[Veronica isn't at all cheerful or snarky like she usually is. She sounds like she's been crying a lot, and is still crying.]

This is so dumb. I don't want to talk to people online over something like this, but-- I--

[She starts crying again, and has to stop and calm down before speaking again]

My dad died today. He's dead, and I don't know

...A-are you all right?

[vmarsissmarter]

NO! My dad is dead and I don't have anywhere to go.. or.. anything! I don't know what I'm going to do! And he's dead!

[noirnoshirayuki]

Calm down. It... I know this is going to sound ridiculous but- he really isn't dead. This is a virus from the community.

[vmarsissmarter]

How can you say that?! This isn't a joke!

[noirnoshirayuki]

...I'm not joking, this is your worst fear, isn't it? Losing your father? The community is making almost everyone live their worst fears today.

[vmarsissmarter]

But... it's not... it feels so real, you know? Are you sure about that?

[noirnoshirayuki]

I am. This community has given me fake memories and made me to think I was married at one time. Your post is one of the many that are showing people with their worst fear.

It always feels real, it's why the community does it in the first place.

[vmarsissmarter]

... Yeah, I see what you mean. It's happening to everyone, isn't it? That's a little too weird to all be a coincidence...

So he'll be back in a couple days, right? I just have to make it through this.

[noirnoshirayuki]

Hopefully sooner. This may just only be a day. I'm... I'm sorry this had to be your first experience for a virus. It's a horrible one to go through.

Ah, I'm Rukia, by the way. Kuchiki Rukia.

[vmarsissmarter]

I hope so. The less I have to... experience this, the better. Yeah, I... think my days of making fun of the viruses is over. At least for a week or two.

Veronica. Thanks for giving me the heads up, Rukia.
