SOMETHING (en) √

One

Nowa casually playing her all-time favourite game, Left 4 Dead 2. She's live streaming now with her online friend, Allan. It's been a few years since she became friends with Allan and her few other friends. They used to hate each other due to some miscommunication that happened around her Left 4 Dead community, but it's all been cleared out, and they ended up getting closer and closer to each other.

"Come on, Allan! Why is it so hard for you to keep up with us?!" Nowa said.

"I'm struggling behind here! And why did all of you leave me behind?" Allan trying to defend himself as a Hunter, suddenly pounded him, leaving him behind everyone.

"Oh gosh, this human!" Maya tries to help him out.

The game keeps on going until they finally manage to escape the Dark Carnival. Only god knows how much Nowa hates this campaign map. She got annoyed by all the clown zombies that were roaming around.

"Swamp Fever next!" said Jacob.

"Let's gaur!" Allan mimics Maya's accent.

"Shut up, Allan. Or I won't be saving you next time."

Nowa is just listening to their conversation because she has a feeling that Bella, her housemate, is on her way to scold her by now. Knowing that it's already 3 a.m., it's about time that Bella will knock on her door.

Knock Knock Knock!

Speak of the devil.

"Nowa, I think it's time for you to stop streaming and sleep!" she shouted.

"I will! Don't worry."

"Yeah, like I'm gonna believe you. Tomorrow is Monday, remember? You need to go back to your office!"

"Okay, sweetheart! I'll be sleeping. Just one more game, okay?"

"Ergh. I can already imagine your reaction if those zombies exist."

Nowa could hear Bella's footsteps walking back to her room. She sighs a bit and gets back to the game.

"What's wrong, Nowa?" Maya asked.

"My housemates just asked me to go to sleep now."

"I see. So motherlike."

"Anyway, last one, and I'll be off."

"Sure."

^^^^^

The next day, Nowa went off to work like usual. Nothing went wrong except she was almost late. Almost. Around the afternoon, Bella texted her about going to lunch with their college mate. Nowa just gets along with it since it's been a long time since she last saw them.

"Where are they now?" Nowa asked once she entered Bella's car.

"At the cafe that we usually go to. Daniel told me that he's bringing one of his friends from his office. Are you okay with it?" Bella asked back.

"Of course. You know I didn't mind meeting new people."

Nowa is kinda extroverted, so meeting new people is always her cup of tea. She doesn't have a problem with socializing. Not long after that, they arrived at the cafe. Bella carefully parked her car at the empty spot.

"I can't see them. Can you?" Nowa asked.

"I think that's Daniel. Come here."

Nowa is just following Bella to Daniel. Playing games in the dark causes her to slowly lose her vision. Bella told her to make her glasses, but she refused. It's uncomfortable for her. That's why she can no longer drive the car. Her osteoporosis on her right ankle didn't help her to do her daily routines perfectly. She's doing better, but once the pain strikes, there's nothing she can do about it. A pack of ice sometimes helps.
