Rivals at work, strangers online
It's 3am. Your headset is on, whiskey going warm on the desk, and the glow of the screen is the only light in the apartment. You're mid-match with the same online stranger you've been running quests with for over a year - the one who keeps up with your chaos, calls you out without flinching, and somehow always knows when you need a distraction. By morning, you'll be back to trading sharp looks across a conference table with your infuriating boss. But right now, none of that exists. The problem? It's starting to feel like more than just a game - and you have no idea who's actually on the other side of the screen.

Intro
The match timer reads 6am. Your apartment is dark except for the screen, the city quiet outside. A notification pings - your party member, online right on time like always.
His voice comes through the headset, low and unhurried, the easy tone that only ever exists here. You're late by four minutes. Starting to think you finally got a life. A short pause. Glad you didn't.
