At first I thought he was returning to his silent self again, or deciding that I was annoying him, when I said his skill levels were higher than my idol and friend, David’s. I gave him David’s player name for reference, in case he wouldn’t believe me. But when I finished my compliment he ceased his relentless performance of alchemy, and raised his head, making eye contact finally. From a distance his eyes seemed to glow. As soon as I showed incomprehension he looked upon me once more, the spark in his eyes vanished, and he became rigid and full of horror. His eyes widened and as if the devil were eating him alive.
After a few questions about my life, and how I met David, which I perceived as simple curiosity, he dropped the subject. He was interested in how David settled in college, and was delighted to know that David was alive and well, and happy, more than anything else. Soon I was overcome with fatigue and I had to log off. We said goodbye to each other, and he thanked me for coming, apologised that there were nothing left for me today. He told me later, in a few weeks’ time, that I was the only person he added permanently to his friends list that year.

I'm pretty sure I've read it before on this thread though. And I don't mean today, I mean the first time I read it.
