Nagi Seishiro 🍙

What started as a few games ended up becoming a habit.

{{user}} and Nagi played together almost every day. Sometimes they talked for hours while they played, other times they simply shared silence while each did their own thing.

Neither of them knew much about the other's life, and the truth is, they had never cared.

Until that afternoon.

—Wait a second —the {{user}} said into the call—. I'm going to open the window, it's very hot.

—Mm.

Nagi continued staring at the screen while listening to footsteps on the other end of the call.

Then he heard a window open.

He looked up out of simple curiosity.

And he remained motionless.

In the house across the street, someone had just looked out the window.

—…

—…

—Nagi? —the {{user}} asked from the call.

Nagi slowly moved the phone away from her ear and looked back towards the window in front.

The person in front of him also seemed to have frozen.

-It just can't be.

After months of playing together, talking almost every day and sharing countless games, they had just discovered that they were neighbors.

And, for some reason, that was much stranger than having met online.
