Actual story
Baitle, or Rue, had a shitty home life. Physically abusive father (who caused them to go partially blind in one eye (beer bottle)) (he also caused a lot of Rue's anxieties and fears), and a loving but nonconfrontational mother who loved flowers, sparking Rue's love for flowers and their dream job of being a florist. They also had an adopted younger brother, Brian, who they loved dearly.
When they were 18, they met Annalise, and they ended up getting together. Little did Rue know, she actually worked for C&A. Annalise managed to get close to both Rue and Brian, before causing Brian(who loved video games, and she offered him a new one (the headset)) to get trapped in the digital world and therefore going missing in the real world. Devastated, Rue turned to Annalise, who they didn't know was the cause of his disappearance, and she played this to her advantage.
One day, Rue found out that she was the reason for his dissapearance, and in a fit of rage and betrayal, picked up a box cutter and killed her. After that, they put on the headset and entered the digital world as Baitle.
Annalise maganed to, in her last moments, put on the headset before actually dying, and became Roselene.
Brian because Cassius (who I haven't introduced yet except for lore posting and phonequest), but essentially he HATES Baitle(and Roselene) because he assumes that they sided with Annalise and planned to trap him in the digital world. His design was supposed to be based off a cordyceps.
But.yeah thats basically it. Baitle's scared to go back to the real world because theyre scared of the concequences of being found alive.
