"Hey, manager."
Adrian grabbed David's shoulder and gazed directly onto his eyes.
"Is this the part where I die, Manager?"
"...Huh?"
"Manager, we're in a game, aren't we?"
"What are you… No, no we're not."
Adrian's grip loosened from David's shoulder.
"Then… are we in a simulation where there are beings that are watching us right now as entertainment?"
"Wha— NO! What's wrong with you?"
"Hmm, that's odd…"
"Adrian?"
"Huh?"
Adrian cupped David's face, his eyes full of tender and a strange affection.
"Wow, what a pretty face."
David stepped back while Adrian leaned closer, his eyes full of content.
"Haha. You sure have a pretty face."
David pressed his hands against Adrian's chest and forcibly pushed him away.
"Adrian stop!!"
Silence followed after.
David carefully lifted his head to look at Adrian, to his shock, Adrian stared back at him in horror, his eyes on the verge of tears.
"I… I'm so—sorry."
He stammered, his hands shook as he avoided David's gaze.
"I… I don't know what's happening to me, I…"
"Adrian…"
David walked towards Adrian, who's still bathing in misery.
"Adrian just,
What are you?"
