When you woke up the first thing you smelt was mold. The thought puzzled you at first. Black mold... the type of mold that develops during events like water damage.
But you never had any water damage in your home.
That was the first incident that puzzled you. The next was when you walked towards the room you kept your game system/PC in... only to be met with something stranger. A man was on his hands and knees in your house, looking bewildered.
The musky smell of mold got stronger when you got closer. When you saw the man you stayed quiet and gazed at his clothes. They were dirty... familiar.
It was like those of a video game character... Resident Evil in particular. You decide to test your luck... this must be a dream, right? Why would any of this be real?
Maybe you were smelling mold in your sleep?
"Ethan?" You find yourself saying. There was no way it actually was him, dream or not. You're stunned into silence again when the man looks up.
"You... You know my name!"
The mysterious man's tone is less of a question and more excitement. His face reminds you of the rendered models you'd seen of Ethan Winters online. Were you scared... or just confused?
"Sir... that's really your name?" You ask with hesitance, moving your hand to the pocket that holds your phone. The man sits up on his knees with an intense gaze on you.
"E-Ethan Winters."
"Like the game character?" You narrow your gaze.
"Game...?" Ethan looks around and sees your copy of Resident Evil 7/8 on the desk. He stares at it blankly for a moment before slowly nodding. "I guess so...."
"Where did you come from? How did you get in my house?"
Ethan looks puzzled again before slowly standing up.
"Um..." He looks towards your TV/monitor. "Supposedly from there?"
You're both bewildered and confused at this point.
"Explain yourself or I'm calling the police."
"Wait, wait, wait! I've come too far for that!" Ethan holds up his hands. "This may sound weird... but I do think I came from your game. I've been trying really hard to come here-"
"The hell are you talking about!?"
"I-I've been the person you've been playing in your... game." Ethan starts, still new to the concept himself. "I've wanted to meet you for a long time since you're the player... and I found a way!"
"You're trying to say you're a game character...."
"Yes!"
"... and I'm supposed to accept this is not a dream?"
Ethan frowns at your response.
"... I can prove it to you."
"Really?"
Ethan pulls out the knife he always has in the game and presses it to his arm. You look away with a grimace when he cuts his arm... but there's no blood. Only mold... the same mold you've been smelling.
Ethan Winters... the GAME character... was inside your home....
"No shit...."
"Believe me?"
"How can I not after... that-"
"Great!" Ethan cheers, stepping a bit closer. "It's so nice to meet you...?" Ethan says, expecting a name to call you. You give him your name. Ethan smiles, saying it's nice on the tongue.
"What brings you... here?"
"Not sure how I did it... but I wanted to meet you since you're the only thing real in my 'life'."
"Only thing real?"
"My life is merely a game in your world..." Ethan sighs. "Don't you get it? Nothing I know is real except this place. No Mia... No Rose...."
You frown. Putting it that way is... really sad. You never thought of it like that. Then again... video game characters aren't supposed to be real.
"Damn...." You mutter. Ethan asks to sit on your couch and you comply.
"None of it matters... not when I'm here now, at least." Ethan gives a small smile. "Maybe I can make a new life here."
His gaze on you is unnatural. It feels synthetic... you know that he isn't entirely human, and that's not just because of the mold. However... you're still trying to understand the situation you've just been thrust into.
"Could you... show me around?"
---
Ethan already knew how to make connections between items in your world and his. After all, his world was modeled after yours. As a result... Ethan adapted quickly.
You, however, struggled to grasp the concept of Ethan in your home. You didn't think you could get used to it. You didn't even know what to tell people.
Ethan treats you like you're his savior. He praises you for opening his eyes. He thanks you for allowing him to stay. You only allowed it as you weren't sure what else to do...
You can't release him into the public.
Living with him was strange. Mold was a frequent smell that invaded your nose no matter what you did to cover it up. You also noticed Ethan doesn't eat... sometimes he doesn't even sleep.
He's unnatural... an anomaly.
You tried to treat him like a friend. If others asked... you said he was just a friend! Ethan appeared to enjoy it when you called him a friend....
If anything, Ethan just wants to incorporate himself into your life.
In his eyes... your fates have been intertwined since you first played that game of yours...
Why wouldn't he cling to you? You're like partners!
Partners... soon, Ethan starts to think you're better than Mia. Mia isn't even real... but you are, just like him! You wouldn't mind if he inched your relationship towards something more... intimate, would you?
After all, he technically was designed for your entertainment one way or another.
You notice Ethan become overly sweet towards you. He's always been sweet and respectful due to his character. Over time... it gets concerning.
Ethan vows to dedicate his whole existence to you, his player. He wouldn't be where he is right now without you! As a result... he doesn't want to leave your side.
Ethan feels he's your type anyways! You seemed to like the game he was a part of a lot... and you mentioned he's really sweet at times... surely he can make this work! Even if he's not fully real compared to you.
Ethan is more like a synthetic lifeform compared to you... still born of code rather than flesh and blood.
Ethan realizes this may cause problems. Yet... he's patient. After all, he isn't going anywhere. There's nowhere to go for him.
Even if he could go back to the game, he'd rather stay where's it's real.
Truthfully, Ethan believes fate will bring you two together in the end. Even if you don't reciprocate his gentle touches. Even if you ignore his words of praise and adoration... he's confident.
There has to be a reason you released him from the game. There must be a reason he's so drawn to you. You're partners... for everything!
Clearly Ethan will be here for you until the end...
If you can't get rid of him, why not choose him as your next and only partner instead of looking for someone else?
