Cyber World Part 1

***

Back to the dusty, messed up, wrecked domain people call the girl's room. The capsule is now beeping as it hushing out a chilling air from underneath its white metallic plate. Its lid sliding aside and then a hand emerged from it.

Slowly raising high, the hand then grabbed onto the capsule's edge, using it as a force and propel its owner up from the depth of the capsule. Turns out, it's Sio— ”It's FUCKING COLD DAMMIT!”

Shivering from the chilling atmosphere, S-Siola rushed in getting out of the capsule and stumbled flat on the ground, ”Guh, whoever did this to me, I swear I'll kill you!”

A wind magically passed her by, ”Brrr, fuck, so cold.”

She holds her ground back and dashed toward the bathroom to have a warm shower.

Previously, at the time she was in-game. Siola noticed that the time is almost up for her to do a quick recharge for the capsule. So, she went into the Meditate Mode as she called it. Closing her eyes and concentrating her will on one single thing, mumbling about something, saying that she wants to log out.

And then...

A buzzing noise came from the [Notification], it appeared upfront and asking her if she was sure that she wants to log out of the game, she answered yes and then in a moment, she logged out instantly. Then after a few minutes of desynchronization…

… here we are.

*snap *snap

Siola is snapping her fingers away while dancing like an idiot in front of a mirror. ”Oh, she don't see, the light that shining. Deeper than eyes can find it…”

Her voice is so terri— Her voice is so wonderful. Perfectly aligning with each rhythm that she spits out. They keep hitting the right mark of it. ”Maybe we have made her blind, so she tries to cover up her pain…” touching her cheek in the mirror, ”Cause covergirls don't cry, after their face is made, but…”

She yells the song passionately, moving around going, ”OoOooooOooOOOH”

Siola then looked at herself with sparkling eyes, almost teary. ”She don't understand she's worth it, or that beauty goes deeper than the surface, oo-ooh.”

She smiled.

”So, to all the girls that hurting, let me be your mirror…”

Moving her hands around, she yelled with high spirits as she remembers the memories of her past life. The beautiful part of her younger self, how she used to live... and how it changed.

…

A few moments later.

She sighed, ”Haa… I wish I can listen to that again. Guess I really need a phone now, don't I? Hahahaa…'

After a while cleaning herself with the towel, she's done.

Turning off the shower, she looked back to the towel and then… sniffed them.

*Fuuuhhh *Fwahhhh

”Hehe… I wonder if it's weird for people to sniff their own scent, but oh well, I love myself.”

”Hum-hum-hum” rubbing her short hair clean with the towel, she stopped as she saw the capsule. ”…” she paused for a moment.

Thinking back on the memories of how she got the capsule hurt her.

Her lips twitched, and then she throws the towels inside it. ”Yeah, I don't think I can game on that. Just how can people even play with that anyway, first-gen must be like, 'Bruhh…', when they came out of it chilled to the bone.”

The lid is closing in on itself as if it has senses a movement that the owner went inside, even though she's not. Siola flapped her hair around and held it to the back of her head, she then sat on top of the capsule while resting her hand on it.
