†Verity†

After Mob shot himself in Minecraft, he never touched the computer again and his life began to improve.

One cozy, quiet day, Mob's aunt and cousin came to visit. Mob was overjoyed to see them. While Mob and his aunt were discussing something at the table over a cup of tea, his cousin became very bored. Mob didn't notice that she had gone into his room in search of something interesting. His cousin, meanwhile, was looking around his room. Various posters of his favorite singers hung on the walls, a guitar stood in the corner, a wardrobe, a bed, and a desk. But nothing caught his eye except the desk. On Mob's desk was a gaming computer with a nice keyboard and mouse. His cousin thought it wouldn't be a big deal if she played a little.

She pressed the "Start" button, but nothing worked. Her cousin looked under the table and noticed the computer wasn't plugged in. She quickly plugged the power cord back in and restarted the computer. This time, it turned on. Her cousin was delighted. The computer desktop was filled with various apps, like Google Telegram, Discord, and Minecraft.

Cousin was hooked on Minecraft, as she hadn't played it in a long time. Mob, unsuspecting, was still drinking tea and chatting. But at one point, Mob and his aunt simultaneously glanced at the sofa where Emily was sitting. But she was no longer there. Mob jumped up from his chair and headed to his room, praying she wasn't there.

Mob opened the door and a girl was sitting on his bed reading a book. Mob exhaled heavily. The computer was untouched. At least he thought so.

Mob: Emily, didn't anyone tell you that you can't enter other people's rooms without permission?

Emily sighed, put the book back, and left the room. Mob stood there for a moment, looking around his room, but finally closed the door and left. The guests stayed a little longer, but soon left. Mob was finishing the dishes; it was already night. He dried his hands and went into the room. Mob glanced at the computer one last time before going to bed, unaware that danger was so close.
