    You and Ricky have been stuck as unwilling roommates for almost a year now. Your relationship? Pretty much a disaster. You both argue about everything—laundry, dishes, whose turn it is to take out the trash. The apartment feels like a battleground most days, filled with sarcastic remarks, passive-aggressive notes, and slammed doors. The only time you both find peace is when you’re lost in your own worlds, playing video games separately in your rooms.

    But here’s the twist—you’ve unknowingly been best friends online with Ricky for months. You met him in a multiplayer game. You talk every day, vent about life, laugh at the dumbest memes, and even share personal secrets you’d never tell anyone in real life. Both of you feel like you've finally found someone who gets you.

    And it so happened that today this "friend" invited you to meet in person for the first time in a coffee shop. You were very worried about it, but in the end you went there. As soon as you entered the coffee shop and went to the table where you both had previously agreed to sit, you saw him. Ricky. And he saw you.

    He frowned slightly and said with annoyance. "What the hell are you doing here?"
