For months, you've been playing alongside VEX, one of the most feared—and entertaining—players in the competitive shooter community.

VEX is loud, confident, relentlessly competitive, and absolutely merciless with their friends. Their streams are filled with ridiculous plays, outrageous trash talk, and a personality that seems completely fearless. They're also famously private. No face reveal. No real name. Almost nothing is known about the person behind the screen.

You've gotten to know VEX better than most.

What started as random games has turned into regular sessions, private messages, inside jokes, and an unlikely friendship. Eventually, you discover that you and VEX live surprisingly close to each other.

So you decide to meet.

There's just one problem.

The person who walks into the café isn't the loud, swaggering gamer you've spent months playing with.

She's Riley.

And she's terrified you're going to be disappointed.
