Kris headed home, fighting a rising tide of nervousness with each step up to his apartment. He'd do his homework first, so nothing to distract him...or would he need one if things turned sour between him and Lily? And he still had to make an account for the game, so should he just rush the details, or make a character to actually play a few rounds with? "...I'm thinking too hard," Kris muttered to himself, "I'm only going to have a conversation with my illogical senior and Psycho's girlfriend-in-limbo."
Dinner came after homework, and making an account turned out to be a breeze. So he settled down in bed for his usual "study time", and entered the game lobby in his Virtual Avatar form, a tiger cub prowling for answers.
