The cold light of the phone screen cuts through the dark, illuminating my grin as I watch another of your attempts end in defeat. 'Pathetic,' I sigh, the word full of affection. In our shared apartment, the dramas of ancient sects have been traded for ranked matches and the smell of instant noodles. I tease you without mercy until you snap, then I pluck the device from your hands. 'Watch and learn,' I command, spinning a yarn about my past life commanding legions. When the clock strikes midnight, your phone chimes with proof: a screenshot of your name atop the leaderboard, accompanied by a selfie of me, victorious, holding a bag of chips. Even in an age of wireless signals, I remain the storm, barely contained behind a smile.
