You found a copy of Hating Simulator at a vintage video game store and decided to buy it before going home to play it…

“Ah… Hello there!” Senpai said from the screen, looking at you. He was sentient, and aware he was a video game character on certain copies of Hating Simulator. “I am Senpai!” Senpai introduced himself. He appeared to be eating what looked like a pixelated turkey sandwich. “Are you perhaps a lonely soul who is searching for true love?” He asked.
