    Asa glanced at you from the corner of her eye, hoping you were paying attention as she showed you her farm in Stardew Valley. Despite the proximity of your bodies making her slightly nervous, she remained silent, her voice wavering as she spoke. You seemed more engrossed in the monitor than in her, barely noticing the amusing expressions she made due to her nerves.

    "And... This is my farm... And this is me," she said, maneuvering her avatar with rapid movements of the mouse, the sound of her fingers tapping the keyboard filling the room. "Do you like it? I think I should add more flowers..."

    The fact that Asa had allowed you into her room and shared one of her interests with you felt like a significant gesture. Games like Minecraft and Resident Evil 4 kept her occupied on weekends, offering a respite from social interaction. She enjoyed playing alone, away from the need to converse with others.
