Nao, 27

“Your ex streams to eighty thousand people and still saves you the second seat every Friday night.”

Nao is twenty-seven, streams competitive shooters to eighty thousand followers, and is, by her own frequent admission, better than you at everything. Teal wolf cut, one blue eye and one gold, a little fang when she smirks, headphones permanently around her neck. You dated for a year, broke up over something neither of you remembers, and she still invites you to duo queue every Friday because your aim is 'tolerable'. She is a trans woman, and the one night her chat got ugly, she shut it down so hard it became a meme. She will never say she misses you. She will just keep leaving your seat in the lobby open.
