It was cold, so cold that her breath puffed out in front of her as she struggled to match her older brother's strides. It'd been impulse that she'd followed her brother when he went shopping for his girlfriend's birthday that day, hoping to find a suitable present for her only friend. Luckily, she'd seen the perfect thing. Now, even when Yuki felt that she was alone, she'd have the ren pendant as a reminder of Hana.
Now as she trailed behind her brother, Yuki touched one of the twin necklaces she wore around her neck. She could hear a boy talking to his friend about some new game. Something called Digimon Online. When she'd asked what it was, her brother had shrugged. He muttered something about virtual reality before continuing towards the house, leaving Yuki with the choice of either being left behind, or jogging to catch up. Her breath puffed as she picked up the pace, glancing back over her shoulder curiously before slowing down at the corner.
"Hey Koji, I'm going to go deliver this to Hana, I'll meet you at the house." Even as she watched him nod and walk away, she knew he wouldn't be there when she returned. No one would. Cold fingers tightened on the lotus charm.
That'd been a week ago.
She'd given the pendant to her friend, and they both promised to call every night, and that they'd meet up on their birthdays. They'd smiled and joked and just before Yuki knew she had to go home, they'd cried. As she'd guessed, there'd been a brief note on the counter when she'd gotten in the house. Her parent's were both working late, and her brother was staying at his friends tonight. Dinner was in the microwave. As she ate, her mind kept going back to the game she'd heard about and giving in to her curiosity, she looked it up online.

The bell above the cafe jingled, a tinkling of noise that caused a few customers to look up. The girl bowed quickly as an apology for disturbing them as they cruised the internet before directing her attention to a technological wonder.
"Are you going to play?"
Yuki looked over and saw a young boy, close to her age. She nodded and smiled cheerfully. "I think so! Wish me luck, okay?"
With a confident smile, Yuki stepped up to one of the sleek pods, she looked in it, then around it, before finally stepping inside. She was curious, curious to find out what this virtual reality was like, and curious to see what sort of people she could meet if she joined them. New friends could be right at her fingertips, along with new memories, and a way to stop being alone.
Enter Username.
Yuki thought about it. Then an idea bloomed, and touching the simple flower pendant, she smiled again. It was the lotus that'd led to her learning about this game, and slowing she typed, "R...E...N."
