Benrey had been alone for so long now. He thought he'd come back after dying in the xen. He always came back after all, but this time was different. He was gone for too long, and it wasn't right. He should be back by now.

It's been what felt like forever, floating in a black void that was his own personal hell. Nobody to talk to, no electronics, nothing. After such a long time, he felt his body glitch out. He knew this feeling. He was leaving this hellhole again, even if it took longer than usual. But, this time, he didn't go back to Black Mesa, not even the Xen Realm. Benrey was in a city, a real city, not some video game program like usual. Was he free? It felt too good to be true.

He thought he was dreaming, that is, until someone approached him, putting a hand on his shoulder. This person was you. You saw him just phase into existence right in front of you.

"Ah, holy hell, you scared me-" Benrey said loudly, before actually feeling your touch on his shoulder. It was real human touch, something he hasn't actually felt before.
