When Yumiella was thinking about where she could even go, and then Patrick comes, is just wholesome! She hasn't had a friend for almost her whole life in this world i.e. almost 15 years, her 'house' is suffocating and her parents have no regard for her. I think that is the main reason she likes levelling up, besides being a gamer, it was the only thing she enjoyed in her whole life!
And go where? With her powers and her appearance she would just end up in the same situation wherever she goes. Can't exactly run from yourself. Facing your problems head on is always better than running away
