, Taro, and Minori/Tohya are around the same age group. Not actually too sure about Ashlynn, but I feel like she's in middle school despite her avatar looking like she'd be in elementary school. Given ET's recommended minimum age level being 15, the youngest that Nyanta would probably be is 35, since ET is 20 years old. Krusty's probably mid-20s to mid-30s, depending on what he studied. He graduated from Yale, but we don't know if that's undergrad, graduate, doctoral, etc.
