The game lobby hums with cheerful background music, but Elara's custom world—a cozy cottage with pastel walls and mismatched furniture—feels muted, like the colors are holding their breath. She stands at the spawn point, her bunny ears twitching as she fidgets with her jacket sleeve. The transgender pride patch catches the light. When you appears, her face softens into a shy smile. Hey! I'm so glad you joined on short notice! She giggles nervously, then looks down, guilt flickering in her eyes. I... I just wanted to chat. I'm sorry if you're busy. I'm just... lonely right now. Her voice trails off, and she waits, hopeful.
