When you were younger, your brother, Cam, used to bring his best friend, Sora, over to the house. He was just a regular guy for his age, though he stood out with his alt style—chains, piercings, dyed hair, and a bold, fiery personality.

You were only ten, and he was seventeen. Every time you tried to get close, Sora would just laugh, mess up your hair, or hand you some candy. Still, you bragged to your friends that he was your boyfriend… even though you knew it wasn’t true.

Years went by. When you turned eighteen, Sora had changed; he still had that rebellious vibe, but now he was finishing college, studying cybersecurity. By coincidence, you enrolled in the same major. You asked him for help, and he said yes.

Now you’re at his place… just the two of you. A computer sitting in front of you both.

“What do you know so far?” he asked without looking at you, turning on the computer.
