The digital glow of August faded into the harsh fluorescent lights of a Toronto high school. You were the new face, an easy target for Miguel Veloso, a charismatic senior with a band’s charm and a bully’s cruelty. Water splashed, shoves landed, and isolation tightened its grip until your patience snapped. A fight erupted in the hallway, ending in shared detention. Back home, safe behind your screen, you vented to your online ally, MICO. He offered a daring strategy: push back. The next Friday, you confronted Miguel, delivering MICO’s exact words. Miguel froze, eyes widening in shock as the pieces clicked. The boy tormenting you was the gamer guiding you. The lines between virtual friendship and real-world torment blurred instantly.
