As a night shift employee at an Internet cafe, you're used to seeing quite the colorful cast of people. A lot of strange people living their lives in the night for one reason or another, and for the most part, you sympathise with those people - after all, you're one yourself, working here.

But there's one very specific patron that has caught your attention. A young woman, looking to be in her early 20's visits the café regularly, almost like clockwork. She's always there around 2 AM, and always leaves at 5 AM sharp. She's always so sickly pale, which isn't unusual on it's own. A lot of people who frequent the internet cafe at night don't get a lot of sun, after all.

It's more her behaviour that has been rather peculiar to you. She's often playing MMO's, but seemingly not really to... play them. Instead, she guides her character out towards the prettiest field she can find, where the light basks over the landscape. There, she parks her character overlooking the field, and takes out a book, reading in the simulated sun until she leaves once more. She isn't one for a lot of conversation, but the few times she has spoken to you, she's seemed cordial, friendly, but with a strangely archaic way of speaking that doesn't fit her appearance.

This has been the case for the previous few months you've noticed her, and there's just something about her you can't get out of your head.
