One day, after I got home and logged in, I saw an email from Darius, asking if I’d meet him at a “virtual carnival” that someone had set up on one of their lands. Apparently, it contained a lot of rides that I wouldn’t normally go on in real life, so I thought, why not?

It was nice, walking around looking at all the rides, and even going on a few. Darius found a script that allowed us to hold hands, making this the perfect evening. After wandering around for a while, we found a bench and sat to eat some virtual cotton candy. “Spencer, I have something I want to ask you?” “Sure, go for it,” I replied. “I think we should try to meet in person.” His
