But I ignored all those tiny issues because I thought, in true video game romance fashion, that any problems that did arise could be ironed out if played smarter. Also, his friend explicitly warned me to not trust him. That’s when I found Sunder with his face buried in a random woman’s neck. I decided to follow him - not because I was insecure, you understand, I was just worried he might have fallen over or something like that.

Sunder would send me a picture of himself in sword form captioned, “I was just… feeling… extra sharp today.” The overly civil Isaac would sign his texts like he was writing a business email.

Sunder was natural, flirtatious, owned a club and looked like he had been ripped directly out of a protein shake advert. Isaac’s stiff manner soon became unattractive when he stood directly next to the brooding Sunder, who arrived soon afterwards. A gentleman called Isaac took me on my first run through the ‘Dunj’, as he transformed into a perfectly straight estoc to match his strait-laced personality.
