Twenty minutes ago, Horo opened his eyes to his familiar apartment.
It felt cold…empty. There wasn't the constant chatter and banter that he had apparently gotten used to. He found himself wanting to log back in immediately.
'No.. Here I am Adam. I can't get too attached.'
That's how he lived. That's how he survived. In the end, he could only rely on himself.
He shook his head as he sat up with a groan, resisting the urge to follow his instincts. He intended to just check himself in the mirror and then log back in and tease Lily about how she was going crazy.
Just thinking about how Lily would probably throw a tantrum when he told her nothing changed brought a small smile to his face.
His footsteps echoed through the empty hallway as he entered his bathroom, the light flickering briefly before illuminating the room.
In the mirror, a tall young man stared back at him, amber eyes sharp, jet-black hair unruly.
"Heh. I knew she was crazy"
