"I don't believe it." Rosalind scoffed in disbelief. She took the whole day off work to sit and watch the premier with me. I had to have wine while we watched or I would have broken down. Tears were already forming in my eyes as the screen faded to black. "What an absolute--"
"How could he?" I gasped softly. "He lied. He straight up lied. Just friends? Hardly talked to each other? What?"
"Why would he say that? Why did he lie?" Ro was closely sitting next to me, filling my wine glass up. "Maybe it was a publicity thing, you know? Maybe..." My ears started to drown every noise out, I just wanted sleep. Ringing. Blurry. My heart pounding so hard that I thought it might jump out of my chest. I just wanted sleep. "Andy?" Please, sleep.
*3 hours later*
I woke up in a hospital room. "What happened?" My voice was groggy and my throat felt shredded. Ro was sitting in a chair right next to the bed, completely asleep. She opened her eyes and sat up straight, pushing herself closer to me and holding my hand.
"Geez. You scared me!" She sighed with relief. "You passed out. I thought you fainted but you weren't waking up, I had to call an ambulance."
I groaned, "More debt. Yay."
"I know, sorry. I'll help pay off this bill, don't worry." She rubbed my back. "The doctors said you had such a bad panic attack that you passed out. You woke up not long after the ambulance came but you were.. frantic. They had to sedate you. You've been asleep for.. 3 hours now I think."
That sounded amazing. "Okay."
"I'm going to find the doctor. Don't go anywhere."

"Don't think I can even if I want to." I laughed lightly, holding my arms and seeing the wires and tubes hanging off of me. I looked over, seeing my phone tucked inside Ro's purse, I reached over to grab it. A few missed calls from my parents, no surprise. I opened instagram, trying to pass the time, I opened a few messages just because I was curious. Then, finally, it happened.
New imessage from XXX-XXX-XXXX
It's Tom.. I don't know if you saw the Oprah premier but if you did.. I'm sorry.
I scoffed. After nearly a month, he finally messages me and that's it? He lied on international television and all I got was a I'm sorry... I ignored his message and went back to instagram. I unprivated all my socials and posted a picture--
Alive and well. Sort of. Anyway, I do not like liars.

Data Dragon Danika
After a great deal of preparation, Danika begins her new digital dragon's life in a very small way. They say the "Living Jade Empire" creates individualized quests. They say it can read your mind. They say you can find your heart's desire. They say that there's never been a game like it, and they're right but… they're also wrong. The game is a data mine, built to retell the old tales that humans have been telling each other since language was invented. It doesn't read your mind, but it reads your search history, your favorites, and your blogs. The "Living Jade Empire" is literally crafted from fables, legends, fantasies, and maybe just a bit of stardust. But in the end, will the game be able to figure out what Danika wants most? Will the desires of other players take priority? Or, will playing it change her, until she desires what it can give her? A journey is always made up of many small steps, and this game has still only just begun.
