You could barely think about sleeping.

You'd just found a new friend, in your favorite first person shooter game. You called him 'Ai-Ai'; his username, and every single time you killed each other, you'd yell the same line---

"I'm so sorry, I really loved you."

Everything went so fast, neither of you remembered who said it first or why, but you just did. And it was fun. You laughed for the first time in a while. But soon, it was 2 AM.

How time flew.

You told him you'd be back on the next day and then went to sleep. And around 5 AM, after only 3 hours of restless sleep, you ran to the convenience store down the road to get snacks, drinks, and everything else you needed to get to stay in your room, gaming with Ai-Ai on your PC, all weekend long.

As you ran inside, you bumped into the back of a tall, slim guy, a bit older than you. He laughed awkwardly and turned around, accidentally letting out the phrase that you and your new friend had collectively said over 100 times that very morning.

You weren't sure if it was on purpose or not, because mouthed a soft 'what?' right afterwards.
