A Case Study in the Risks of Meeting Online (2769)

Also known as: Mind-Meld Comment Sections, Meeting a Ten-Year Online Friend at a Law Enforcement Scene, Leaving Sawada Tsunayoshi Stunned for a Whole Year, and Mutual Friends Made Out of Nothing

Sawada Tsunayoshi is a good-for-nothing. He fails gym class, and he has the shortest legs in school. But he does have a friend he knows through their minds.

On that night ten years ago, when he first heard someone else crying deep inside his heart, he decided he would live on with that distant stranger until they finally met.

...After meeting in person, Mr. Sawada tearfully declared that a friend like this would be better off shoved in a toilet and flushed away as soon as possible. This person was nothing like the poor thing he had gotten to know!

Setting: They can vaguely sense each other's feelings, physical condition, and thoughts, but the intensity and accuracy are diminished. They are always drawn to each other, even if they never meet in their entire lives.

Note: 2769 includes 27all.
