Were you only able to read one philosopher, who would you read?

It's Plato or Aristotle. Please don't make me choose between the two.

I don't think I would read anything like that, it sounds boring and a punishment, I would probably end up hating even my favorite philosophers.

It's a hard choice but I'd still pick Plato over him if I really had to.

he's referring to the NPC test which you have failed to pass. if you get asked what would you do if you didn't have breakfast this morning the reasonable answer would be getting food. but the NPCs always answer "but I did have my breakfast", showing they are incapable of abstract thought which is something you need for solving hypotheticals such as OP.

Right. I was just imagining a realistic context in which OP's speculation
>were you only able to...
might actually apply. In that instance, it's Mao or die

I would pick Plato crying and cursing my situation. Aristotle is like the best antagonist one could hope for and in many ways all that you need if you want to see the full picture.
