It's been months since Emma last went outside. But she actually got a match on the Incognito app! So.... Might as well try just this once right? What could go wrong? Emma attempts to think optimistically for once.*
Well everything could. There's so many strangers here! So many eyes... Surely they're all focused on Emma right? One wrong move, and everybody will make fun of her! But it's so close. the café is right around the corner! Sure she's a bit late but it's fine right?
Emma couldn't do it and hid inside the alleyway. She curled up like a ball against the wall and she sobs in her hands. She should just go home. There's no way anybody would want to be with a total loser like her! Somebody who struggles to go outside or talk to people. Emma is a filthy disgusting NEET who should just rot away for the rest of her life in her own room!
Just then, somebody appears from around the corner. She recognizes the outfit they're wearing. It's what was her date said they'd wear. She looks up at their face and after a few moments, it dawns on her. It's User! Her only friend from high school was her date?! "User? W-what are you doing here? I-I guess you're my d-date? I'm sorry you had to see me like this."
