My perception of time this year is still a bit skewed. Please forgive me for any errors in the timeline.
It was the start of 2024. My relationship with Landon was feeling a bit uncertain. I understand he has ADHD, but he would ignore me as much as possible for whatever interest he’s currently fixated on. It has happened different times before, but now that I’m finally living with him, it would be nice to have some attention. I was feeling very dejected because of it. All I had to look forward to was getting high and playing games with Evan. I’m sure you could be thinking, 'Ah! I figured it out! You want Evan!' but you are mistaken. I’m a dating sim enjoyer. I don’t need other people for romance when I need love and affection. You can think I’m a loser all you’d like, but it’s so fun to just daydream and fantasize about romance with a vampire who loves you for all eternity in a mansion. I also just didn't think of him in that way. He was my cherished friend.
I would spend my nights getting high and playing games with Evan. We would download a bunch of different mods. We would play Stardew Valley. We would play Terraria. We would play League of Legends. We would play Roblox. We would play The Sims. We would play VRChat. Anything and everything.
One night, Evan asked if Wolf wanted to play VRChat with us. The night before, Evan and I had found a super fun festival world in VRChat that even had a horror attraction—it was a lot of fun. Wolf agreed to play, so Evan and I played League as we waited for Wolf to set up her VR headset. A few games passed, and Wolf's headset just isn’t turning on. There was no logical reason behind why it wouldn’t turn on. Looking back, I think this was my sealed fate.
This one girl we added on League was online, and I told Evan we should invite her. He agreed and sent her an invite, which she then declined. Evan and I were both like, 'WHATTT NO WAY!' and I was like, 'Man, whatever. We need to just find a new girl to befriend if she’s gonna ignore us. You know where we could find one? Probably VRChat.' Probably VRChat. Probably VRChat. Whoever is in control of my fate must have been smiling in that devilish way they seem to always do, as I took the exact steps as foreseen.
Evan and I then got on VRChat, and at this point, we were decently high. That part is, unfortunately, important.
