Tora's Butterflies: Winning Against the Odds in CS:GO.

“Ya, I’m just saying they could be hiding in the back of that building, ya know?”

Two friends were hunched over their laptops in a dimly lit cafe. “Ok, let me see.” The man with his laptop open and screen facing away from the building turned to look out of the large glass window at the dark sky.

“I can’t see anything…” Shaking his head, he closed his laptop and placed it in his worn leather bag. “I don’t think they are there, but if you want to go scout it out feel free. I’ve got a game to play anyway.”

The woman with short black hair threw her hands up. “That’s exactly what I mean! You never have time for me anymore! It has been like this for years! Nothing has changed! Not even your old games are interesting anymore, you just used to play them all day now you just drop some money on them and forget about them! Do you remember that time we went hiking? We had such a great time… But nothing has been the same since then! You don’t even listen to me anymore! You pretend like that hike never happened! And why would you? You found your own little world with those games and I thought it was cute at first but fuck it, yanno! It sucks! It sucks so much!!! I am getting out of here!!”

The man sighed and picked up his bag. “Fine, fine, I didn’t want to talk about it anyway, but whatever ok I get it you want a kid or something right?! Well how about when I am done playing my games we talk about it ok? Until then let me play my game in peace. What is wrong with you today? So moody and impulsive… We will talk about it later ok? Just chill out for once… Please?”

The woman hesitated for a moment before shouting: “Fuck off! Fuck off and play your game!! This isn’t about having kids anymore, this is about us living our lives together!! Our life together!! Do you even care about me anymore? Do you love me at all?? Are you even going to answer?? Did that hike mean anything to you at all?? Did any of our relationship mean anything?? If so then why did everything change after that hike??? Why can’t we go back to the way we were before… before that day?? You know what whatever! Fuck off!! Go play your fucking game and stop worrying about me!! Just leave me alone!! Go back to your stupid games!! I hate those things more than words can say!! They suck more than you ever could!! You are so boring!! You never talk!! You just sit there staring at your screen looking like an idiot while I try to be happy around you!!! Fuck off!!! Fuck off and die!!! Die!! Die with your stupid games that steal your heart away from me!!!! Leave me alone!!!! Find someone else who wants to sit on their ass playing games all day!!!! That sounds perfect for people like you!!!! Well guess what?! I am not one of those people!!!!! Bye!!!!! Leave me alone already!!!! Let me have my own life without trying to hold onto yours!!! Let go already!!! LET GO ALREADY!!!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!! NO MORE GAMES!!! FUCK OFF AND DIE WITH YOUR STUPID GAMES THAT ARE RUINING MY LIFE!!!! LEAVE ME ALONE AND DIE WITH THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
