I first met her through an online game. Not a serious PC game, but a mobile social game. She was one of the players who sent me a friend request when I first started, and I accepted. We didn't interact much beyond basic greetings, and I didn't even know she was a woman at first. For about half a year, I played casually as a pastime. But then, suddenly, she began appearing at the top ranks during events. In social games with massive player bases, it's tough to reach the top without spending money, yet she reportedly spent tens of thousands of yen in a single event. She said that's why her part-time job had gotten busier. By then, I already knew she was a woman, and we'd exchanged a few emails. So I boldly messaged her: "If you're interested, I can introduce you to a high-paying job that doesn't take much time. It's probably the kind of work you're thinking of—would you actually be willing to do it?" She replied, "Let me think about it for a bit." The next day, another email arrived: "I'll do it." I never expected she'd actually go through with it—willing to expose her real self for the sake of virtual reputation. It was shocking, a sign of how different today's youth really are.
