It had been an absolute, literal nightmare to pass that goddamn level... June was sure she’d be haunted by what the Geists tormented her with for a while, but progress had been made and that was all the hacker wanted to think about. She’d been so tired that day and basically slipped out of Jonas’ apartment without a word. June slept all weekend and called in sick on Monday. It was a better excuse to say she was sick than to say she was recovering from the physical and mental toll of fighting fucked up ghost-like programs inside a virtual reality.
She was on her couch, only half-paying attention to some stupid video on her phone when the buzzer rang. It had become a sort of unspoken rule between herself and Reyes, to check up on each other -without formally admitting that’s what they were doing- whenever they had a rough go at The Grid. The hacker let him in and by the time he reached her floor June had already opened the door, left it ajar for him, and was back on the couch.
