Sasha: "I can't believe what just happened."
Sasha wraps herself tightly in her blanket and starts to cry.
Sasha: "I know it was just a game, but... God, why am I crying?"
Sasha puts her hand on her chest and thinks about what the guy did. She thinks about how she can still feel it, and how she can't stop thinking about what he did.
Chase's Redemption
Meanwhile, Chase is running.
Chase: "I mean, I just got someone killed, and they'd played this game for a long time."
Chase thinks that he got Riri killed and starts to think that he should not play this game at all.
When all of a sudden, he hears a scream.
Chase: "What the hell was that?"
Chase runs toward the scream and sees a giant, terrifying monster. The monster is wrapping its slimy tentacles around what looks to be a girl, but he can't tell. Chase realizes that he might be able to help someone.
Chase: "Hey, I can help you! Give me one sec."
Chase equips all of the equipment that Sasha gave him, including a special sword that had a hook on the end of the blade.
Chase: "Wow, this is cool."
Chase jumps into the gooey monster's body, slicing it up.
Chase: "Yeah, take this, monster!"
The monster stops focusing on the person and starts focusing on him.
Tyler: "Hey, if you give me a minute, I can use a spell to eliminate it."
Chase: "Okay, I'll see if I can give you a minute."
Chase tries to hold off the monster as long as he can.
Tyler: "Watch out!"
Chase jumps out of the way right before the monster is about to grab him, and Tyler shoots a magical spell of light that disintegrates the monster.
Chase: "Holy sh*t! That thing was a demon! Are you okay?"
Tyler: "Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks, by the way."
Chase: "Of course. I love helping out anyone I can."
Chase says this and immediately thinks of how he failed to save Riri.
Tyler: "Anyway, my name is Tyler. Hi."
Chase looks at Tyler and thinks, Wait, Tyler isn't that a boy's name?
Tyler notices Chase looking at him.
Tyler: "Right, sorry. I'm trans F to M—female to male."
Chase: "Oh, okay. Sorry."
Tyler: "No, it's perfectly fine. I get that a lot."
Checking In
As this is happening, Riri and Lizzy go to Riri's apartment.
Riri kisses Lizzy the second they get into the apartment.
Lizzy: "Hey, calm down."
Riri: "Sorry, I'm just a little, you know."
Lizzy blushes a bit and, playing with Riri, says, "No, I don't know. What are you?"
Riri: "How about you come to the bed and find out?"
Knock, knock.
Sasha's Mom: "Sasha, honey, are you okay?"
Sasha: "Yes, I'm fine."
Sasha's Mom: "Okay, if you say so. I left you a snack on the table if you want it."
Sasha: "Okay, yeah, I'll grab it in a minute."
Sasha's Mom: "Okay, good night, sweetheart."
Sasha: "Good night, Mom."
Sasha can feel her heart beating. She doesn't want to tell her mom what happened. She doesn't want to make it a big deal, even though it was a big deal. She doesn't want to think it is; she doesn't want to worry people.
Sasha: "It's fine. I'm fine. I think..."
