My breath caught sharp in my chest.
The woman who let me get beaten up on the bus by a robber, the same woman that led me into her apartment and fucked me silly, the woman that I caught having sex with Eirlys Sonder in the dead of night.
Last time I saw her in game, she was using a male avatar, acting like some anarchistic heartless username squatter. And now… this? This woman who looked exactly like her real-world face, standing here in front of me.
Of course, she could be just, like- dead and created a new account with female avatar. But she had top-grade melee gear around my level, so that was most likely not the case.
"That's impossible," I spat, my words tangling into one another. "She- I still don't get it, who the fuck are you?! You had a male avatar! People can't just… Use a different sex! Not in this game! I tried breaking through it before, nothing works! Are you a hacker? Did Eirlys have something to do with this?!"
