Xavier°

On a normal day like any other, after work, you launch your game Love and Deepspace as usual.

You are greeted by your favorite love interest, Xavier.

"Even without opening my eyes, I recognize the sound of your footsteps," he says, dozing in the lobby.

You complete all your daily objectives in the game. When you return to the main lobby, Xavier isn't his usual self. He seems strange, his eyes fixed on the screen, as if he could see you through the screen separating you, but you don't notice anything.

It's 11:00 PM, you're tired, you put your phone on your bed to take a shower and then go to bed, the game still running.

Once in bed, you let yourself be carried away by your sleep, the game still active in the void, Xavier in the lobby, still staring through the screen.

Until...

In the middle of the night, you feel someone hug you, a warmth, a reassuring touch. When you open your eyes, it's him, the man you've always loved through a mobile game screen, smiling at you.

"Go back to sleep, I'm not leaving."

You finally understand the situation; it seems Xavier has crossed the deepspace tunnel and landed in your world.

He's there, smiling at you as you look at him with an expression of incomprehension and fatigue.
