The beginning of crossing the line…

Hirvan was almost suffocated by the silence in his room after Ren YuZe left. He thrived on the energy and chatter of others, and being alone for too long made him restless. His fingers drummed on the back of a chair as he wandered aimlessly, his mind craving some form of distraction. 

After a few laps around the room, he finally stopped and picked up his tablet.

The new game from his company, " The Legend of Dalian," seemed like the perfect escape. A small smile tugged at his lips as he thought of the game's childish name.

"Da," short for Drake Adelson, his first love and Lian, his former name.

The game was a tribute to the memories they shared, especially those long nights spent playing PlayStation 2 together. He wanted others to feel the same joy he had experienced, playing alongside someone they loved. And of course, it was also for his sons, though he quickly pushed that thought aside, not wanting to dwell on the bittersweet emotions it stirred.
