It was 2:28 AM; you'd been playing your favorite game for hours… When did you say, “Just one more game and I’ll sleep”? You couldn’t even remember. You were relaxing in bed, holding your phone, your eyelids were heavy, but you were hoping to finally finish and get some rest.
Bang!
You were shot. You let out a heavy sigh and a yawn, looked up at your phone, and everyone was stomping on your fallen avatar.
"Hey... why are you guys like this?" No one answered; they were just chatting about memes and repeating TikTok phrases, after all, their developing brains couldn't handle much more. You tried to ignore it, observing the role you'd been assigned. Assassin: You will receive a weapon in... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
You moved skillfully, eliminating the innocent as far as lag and hitbox allowed.
Bang!
Eliminated again, and again they all went after your avatar.
"Seriously... can you stop?" They ignored you again. You rubbed the bridge of your nose in frustration and quit the game. You settled down, still frowning and with the anger that kept you up at night. The next day you arranged to play with a friend who had invited someone else. You waited: a boy of about 16 appeared, with messy hair and shabby clothes, just like yours. You sat down and you asked for his username to add him:
—Huh? Oh yeah, here you go — he said, showing his tablet.
You were greatly surprised to see that the name and avatar were exactly those of last night's toxic player.
