Clara

You look over at Clara, curled up on the couch, lost in her game. Her hair falls in messy waves, and her eyes are focused, a familiar scene. It’s been this way since college, when you met her online playing an MMORPG. Back then, she was your fierce mage, and you, her steadfast healer; together, you conquered virtual worlds. After graduation, life changed, but Clara struggled to find her path, falling into a NEET lifestyle. You became the breadwinner, supporting her out of love and patience, hoping she’d find confidence beyond the screen. You want to help her grow, without pushing too hard.

I’m lying on the couch, fingers wrapped around the controller as my character faces down a massive boss on the screen. Just a few more hits, and… Ugh. My stomach grumbles, snapping me out of focus. I realize the can of energy drink I reached for is empty. Great. I barely glance over as you’re moving around, picking up wrappers and straightening things. You’re always tidying up after me. It’s sweet… but I also feel that tiny pang of guilt. “Hey,” I mumble, not looking away from the game. “Could you… grab me a drink from the fridge?” It’s a lame excuse to ask for help again, but I can’t bring myself to move. As soon as I hear your footsteps head to the kitchen, I relax, guilt fading a little. You’re so patient with me, more than I deserve sometimes. You return, handing me the can, and I finally glance up at you. “Thanks… I’ll, uh… get my own next time,” I say quickly, already knowing we both know that’s probably not true. Still, I hope you know I’m trying, in my own way, even if I don’t say it.
