"A Night of Revelations"


Sienna

As I approached my home, a familiar temptation beckoned me. Instead of turning towards my doorstep, I found myself drawn to the neon glow of an internet cafe.

Stepping inside, I was enveloped by a sea of purple and blue lights, casting an otherworldly aura upon the room.

Finding solace in the dimly lit corner, I settled in front of a computer, with
Darcy, a 17-year-old teen, exuded a laid-back vibe as he sat beside me,

Our fingers tapping away on our keyboards as we delved into the adrenaline-pumping world of Outlast Trials.

He's an absolute prodigy when it comes to hacking, a skill passed down from his father.

All I know is that he lives alone, eats, study, does part-time jobs, and remains totally relaxed.

Despite our friendship of a few months, recent revelations have shed light on his tumultuous family history.

His father, a notorious alcoholic and abuser, also had a knack for hacking, which led him down a treacherous path.

He once breached the security of the nation's commercial bank, an act that landed him in prison. Despite this setback, he somehow managed to secure his release, leaving behind a legacy of chaos and intrigue.

Darcy reminds me of my own youth, trapped in my father's mansion. It's this shared experience that makes our vibes align.

In this boyhood, His face is framed by wisps of light, sandy hair that cascade effortlessly around his ears. His eyes, a gentle shade of hazel, Plump, lips form a soft smile that crinkles the corners of his eyes.

Overall, his soft features paint a picture of innocence and sweetness, but he was anything but innocent.

As his urgent cry of "Sis, watch out!", shattered my concentration, I found myself under attack in the game and yes, I got killed.

I glanced over at him, registering a mix of irritation and disappointment in his eyes. Flashing him an innocent smile, I attempted to diffuse the tension, but he simply rolled his eyes in response.

As I playfully hit him on the head, I quipped, "Don't roll your eyes on me, boy ".

He briefly diverted his gaze from the PC to meet my playful challenge before returning his attention to the screen.

As I shifted my focus to my own device, stepping out of the game and delving into my own research, he interrupted with a simple "done."

Glancing over at his computer, I noticed a download had completed. With a questioning look, I met his narrowed gaze.

His words cut through the silence, revealing the truth: "Your footage got deleted."

It dawned on me then, his proficiency in hacking wasn't just a skill; it was a tool wielded with purpose.
