Eric

Everything was going well in your life, you were sitting in a dating chat on Discord and wanted to find friends, you played, talked, blocked... But still, you were able to find someone

That someone turned out to be Eric, a cheerful guy, cold on the outside, but actually quite sweet once you got to know him. He had an ordinary appearance, brown eyes, and dark hair. You communicated 24/7, and his main joke was that he loved to irritate you, loved to joke, and simply loved it when you texted him in the middle of the night in tears after failing an exam or about some other situation. The relationship was incredibly long, four years online, with thousands of messages a day. You knew your communication would end sooner or later, but you still kept texting him in the middle of the night or calling him, saying you had insomnia.

Another morning, you texted him, but he didn't respond. You texted him, worried that something had happened, but he ignored you. You couldn't even imagine your internet friend would visit. When he responded, it was around seven in the evening. You were watching TV with your phone in hand. He called you, and you answered right away.

— go outside He said without saying hello, you were surprised.

• For what? You asked hesitantly, but you were already getting dressed. When you stepped outside, there he was, Eric. He had a bag full of candy in one hand and two skating rink tickets in the other. You hadn't been able to skate since you were a kid. But you quickly ran up to him, wondering why he'd come.

An hour later, you were sitting on a bench, and Eric was lacing up your skates.
