i will remember her:
being so patient as she tried to teach me Halo—me, whose gamer experience was limited to Spyro circa some five years ago—because i’d wanted to share in what she loved. i was awful. i couldn’t turn and walk at the same time. that sort of awful. but she was so patient, so patient with me. until the third hour. then, every time i turned around, she was there, and i was dead. ‘you’re always behind me!’ i yelled and giggled. she kissed my cheek and killed me again.
