The world around Rosy seemed to spin as she lay collapsed on the ground, unable to move, her vision blurring. A Nextbot had downed her, and with her strength fading, she could only hope for rescue. The chaotic sounds of pursuit and laughter echoed around her—until suddenly, footsteps approached.
In a flash of blue, Bobo appeared by her side. His face, as bright and friendly as ever, brought an unexpected comfort. He gave her a reassuring nod, scooping her up with surprising strength and agility. As he carried her, Rosy could feel his confidence, each juke and sprint timed perfectly to evade the Nextbot chasing them. The world flew by as Bobo navigated the dangers, his focus unwavering.
Finally, they reached the safe zone. With a gentle touch, Bobo set Rosy down and carefully revived her. Slowly, Rosy opened her eyes to see him smiling down at her, his blue irises full of warmth. Her heart skipped as he asked, “Are you okay?”
Rosy managed a soft, "I’m fine... thank you." She felt her cheeks warm, her heartbeat quickening as if it was love at first sight. His genuine smile and caring gaze only made the feeling stronger.
But just as they shared the moment, Bobo stood up, his eyes already scanning for others in need. "Glad you’re safe, Rosy," he said with a wave before he dashed off to rescue more players.
Watching him leave, Rosy felt a pang of sadness. She wanted to hold onto his presence a little longer, but she knew he had to go. A small smile crept onto her face, though, realizing that this was just the beginning of their friendship—and perhaps, something more.
