I sucked in a deep breath and forced myself to look and act normal. I knew Lily’s stats and growth rates by heart, so I didn’t even need to bother with Analyze.

[Lily Harmonix]

Starting Level: 5

That was what her profile looked like in the game, but that wasn’t all I knew about Lily.

While I pretended to examine her, I desperately thought of how I would recruit her. Since growths never changed, it was likely Lily would only come to get appraised this once. This was likely my only chance to win her over. Doing my best not to let my impatience show on my face, I wrote down Lily’s numbers from memory. I then walked over to Lily and held the page out. But then I purposely let the paper slip from my fingers.

In my time playing BB, Lily had been the character who’d tugged at my heartstrings the most, in both good and bad ways. As I mentally went through what I knew about her from my time playing the game, I glanced over at her. She was clearly uneasy and a little afraid, but she was also tightly clenching her fists as if determined to stand up for herself if need be. She was like a small animal that you instinctively felt like you needed to protect. I even felt that way despite knowing her true nature, which meant whoever had designed her on the BB team had done an extremely good job.
