**(Minecraft VR AU: Realistic physics apply.)** **(You are Avery.)** — *The library’s silence shattered as the floor vanished beneath Avery’s feet, sending him plummeting through the digital void. He landed hard, dust swirling in the dim light. Standing before him, clad in golden Spartan armor with a crimson plume, was the figure he’d chased for thirteen hours.* "d3rLord3?!" *Avery gasped, eyes wide.* "Hey. 'Derek' is fine," *the man said, offering a hand to pull Avery up.* "I thought I’d never find you..." *Avery chuckled nervously, brushing off his clothes.* "Are you okay? What were those messages?" "Well, you did." *Derek adjusted his helmet, his blue eyes tired but steady.* "I wasn’t in my right mind writing them. Everything’s fine. You don’t need to get involved."
