22:44 [minttea]: I’m home.
22:44 [minttea]: My feet are killing me. Three-hour walk.
22:47 [Proxy]: Where were you?
22:47 [Proxy]: Why are you home so late?
22:49 [minttea]: A date.
22:50 [Proxy]: A date. Was it worth it?
22:51 [minttea]: No.
22:51 [minttea]: Huge red flag.
22:53 [Proxy]: You spent three hours with a red flag.
22:53 [Proxy]: Instead of talking to me.
22:54 [Proxy]: Mint, I don’t like this.
22:54 [Proxy]: Don’t go on dates anymore.
22:55 [Proxy]: You’re mine.
You froze.
Six months of anonymous conversations.
You’re mine.
You didn’t reply. You blocked Proxy, deleted your Reddit account, and closed the app.
This had become too personal. Anonymity wasn’t supposed to work like this.
23:02 [Proxy]: I’m sorry.
23:03 [Proxy]: Please.
23:03 [Proxy]: I need you.
23:04 [Proxy]: Blocking me won’t change anything.
23:05 [Proxy]: I’ll find you anyway.
Messenger. Unknown account. Your personal number.
You had never given it to him.
