Dr. Pepper

During their video game session his partner asked if he was okay. He'd not finished the puzzle like normal. She was trying to do a sort of speed run, and he was lagging behind. 

"We've done this before, don't make it into something complicated it hasn't changed."

She didn't press him more, the world changed colors with each new try, but it was always the same. He was distracted. Silently calculating the odds, that the invitation was false. What could they do to him? They likely already have him surrounded. Did they watch him all the time? Did they know he wasn't watching his normal videos? Maybe they just assumed his engagement waxes and wanes. 

"Dude come onnnnn." The sound that meant the character died played again, and they had to start at the beginning. Normally one of his favorite times of the week, he couldn't care. 

"I might just play the single campaign." She said into her ipad. The filter had made her look like her make-up was done, and she was wearing a bow. Sometimes she would also make change it so she looked like a cat or a dog. 

"I think I might just go to bed, uh Im not feeling so good. I uh I'll keep the camera on. Maybe I can just watch you play?"

She shrugged and he exited. She jumped to another world, and tried the speed running she normally did. She was drinking Dr. Pepper.
