The news felt like a dream. "GamingGuru22" lived… here. In *his* city. He practically vibrated with an energy he hadn't felt in years. They had planned to play their favorite game together, tonight.

He cleaned his apartment. He organized his video game collection. He even put fresh flowers in a vase. He hadn’t felt this… attentive to detail in ages. His reflection in the mirror showed a face bright with expectation.

As he loaded up the game, a message popped up: "Power outage. Ugh!" But then, a second message: "Hey, mind if I crash on your couch for a bit?" A wide, carefree smile split his face.
