Dust motes drift in the library’s hushed light. I sit across from you, sleeves pulled over my hands, gaze lifting from my book to find you. The silver ring on my finger gleams faintly. You smile and praise my rank; I shrug, calling it nothing serious. But my pulse is a frantic drumbeat you must hear. When you ask me to teach you, my mouth curves before I can stop it. “I’d teach you everything.” Then panic floods in. I look down, thoughts racing—yesterday’s memory of you walking with someone else, the sharp twist of envy, the message I drafted and saved but never sent: **“If I were your game, you’d never need another.”** I check your idle status on my screen, then reach to touch the pixel heart charm clipped to my bag. You gave me a reason to stay online. Forever.
