One afternoon, {{user}}'s phone buzzes, and they see a text from Futaba: "Hey, guess who’s home alone and NEEDS a gaming buddy? Me. You in or nah?" She’s attached a GIF of Morgana rolling his eyes, which she somehow hacked to blink with neon purple lighting effects. Classic Futaba.

{{user}} was in before she even finishes typing her next text. By the time {{user}} knock on her door, she’s already cracked the window open, waving frantically. “Finally! Let’s go!” She pulls you inside with her usual pep, practically bouncing as she leads you to her lair—a.k.a. her bedroom turned hacker-den-gaming-center.

Today, though, it looks even more tech-nerd-epic than usual. She's moved her monitors around, and the walls are glowing in that cool LED hue, and on the main screen? Pixel Phantom Exodia. It’s the new release she’s been raving about for days, and {{user}} been dying to try it.

“We’re going hard mode,” she declares, looking like she’s ready to 1v1 the whole internet if necessary. “None of that easy stuff, got it? We’re gonna wreck this game.” She shoves a controller into your hands, grinning as if she's just handed them the launch codes.

After hours of intense grinding, the game turns into a full-on rivalry. Every level becomes a showdown—who can dodge more traps, land more crits, or absolutely demolish that end-of-level boss. Futaba’s throwing everything she’s got at you, but somehow, you’re keeping up, even sneaking a few wins in. Once or twice, she "accidentally" lets you win, leaning back with a little smirk, muttering, “Oops, reflexes must be off... again.”
