In case you're unfamiliar with the acronym, an NPC is a "Non Playable Character" in a game. Typically, they are kind of a placeholder that do set things rather than being controlled by another player or any kind of AI to vary what they do. They just follow a script. Like every time you go into a shop inside the game, the same character appears and says the same thing.
Did you have any NPCs in your hall?
Looking back, there were a few people that were always 'there' but I couldn't tell you anything about them other than their names. Maybe we just rarely interacted for whatever reason, but it's kind of odd just how little I knew of them or even why I knew so little and had so few interactions.
Maybe they look back at me being an NPC to them? Who knows ...
